A COUPONING pro has claimed that employees working at self-checkout stations hate them, but they say they're just saving on groceries.
The deals and discounts guru took to social media to reveal how much money they can save at retailers like CVS, despite misconceptions some people have about avid savers.
In a video on TikTok, super saver and influencer Karla (@karlasavings) showed her 1.2million followers that paying attention to coupons that some stores offer can certainly pay off.
Karla could be seen at the beginning of the clip scanning her items at a self-checkout station, and the total rang up at $56.63.
Before she pulled out the coupons that she would use for the groceries, the influencer quoted a rude comment that she would allegedly hear from store employees.
"I find customers like you annoying," Karla wrote in the on-screen caption as the phrase that she allegedly hears often from store employees.

The couponing pro then quickly pressed a button at the kiosk that applied all of her coupons in seemingly an instant.
Audio from a mid-credits scene in the movie Avengers: Age of Ultron is overlayed where the character of Thanos, played by actor Josh Brolin, says, "Fine, I'll do it myself."
The discounts then rapidly appeared on the kiosk screen, chopping the $56.63 total down to $13.91 in a matter of seconds.
That's $42.72 saved in virtually no time.

Fans were shocked by the result of Karla's couponing abilities, and the video garnered over 300,000 likes.
They quickly took to the comments section to echo the sentiments of the deals influencer on the irritation they allegedly received from store employees at several retailers.
"Some of these cashiers act like the coupon savings are coming out of their own pockets i don't get it," one TikToker wrote.
"When I cashiered I loved helping couponers save."
Another said, "100% this is how I started to coupon. Cashier will always tell me i couldn’t do that but self checkout never says no to me."
"I find people like you to be Super Heroes," a third noted with heart emojis.
Several other cashiers also noted that they love helping people save, so they didn't understand why any employee would be against couponing.
"When I worked at CVS, I used to help this girl with her couponing and would spend 30 mins just scanning any coupons even if she didn’t have the item," an alleged former employee said.
Another wrote, "When I worked at Walgreens I loved couponers. It was fascinating seeing the deals people got."
Rude comments or not, Karla still managed to get deals that saved her serious cash — and CVS isn't the only place shoppers can do it.

Final liquidation sales are underway at Bed Bath & Beyond as the retail giant officially filed for bankruptcy and plans to close all of its remaining locations.
As The U.S. Sun previously reported, The Container Store will also accept Bed Bath & Beyond coupons for a limited time for those who have them.
Customers could save up to 20 percent on items until May 31.
Coupons are valid at any of the retailer’s 97 stores, according to local Boston-based Fox affiliate WFXT.
Not to mention, a post on The Container Store’s Twitter account read: “We’re here for you and your college needs. Welcome to the organization.”
