Formula Checks Suck
Is it just me or do 90% of cashiers have no idea what a Similac/Enfamil formula check is? I have to explain that it typically needs to be processed as a check, not a coupon. They look all over for the barcode that doesn’t exist and it is clearly a check. They look at me like I have two heads and the floor supervisor also has no clue. Eventually they trust me enough to at least try, as the system says yes/no now (everything is digital). These checks are mailed en masse, so I would assume that a reasonable portion use at least the higher value ones.
I switched the the Similac app, which provides codes/coupons I can use online and at self checkout but still get random straggler checks in the mail.
Is this just in my area or is this everywhere?
