I am confused about the coupons. At one point, I was told that they only
needed one coupon. Once they had scanned just one from that coupon book,
you didn't need another one until the next book came out. But that was
several years ago. Now the coupons usually say that they are clipless. I
think the business center is an exception. But I'm not sure because I
didn't use any of those.
