Help settle a coupon debate!

Imagine you’re at a store, and a merchandiser has attached coupons to some of the product on display, say laundry detergent. You don’t need laundry detergent today, but you will need it within the window of validity of the coupon, so you take the coupon to use at a later date. Is this wrong? Are the coupons meant for immediate purchase of the item, or for anyone to use at any time?

They just want you to buy their product- anywhen anyhow. Feel free to take a coupon.

Not wrong. Use by the expiration date.

I wonder how you function in life, OP. Take the coupon.

If it’s a coupon attached to a specific item, you do NOT take the coupon. That coupon belongs to the item and whoever is going to buy it. If the coupon is on display next to the shelf where the item is, then of course take the coupon.

Where is this a written rule. They just want SOMEONE to buy the product, it doesn’t matter who or when or where.

You are a pretty awful human. The fact that it's attached to the item on the shelf and not found in a store coupon book means that it's for use when purchasing the item it's attached to.

Taking a coupon book from the store and using the coupon later is a whole different story.

If this makes someone an awful human to you, I worry about your perceptions.

I remember when people use to steal the coupons from baby formula tubs. I thought that was tacky. But I haven't seen paper coupons in a long time.

Why would this be wrong??

This is for the person buying it THAT day. If you take and don't use it you screwed some one else too. Don't be stingy.

How old are you? You accept coupon and use it when you need it but before it expires.

This. Is the item in a little tray on the shelf? Take. If the item is attached to the specific item? Of course you do not take.

But I'd bet that the people who remove the coupon from the attached item are also the same people who don't bring back their shopping carts.

Is there a law that says I have to return the shopping cart?

If you need laws to tell you right from wrong... that says a lot about you.
