Freshco/Sobey's not honouring free product coupon?
Just got back from Freshco at Bathurst and Steeles, and tried to redeem a free product coupon for a tub of yogurt. The coupon was an original, glossy coupon sent to me directly from the manufacturer.
The cashier calls over the manager, and the manager takes a look a the coupon and informs me that the received a memo from Sobey's head office stating that the company is no longer accepting free product coupons. They will only honour it if I buy one of the same product first (essentially,turning it into a BOGO free coupon).
This makes no sense to me, and needless to say, I took my coupon back and told them I'd redeem it elsewhere.
Anyone else experience this recently. Btw, I bought a bunch of other groceries too...about $25 worth...I didn't just try to redeem a tub of yogurt.
