Devil Shoppers

Ready for a quiz? Do you actively pursue bargains? Do you return purchases to get the better deal, not once, but twice? Do you only buy items with coupons? If you’ve answered “yes” to one of those questions, watch out. You might be on a store’s naughty list. Marketplace's Jeff Tyler examines a new strategy employed by stores to get devil shoppers out of their aisles.
