This is Shop Rite. I was well aware that when they said "limit x," it meant that you could get 2 times x, per day. Not when a digital coupon, but sale items discounted with the card.
Yesterday, when they said porterhouse or t-bone for $6.99/lb, I wanted to get some. This price is at all 3 groceries over the last 2 weeks.
I accidentally grabbed the "angus" that is $8.99/lb, so I returned it, no problem.
Here's another thing that they do--"limit 5 lbs."
Every package is about 1.8 lbs to 2.1 lbs. Good luck finding a combination that will not exceed 5 lbs if 3 packs. Anything over rings up $3.00/lb. higher. It recoups the sale discount if you will.
Anyway, this is a first.
I get the right product, under the limit. As soon as I scan the courtesy card, it says, "exceeded daily limit," needs mgr. override.
I haven't even scanned any products.
The clerk told me one can only use a courtesy card once a day, but he overrode that?
What the.....
p.s. I also noticed that at Giant, they now link the use of paper coupons to the courtesy card, to enforce limits.
Again, I know for a fact that Shop Rite used to allow a customer to buy products that were limited, 2 times per day. I tested this by trying to buy 3 and that triggered the need for an override, maybe 2 years ago
