Our sales circulars run from Friday to Thursday. There's a packet done by the newspaper by which people can get the circulars on Wednesday (but the prices on them don't go into effect for two more days). It was bad enough explaining to SCs before...
For some reason, they now have clippable coupons...with restrictions. Each coupon is only valid for that week with a $25 minimum purchase. Yesterday I had a few dozen customers come through with these coupons and I had to explain to each one that they don't kick in until tomorrow...for some reason known only to Corporate the valid dates and minimum purchase are in a .5-size font (and the printing on those things is never the best, so print smaller than a certain size always blurs; I even had trouble reading it).
A few people flipped their shit and threw the coupons (no items, thank Gord) at me. Most of those were 'of a certain ethnicity' (actually both of the extractions known for EW-ism around here, joy). One SC actually threw their grapes on the floor and made quite the mess (one of the coupons is grapes for 88 cents a pound but I think they're on sale to begin with), and MOD actually forced them to pay--full price--for the bag (which I had already weighed so could not void out anyway).
