Walgreens Topic Yesterday

If you missed it, you can read yesterday's Are you having problems at Walgreens? post here.  I was happy to have a reader comment on this topic!  Reader, TheRealMe, is reporting that Walgreens is limiting couponers to four transactions, period.  Not sure if this is here in Hopkins County or not.  I didn't think of this earlier, but there are three registers at Walgreens.  Why couldn't you do a couple transactions at each register?

I haven't been couponing much at Walgreens lately for two reasons. 
1.) I have a pretty good stockpile of Health & Beauty products
2.) The "hot" items are rarely instock when I try to get them. 

How do you feel about a limit on the number of transactions you can do?  Do you think it creates more, unnecessary work for the cashiers?  Do you think it's rude to tie up the line to do multiple transactions?  What if you were willing to go to the back of the line when other customers were ready to checkout?

    The limit is at the north main location in Madisonville and I asked if I could go to another register. The lady said no 4 transactions means 4 transactions no matter what register you use. The south main location (so far) has no problems with number of transactions so long as you're willing to get in the back of the line if someone else comes to check out.

    i can't say i'm surprised that this is happening at the north main store. they've never been very coupon friendly (just my opinion!). the north main store has a couple really nice managers, though, so i can't imagine why they'd want to send their business across town. and couponing may die down, but it's not going to go away completely. there were 3.3 billion coupons redeemed last year. i'm not planning to give it up anytime soon, what about you?
