San Diego bans digital-only grocery coupons

[hlthe2b]

1. Krogers-owned King Soopers does a three tiered pricing system that pisses the hell out of me...

Some sale prices are only for "ordered online pickup" rather than purchasing by going directly into the store and picking it up yourself. How is that ethical?

And yes, you have to pay MAJOR attention as to whether sale prices are based on digital coupons or not and that can be a much as a 50% difference when you buy several of the same item. Unbelievable.

I am no Luddite, so this is not more than a real annoyance, but it is not fair--that's for sure.

And don't get me started on how often the registers at self-check out are not correctly programmed with these "specials" and "digital coupon" prices.

That's why I go at 6Am when they open--so that there is no crowd and they are forced to correct these issues.
