Guest guest Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 (pls post this quickly) I have FIVE 20% off Rainbow coupons to give to my veggie " friends " I can meet you today anytime from 4-6:00pm. If you're late I can leave it at my friend's door step at 18th Street. I might be at an outdoor movie from 8pm on.. === On Thursday I can be in the area from 10am-2pm The best time to shop is Thursday mornings; after the Wednesday 20% off crowd rush passed. At Rainbow, checkout Lines #2 and #6 is the fastest cause you can choose TWO registers to go to. It's faster than the EXPRESS 12 items or less line. All other registers you can only go to ONE register. == Berkeley, folks, If you ask, I'm sure Berkeley Bowl will eventually stock up on this item. I personally love vegan cheese, but I rather buy an apple than a $10 tub of cheese. This is just my personal preference. I hope the cheese will be more affordable in the near future. email me first, if no response in 10 min, call me winnie 415 990 9861 , Laura Beck <lbeck wrote: > > It's in at Rainbow and selling fast! http://vegansaurus.com/post/188927290/daiya-vegan-cheese-is-now-at-rainbow-groce\ ry-that > > > Laura Beck > Grassroots Organizer > Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine > 5100 Wisconsin Ave., NW, Suite 400 > Washington, DC 20016 > (415) 832-9113 > lbeck > www.pcrm.org > ______ > On Behalf Of karinebrighten [karinebrighten] > Wednesday, September 16, 2009 1:15 AM > > Re: Daiya cheese at Rainbow tomorrow > > <%40>, " liveforpeace2006 " <liveforpeace2006@> wrote: > > > > I know a few of you have been emailing about Daiya Cheese at Rainbow.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Speaking of Rainbow coupons: the coupons don't say " do not copy " or " no photocopies allowed " . So is it legal to photocopy these coupons (even on a color copier)? Any legal eagles on this list care to comment? Ajay PS: I have coupons for myself. I was just thinking about spreading the love. sunny_outdoors wrote: > > > (pls post this quickly) > > I have FIVE 20% off Rainbow coupons to give to my veggie " friends " > > I can meet you today anytime from 4-6:00pm.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Legal or not, I'm not sure that ripping off the only place to buy Daiya cheese within 500 miles of here is in our best interest.We're not talking about one of those supposedly evil "big corporations" here. This is a small, local and very veg-friendly co-op. If we mass-produce their coupons and put them out of business, then we'll all be fighting over the last block of past-the-sell-by-date GMO tofu at Safeway. :-) Just a thought.wpSent from my iPhoneOn Sep 16, 2009, at 11:17 AM, Ajay <ajayboots wrote: Speaking of Rainbow coupons: the coupons don't say "do not copy" or "no photocopies allowed".

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I was asking about the legality of it, not the morality. If you're worried about ripping them off, then I'm sure you won't use more than 1 coupon per month, since that's what theoretically each person should have (1 per phonebook, 1 phonebook per dwelling). But like many others, I raided the phonebooks of neighbors who threw them out for the Rainbow coupons.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Actually, I never use any of the coupons. If I did, as you say, I wouldn't use them more often than Rainbow intended. I also wouldn't go there with a truck in the middle of the night, smash a window and carry out as much as I could before the cops arrived (even if I could get away with it). But that's just me. I wasn't making a moral argument, though. I was making a practical one. If you put Rainbow out of business, we WON'T HAVE RAINBOW any more. See how that works? It has nothing to do with what is legal or what is moral, but what is in our mutual best interest. Even if you don't put them out of business but you force them to raise their prices to cover the losses your counterfeit coupons are creating, everyone in the community will be forced to pay more because you didn't want to pay your share. wp On Sep 16, 2009, at 5:49 PM, Ajay wrote: > I was asking about the legality of it, not the morality. > If you're worried about ripping them off, then I'm sure > you won't use more than 1 coupon per month, since that's > what theoretically each person should have (1 per phonebook, > 1 phonebook per dwelling).

Rainbow is a robust, healthy business that can afford to swallow some loss. What it would do, however, is create bad will at Rainbow, and they would respond by clamping down or canceling the coupon program. That's a bad option for their lower income shoppers who rely on coupon days. Also, the idea of doing anything to rip off Rainbow fills me with revulsion down to my very core. They are truly one of the few businesses out there that does everything right or would die trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 People, I'm not talking about ripping anybody off. Nor am I talking about stealing. Least of all, at Rainbow, where I shop regularly. It was a question of legality. For example: legally, gift cards can't expire in California. So even if the merchant says that the gift card expired, you are within your rights, as a resident of California, to use an expired gift card. Take a look at the Rainbow coupons. It doesn't saw " copies are not allowed " . Most other coupons will explicitly say that copying is not allowed. So naturally, the question arises. If it is **legal** to make a copy of the coupon, then the question of counterfeiting does not arise, since a counterfeit is by definition ILLEGAL. Is that clear? So the question was: is it legal to make copies? If you do not know the answer, please don't waste my time and yours by accusing others of stealing, counterfeiting, etc. Thank you.

The same logic can > easily be used to justify shoplifting, armed robbery, etc. It sounds like you didn't read past the first paragraph of my post! I went on to say that the more likely outcome would be that Rainbow would cancel their coupon program, which would be bad for everyone, and I ended the post by pointing out that it's basically evil to cheat a business like Rainbow. My disagreement was with the idea that Rainbow would go under, which they wouldn't. I think there's a much stronger argument against making fake coupons, which is that it could compel Rainbow to cancel the program. That would be bad for everyone.
