Wouldn't it be better to either throw it in (assures customer satisfaction and repeat business) or offer a big discount?
Joann's still gives the discount of 50% on the remaining fabric on the bolt-even if the fabric is on sale-and you can use the coupon because the coupon is taken at the register, not the cutting table. Most of the 40 or 50% coupons are only good on regular priced fabric, but sometimes (like currently) they have a 20% off entire purchase (sale fabric included). I have done it many times, and NEVER buy unless it is on sale, and always use my coupons to get the most discount available. Yesterday I found a couple fabrics with less than 2 yards-I said I wanted only 1 1/4 yd and got the rest at 50% off-it was only on sale for 25% off, but got the better-than 1/2 yard extra at 50% off-then used the 20% off coupon at the register.
That was not my experience reciently. They discounted the end of the bolt but at the register they said my coupon was not vaild because a it applied to regular price merchandise only. The end of bolt yardage was a seperate line of the cutting slip. THey same thing happened with a fabric that had a flaw.. got to the register and could not use the coupon because a discount had been taken. They were not going to budge , I even asked to see the manger since the 15 percent for the flaw was not worth me not being able to use the coupon. Still not able to use the coupon. They told me they would re- do the cutting slip at full price and then I could use the coupon. Very Frustrating.
