For the past few months, the same two women have been hitting my store 2-3 times a week with STACKS of Internet coupons for FREE merchandise, and not cheap shit either.. $20 Gilette razor systems, Prilosec, etc. Cashiers have been taking them because they look legit if you don't look at them closely. Kmart doesn't accept Internet coupons, for those of you that don't know. The reason being that we don't get reimbursed for them.
The difference with these coupons is that these ladies are real pros and it is difficult to tell they are Internet coupons unless you look closely at the print on them, which is obviously from a home printer. They are double-sided and cut nearly perfect. Our loss prevention manager says that we have lost close to $1000 from these coupons. I'm guessing that these women are reselling the free merchandise on Ebay or somewhere else.
I work in the cash office at Kmart usually one or two days a week. Well, I had to count one of our cashiers $106.04 short today because she accepted a shitload of the coupons. I felt bad about it, but oh well. I'm guessing she was not informed about the coupons. I relayed this to my manager, and she agreed, and said she'd talk to the girl. Hopefully she won't get into too much trouble.
My question to y'all is.. do your stores accept Internet coupons? I had one woman snap at me when I told her I couldn't accept her Internet coupon, "Well WALGREENS accepts them!" Good, that's Walgreens, and you're in Kmart, bitch.
