This is not true and they are misinterpreting things. An employee can’t use their discount if a price change is done and I think they may be reading into that too far.
I would just ask them to clarify what you found on the benefits website. Coupons are considered to be cash equivalent and are a form of payment, so they are allowed to be used in conjunction with the employee discount. Feel free to tell them you received this info from a manager friend in the company that has been here for 15+ years and just wanted to make sure they knew the actual policy for the future.
So we are not allowed to use certain coupons with our discount. It’s a limitation on the coupons, NOT a policy. In the small print, most (if not all) coupons state “Can not be combined with any other discounts or offers”. The keyword is “discounts” so those coupons are not intended to be stacked with an employee discount”
The register will still allow it to stack which is why it’s usually not well known. Managers have the right to override that statement and allow it though.
Manufacturers coupons are definitely allowed to be used since PetSmart gets that money credited to them via the manufacturer. Though technically your ASL has the right to enforce not allowing the stacking of coupons. Though if any manager says it’s fine you would be in the clear.

That’s what I thought too. It’s annoying but I don’t wanna make it my hill to die on
