We have rules regarding the mark downs and discounted products. I've voiced this before and my coworker has begun to request non mark downable product coupled with fresh items that just arrived in. How do I handle this? I've limited her to like 3-4 produce bags and will only mark down grocery items 10 days before date and perishable 2 days before date. How do I tell her I am no longer interested in helping her penny pinch? It's not fair when the rest of us have to pay full price.

You both can get fired for that. Marking down stuff and setting it aside for employees is not allowed. Marking down stuff that isn't suppose to be marked down can also get you fired. Trust me, with all the counts and scans that have to done, they know if something is being marked down when it's not suppose to be.
I asked our lead on this and he told me if someone is going over board on them to get management involved. I have multiple regulars and I have started saying no I can't give you a whole $8 bag of oranges in one single $149 mark down bag. No you get two. I have a regular coworker who is a bit obnoxious about them and she insists on these daily. She sort of crossed a line when she asked for fresh product in the back. That one even goes too far in my mind. I limit regular customers who pester me about this to 5 bags and the quantity amount on the mark down sheet(s). I'm not risking my job because someone wants to be cheap. It seems to be mostly those of asian cultures that do this. In america we do not price barter sorry.
