I just did this last week. The "stand by" cashier has to come over and do
it for you. You swipe it... it comes up saying something like "does not
compute". The cashier takes it to their station and puts it through for
you. This is the 3rd time I've used a coupon. What a pain!

And yes the quick check is closed most of the time now forcing one to use
the self check. Grrrrrrr!
