If there were groups of individuals doing this in numbers as high as twenty, and they wanted to make more than the federal minimum wage (assuming they were using $1 coupons), we would be talking about nearly five THOUSAND purchases per week for just one "group." It's tough to imagine such a volume of returns not showing up on retailers' radars, even if it were distributed over time.
