2 . ""rep"-- means someone putting out"

the forms? My guess is he/she was upset to see one person take a lot or all..... I have been near reps in the aisle and have picked up one to read it and they do not seem to object to that.... It makes sense that you would read a form to see how many you have to buy. Did she take a handful or all and rep happe ned to be watching?

4 . "Of course the rep got angry"

He/She is putting out those forms and coupons to generate more business for the company - not for your friend to take them all and sell them.

I was walking around in an Ohio store and reading neckers since Ohio is usually state specific on their rebate forms. The wine rep asked me what I was doing, I explained that I live in FL and was visiting in OH and wondered if I could use the rebate offer in FL. He was nice and polite. I was not stealing the forms to sell online. In my state of FL, If you remove wine neckers or peelie coupons off products, it is considered shoplifing

5 . "Liquor Reps!!!!"
 Posted by Hulls on Dec-20-20 at 05:34 PM (Eastern)
Posted on Dec-20-20 at 05:34 PM (Eastern) by 74.36.150.81

I usually move right along also. Finish shopping and then go
back to the liquor dept. I have never had a issue with
them. Years ago I ran into a rep that usually takes
care of stores in my area of WI. He was at a liquor
store 60 miles away and we had stopped on our way
to the UP of MI camping. It helped that I had a
cart with Beer in it so it didn't look so obvious that
I was also looking at forms.
I know him as it is a small population here and
he was the salesman when my parents owned a bar
in the 90's. I head the opposite direction when I
see him. lol

I love feedback, please let me know how
your trading experience went with me,
Thank You

6 . "so do the people who sell forms online (more)"

usually take all available? Just curious...often wondered. I know a lot of people on here put on miles and use a lot of gas whenever they pick up forms at a lot of places, towns, etc. from the way it sounds. Interesting.

but back in the 80s and 90s when refunding was at its best, I was selling forms and running ads in 3 magazines - did a form hunt with a friend for 6 hours every Monday - never took them "all" but sometimes only left 2 or 3. We used to bump into other refunders who just took every form they found, even the junky ones. I used to order the rebate forms for A&P and Pathmark - it was a lot of fun

9 . "For many years refunding "rules""
 Posted by ndmom8 on Dec-24-20 at 03:05 PM (Eastern)
Posted on Dec-24-20 at 03:05 PM (Eastern) by 65.23.173.222

for forms were understood to be "one for yourself, and one to share" in each store.

(Sometimes there Is more on the counter, or in a display holder available) And there is a kind employee, and if explain that I can do 3 of those offers per household, etc, then I can have a few extra

If I visit more than one store, I sometimes have more to share.---

10 . "SHE LEAVES PLENTY"

EXCUSE MY CAPS - BETTER FOR MY EYE STRAIN SITUATION.

NEVER GETS ALL OF THEM. AND, YES, SHE SHARES. SEEMS TO ME IT BENEFITS BOTH PEOPLE WHEN A TRADE IS MADE ON A WEBSITE. IF YOU ENJOY LOOKING AROUND AND CAN AFFORD TO DO IT OUT OF YOUR OWN POCKET WITHOUT ASKING A FEE - GREAT, GO AHEAD! MORE POWER TO YA. IF YA NEED TO ASK A FEE TO HELP WITH THE COSTS OF IT...MORE POWER TO YA. ITS EACH PERSON'S OWN BUSINESS, JUST MY OPINION.

SHE WAS ASKED IF SHE WAS "TAKING" ALL THE FORMS TO WHICH SHE SAID NO - BECAUSE SHE WASN'T. THE REP - YES, SALSA FAN - THE WINE SALESPERSON - IN THIS CASE A WOMAN - WAS VERY RUDE AND RIGHT IN HER FACE. THAT IS UNCALLED FOR.

she was shoplifting, no matter if she took 2 or 20.

Sure we all share and we all benefit from others taking forms, but don't pretend it is all good. It is what it is. I buy forms, I share free forms, I share coupons, We all do. But don't pretend.

When I visit my son in Ohio, I just cannot WAIT!!! to go to the supermarket since then always have TONS!! of forms
