With all the kvetching I'm doing about my current job, we do, once in a while, get some nice stories out of it.
Had a guy come up to me the other day clutching a part of his receipt in one hand. For a week or so, if you spent $100 or more, you got a coupon on your receipt that entitled you to $25 off another $100+ purchase. It was valid only for the first week of November.
Really Great Customer: "Hi! I got one of these the other day, and we've bought everything we need for now. By the time we come back here, this coupon will be void. What I'm wondering ... can I give this to somebody else?"
Me: "Um, sure! We don't ask for proof of ownership. That coupon's valid no matter who hands it in."
RGC: "Great!" And off he went in search of a recipient.
Apparently he found one too: as he was leaving the store a while later, he let me know that he'd found somebody with a cart full of stuff and handed the coupon over to them.
