My old high school does this stupid fund-raising thing in which kids can go out and sell discount cards for select stores in our state (called a Saver's Card). I work a small, family-owned restaurant that unfortunately has agreed to participate in the program.
Presenting this card *prior* to ordering entitles you to a HUGE 10% DISCOUNT, which will generally save you a few bucks.
You have no idea of the grief these stupid-ass pieces of plastic cause me.
Example
M= Me
SC = idiot in drive/at register
M: *in drive* "Thanks for stopping, how may I help you?
SC= uhhhhh....blah blah, blahh blah...and that's all.
M: Okay, that'll be $X.XX, please pull around.
SC = I HAVE A SAVER'S CARD, I FORGOT TO TELL YOU!!!!!
It says on the back of these cards that you're supposed to tell me this BEFORE you order, and you are supposed to have the PHYSICAL card with you, not the little sheet of paper it comes with, or the receipt that shows you bought it. I NEED THE CARD!!!!!
Example 2
M= to man at register "hi, can I help you?"
SC= *orders*
M= *recites price*
SC= I've got a saver's card.
M= *sighs* OK, I just need to see it first, then I can re-ring the order with the discount added.
SC= Yeah, I don't have it with me, my wife keeps it with her. She's got one, but I can still use the discount, right *glares at me, as if that'll help*
M= Sorry, sir, but I can't give the discount unless I see the card
SC= FINE! I'll just go eat at *competition*!!!
I also have people use these damned cards on smallest transaction.
Example 3
M: *answers drive through buzzer*
SC: Yeah, I have a saver's card and I want a small vanilla ice cream cone.
She saved a whole 9 cents.
