For a long time I would have to hand them the coupons to get the
price (hello, I'm a member, see the card? Why do I have to clip
coupons?), then I learned if you gave them one coupon, all the sale
prices would ring up.

Then they finally went to the clipless coupons but you had to
show the book (or your app). Day 1 I asked the cashier Do I
really need to bring my book? No. She just laughed.

Frankly, I think I only brought the book because it had my list
in there and it wouldn't get lost that way. so much for that.

Right? (laugh) Those big stores, I walk in and immediately
forget half the stuff I needed. Hence, the. list.
