Harris Teeter Heads-Up

Just a short note to my fellow Harris Teeterers; if you shop at the Millsboro, Delaware Harris Teeter, you'll need to watch your couponing habits. Although they do stick to their own coupon policy, it has been my experience that some cashiers will override some things, and some will not. For instance, on one visit I was told I could not use two coupons on a Buy One Get One deal. The very next time I went back I was allowed to do this. Then today when I went I figured I would just not even try to test the waters and just do two separate transactions as everything I was buying was BOGO.

I divided my order up and told the cashier that it would be two separate transactions. She looked at me funny so I explained that I was using coupons on each transaction (which was probably a mistake). She said she wasn't sure she could do that and called the manager over. The manager has to be a drill sergeant in her off hours. She sternly told me that they were NOT supposed to do this, that they would do this ONLY ONCE, and that I was ONLY doing it to get around their coupon policy (well, duh) and NOT to do it again. Yes, sergeant manager, sir.

So, I guess the moral here is, play by the rules at this particular HT, and if you're doing BOGO transactions, for goodness' sake, PLEASE go on two separate days (or at least far enough apart in one day for there to be a shift change!)
