It has been brought to my attention that there are alot of inconsistencies with the coupon policy at the Commissary. Don't get me wrong I do really love the Commissary and the great deals that they provide to military personnel and their families. I just want to clarify that before I continue with my gripe!
I know that over the past few months every time I shop at the Commissary the rules seem to change or that they are just made up as that "special cashier" sees fit. Unfortunately I am ashamed to say that I refer to that "special cashier" as the Coupon Nazi..(You know who you are.) Literally there is nothing so aggravating as having to take almost 45 minutes to check out because some of the cashiers go through each and every coupon like they are counterfeit currency. Hey I get it! But what I don't get is that I'm not the one who is passing the bad coupon. ( It sounds like a child's game ...who has the button,,,oh I mean bad coupon.) "A Bad Coupon" in all honesty is rather funny because hey its a "coupon". Over a year ago I would have laughed my butt off because my mindset was who uses a coupon, but now I really take this personally. If you are counterfeiting coupons stop because it is making my life and countless others HELL! There is nothing that I like to do better than spend 45 minutes of haggling for a $1 off a loaf of bread that is a legitimate coupon and the cashier is looking at me like I'm some misrepresented housewife who missed her lawyer calling. Yes that's right, I'm ashamed to say it but I must take a stand for the $1 coupon. Why you ask ....well after the time that I have put in to find that coupon, cut it, file it, pull it back out, spend two hours at the commissary...another nightmare in itself on a Wednesday (don't ask), and then to wait for 45 minutes in line for someone to question did you really buy that item and no we aren't going to accept it, my response is AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Yeah to be honest it pisses me off. I apologize for swearing but hey lets tell it like it is. At the Commissaries they are really taking this seriously. But what they are failing to realize is that the ones of us that actually work hard to find these coupons and use legitimate coupons are the ones paying for the other ones who are scamming.
But today I have had it!!! I have emailed the Commissary today and tomorrow I will call until someone can provide me the info I am looking to find. How sad it is that when Itry to save money and be conservative, I feel as if I am being punished. What a shame but as I said maybe I have missed my calling because one way or another I am going to get to the bottom of the Commissary Coupon Policy!
I will keep you posted!!!!

You are not the only one that is having issues with the commissary. Every time I go in there, the policy has changed or like you said, the Cashier, has his or her own way of accepting what they want.
