I know this forum is meant for employees and not customer, but seriously, people need to stop leaving coupons for other customers. i am trying to condition my aisles and I am constantly finding coupons that people have left behind for other customers. Does it really give you a good samaritan boner by leaving behind a coupon so the next dumbass can save 20 cents on a package of chipotle flavored banana-infused barbecue sauce? Cause guess what, I'm throwing that crap away. Stop littering up my store, nobody cares that you went to the trouble of cutting a stupid coupon out of the Sunday paper.

We were JUST talking about this today (our conditioner and myself). Today we found lots of expired coupons taped to products. Gee thanks customer!
I normally leave singles on the shelf if they are not expired. If it is a big pile, I throw them in the bailer.
I think I have seen store managers put Kroger printed coupons on shelves before.
One of my better finds was a $5 bill taped to a note under cake mix. Note said to the effect, "Today is your lucky day. Here is $5 for you". I was on a **** list of one of the comanagers and turned it into the front desk. I could just see him trying to catch me taking it.
PS, it is probably initiated by a tv/radio show for "paying it forward" or something.

Happens at my store too. While it's a nice gesture, the coupons left behind seem to go unnoticed or are just unwanted by the customers. I generally just throw the ones I find in the floor as I condition my department.

That happened once before to me only it was $10.00. I enjoyed the lunch I got with the money left. What happened was I was cleaning the shelf and saw the cash there. I "accidently" brushed it into my bag and when I went to throw the bag out, I fished out the cash and got lunch when it was time. But back on topic, we never really had problems with piles of coupons left that much.
We find them laying around the tables in the bakery too and depending on my mood i either leave them there or throw them away. It gets annoying when you're trying to set your table and people leave them there.

wow i've never seen someone tape the coupons to things lol
I worked through the age of extreme couponing. I frequently work self checkout, so couponing just fills me with unbridled rage.
If I see a coupon on the shelf, I take it and throw it away.
If there's a pad of coupons on a display, I'll pull it off and throw it away if if no one is looking.
Every now and then, I'll even pick coupons off of products just so I can throw them away.
A couple times, couponers have forgotten bags or binders of coupons. A couple times, I threw those away too. Those are some of my fondest Kroger memories.
