I think that we should have a thread listing what stores in our areas are coupon/ECB friendly. I am in the KC area and have shopped at 3 different stores since Sunday.
The stores at College & Quivira and 126th & Antioch are both great! They were both really patient while I matched up the coupons and I even did 2 transactions at each store. At the College store, I bought the Colgate (which doesn't count anymore) and when it didn't produce ECB's I asked the manager about it. He said that that was a deal that expired in March and allowed me to return them right after purchasing without making me feel like a criminal.
The store at 95th & Antioch was not so great. I was there on Sunday and had the misfortune of dealing with the store manager when it came time to authorize my $40 ECB. He was HORRIBLE!!!. My ECB (of course) came up "not valid for card scanned". He acknowledge the fact that my name was printed on the coupon and that the last four numbers printed were in fact the last four on my card but said there was nothing he could do. When I then used several smaller ECB's to get to the same $40 amount, he loudly commented several times how "ridiculous" this was and how dare I expect to get a cart full of stuff for nothing.
Bottom line: The moral of my post is:
College & Quivira=GOOD
126th & Antioch=GOOD
95th & Antioch=BAD!!!
Anyone else want to share their experiences? I think this will help all of us know where to avoid the embarrassing problems.
