| Thank you!! Negative attitudes are contagious, and that is not what we want from AFC! Most cashiers are making low wages and many are just doing as their managers have told them. Thank you CM Angel for this great reminder!! Let's have a reputation of complimenting more than criticizing! It makes this a happier place for everyone!!

| Thank you both. I rarely have a bad experience with coupons and cashiers, but all of the negative posts really put me on the defensive when I go shopping with a stack of Q's. I guess we all need to remember to post the good experiences more. |

| Thanks gals! We have to remember that just because a cashier does not take our coupon does not make her/him "stupid"! |

| Well said, I agree "stupid and ******ed" are words I do not even let my children say (I am a mother of a special needs child, so I don't like those words thrown around). Maybe they are uneducated on the coupon policy. Just remember, they have to listen to their manager, just go with what they say and if it is incorrect, go to corporate, they will make it OK. But in any regards, stupid is not an adjective to use for anyone!!! |

| I wholeheartedly agree!! Maybe the attitude of the customer that sees the cashier as stupid needs to change some! I think it needs to change a lot!! There are those that go into a store with a "take no prisoners attitude" and demand to have everything like they think it should be! This isn't the attitude that got AFC the reputation of being "the friendliest board on the internet." I personally will go out of my way NOT to do the things that would cause a shadow to be cast on AFC or couponing in any way! |

| I also look at couponing as a blessing, and not necessarily an expectation. If a coupon says ANY, but the store says not on trial size, fine. I also find that I have a more pleasant, enjoyable, and successful shopping trip if I am not on the defensive. Coupons save and bless my family in many ways, but I also see it as my hobby and not something that I want to stress me out! |
