At this Rite Aid store, I was told that I had to use the $5/$20 coupon after all of my other coupons. I knew this was not true. Rather than argue, I did what the Rite Aid corporate office suggested when having issues with coupons in stores - to call the corporate office from the store. When I called I was told that I was correct. I then handed the phone to the manager who after listening, told the clerk take all of my coupons. I wish stores would be familiar with their own policy.
