ONLY USE ONE $5/$30 COUPON?

I went to the Publix at Cobblestone today and for the first time today was told I couldn't use two $5/$30 WD coupons. My total was just over $60...$61.30 to be exact. He said I could only use a publix coupon and a competitor coupon. That's it.

I told him I would have split my order and he kind of motioned like it was already all rung up. Instead of using two WD coupons I used one and added a $3/$25 Publix coupon.

Is this a sign of things to come? I don't know...but a word to the wise. Ask first and be prepared to split your order
