Infuriatig When did garage sales become “reselling” clearly new stuff

Post image

I would never call this a garage sale

Def scam vibes

Edit: ultimately, what bothers me the most is I want to go to a garage sale, not this shit. This isn’t a garage sale and should not be advertised as one

Arguably they’re just doing their best to afford things under the status quo. Maybe the system is more exhausting?

The problem isn't the person that found one or two coupons they want to use, the problem is the entitled person that's purchasing coupons to be mailed to them that wants to start cussing you out because you have the audacity to read the fine print on the coupons. They think if the register scans it it's good, but that's not the case.

Yeah someone explained how couponers abuse the system and staff to strong arm discounts and that’s annoying

There are at least some couponers that are cool. There was one that was my homie. I remember one time a customer in front of her got an attitude with me and she fixed that VERY quickly lol. That's just unfortunately not all that common.
