Durante las pasadas semanas decenas de cuponistas me han escrito notas comunicándome que no han podido cuponear en Walgreens como de costumbre porque los cupones dicen “Valid Only in the USA”. Al recibir las primeras nota en cuanto a este tema les respondí que probablemente la cajera que les atendió estaba confundida, que fueran a otra tienda. Según fueron pasando los días, el asunto fue complicándose más hasta tal punto que comencé a dudar si la política de Walgreens había cambiado…

Memo_Walgreens this …

Ahora, si realmente solo podemos usar cupones que digan expresamente que son Válidos en Puerto Rico, ¿Por qué los gerentes se niegan a pasar los cupones de Speed Stick y Fabuloso de #HappyNewYou de Colgate si no escanean, sabiendo que es una publicidad genuina de un fabricante reconocido.

No me resta mas que pensar que la cadena de Farmacias Walgreens está discriminando contra el cuponista de nuestra isla…

Cuponista… Si quieres ayudar a que este asunto se resuelva, ayuda enviando esta carta a las oficinas centrales de Walgreens.

To whom it may concern,

It has come to my attention that the local Walgreens Pharmacies in Puerto Rico issued a Memo to their employees that coupons that say “valid in the USA” are not to be accepted. As a loyal Walgreens customer that has used coupons regularly I feel discriminated by this Memo and request a formal response from Headquarters regarding this matter.

Territories have always been a part of the United States. By Act of Congress, the term ‘United States,’ when used in a geographical sense, means “the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands of the United States.” Since political union with the Northern Mariana Islands in 1986, they too are treated as a part of the U.S.An Executive Order in 2007 includes American Samoa as U.S. “geographical extent” duly reflected in U.S. State Department documents.

Why is Walgreens specifically discriminating against the customers in Puerto Rico? We already pay higher prices due to shipping costs and this situation has added insult to injury. Please note CVS, Walmart and other companies accept these coupons and give us the customers no hard times when we do our transactions. For me this is a very serious situation so please provide a response as soon as possible.

Thank You, _______.
