  • Pizza Chronicles: The Coupon Savage

    So I am the manager in a pizza place, like most pizza restaurants we have coupons available both online or in store for customers to enjoy. All our coupons like most places have restrictions like "one per customer per order".. and expiry's...etc. This happens weekly but rarely to I encounter these gems.

    **phone rings**
    <me> Hello (resturant name, location) how can I help you?
    <Sir coupon> Pizza.
    <me> Okay, would you like to place an order today?
    <Sir coupon> Yes, I would like a large pizza with pepperoni,bacon,mushroom,green pepper,onion,tomato, spinach, italian sausage and hambuger meat.
    <me> *** thinking jesus what a nasty pizza combination***
    <me> Is that all for today?
    <sir coupon> I would like a garlic bread with cheese, and a bottle of Pepsi
    <me> Okay sir can I get your name please?
    <sir coupon> (name)
    <me> Thank you, your total is $32.70
    <sir coupon> Woah thats expensive, I have coupons I would like to redeem.
    <me> Sure thing, just bring what coupon you want when you come in, you're order will be approximately 30 minutes thank you.
    **** 35 minutes later sir coupons shows up ****
    <me> Hello sir picking up?
    <sir coupons> Yes for (name)
    <me> ** grabs order to register **
    <sir coupons> ** pulls out 3 coupons... Lg 4 topping coupon... garlic bread coupon... bottle of soft drink coupon...***
    <sir coupons> I want to use all of these.
    <me> Im sorry sir but these coupons are one per person and you cannot combine with other coupons. Sorry.
    <sir coupon> You didnt tell me that on the phone.
    <me> I am sorry sir but the terms are on the coupons, we can't do nothing about it.
    <Sir coupon> No. No, you didnt tell me that on the phone I dont care what the coupon says.
    <me> I am sorry sir but you wont be able to use more than one coupon, I dont make the rules sir.
    <sir coupon> No you're going to let me use every one of these coupons. I told you I had coupons and you didnt say anything about that.
    <me> I am sorry sir but I dont need to, it is your responsibility to read the terms on the coupon.
    <sir coupon> Okay if you wont, Ill go over your head and make you. I want a manager.
    <me> I am the manager.
    <sir coupon> I want to speak to your superior, NOW. Im not leaving till I redeem my coupons.
    <me> No sir you can speak to me. If you wish to contact the owner leave your name and number and Ill sent it to the owner.
    <sir coupon> This is the worst customer service, your a joke. Get a real job.
    <me> I am sorry sir but if you dont calm down you're going to have to leave.
    <sir coupon> What the f**k are you going to do about it?
    <me> Ill have you trespassed and arrested, and if you get physical Ive been boxing for 7 years and i am positive beyond a reasonable doubt I can handle this situation
    <sir coupon> Ill sue the fucking shit out of this place and you if you touch me.
    <me> Sir please leave the property or ill call the police.
    <sir coupon> I am never coming back, i am telling everyone about this place and they'll know how horrible you are to your customers.
    <me> Okay have a good night sir and learn how to read.

    This guy leave and writes a nasty yelp review, how typical. Called the owner, he laughed at this joke of a person.

    welcome to the wonderful world of fast food.

    You should see what some people do when they order on-line and try and use more than one or two coupons.

    SO SORRY the system is set up that way for a reason. EVEN my cheap-ass franchise wants to make money somehow. NO you can not coupon your order down to ZERO easily.

        That "get a real job" crack is what angers me. If it wasn't real, the money in your bank account wouldn't be real. What a jerk.

          If we all went out and got "real jobs" idiots like him would starve.

          Wait a minute... I'm sure there's supposed to be a downside to this argument?

            You know, I don't live in the U.S. anymore, but I'd never bother with Yelp to decide on a good location or not. It's simply been far too abused by sucktomers to whinge about the fact that the employees actually followed policies and didn't let the idiots get away with murder.

                Lol, I remember idiots like that from my time working at the pizza place. The owner often worked in the shop in the evening on weekends, cuz it would get really busy and it helped to have another person to answer the phones and serve walk-ins. One time I remember, this woman pitched a fit cuz she couldn't combine two offers; the combie where you got one large pizza, a drink and a side for £12.99 and the BOGOF. The owner was serving her and she snapped "Get me a manager" when he told her this. He told her that the manager was off sick. "Well then, I want to see the owner," she replied. The look on her face when he told her he was the owner was priceless.

                        Oh! Well, if you don't care what the coupons say, then of course I'll let you use all of them! That will be one cent off the 4-topping (plus $X.xx for the extra toppings), the garlic bread will require you to purchase a medium 10-topping to get the bread for free, and the soda coupon is a 12-ounce can for the price of a 2-liter bottle!

                        What was that? That's not what the coupons say? Huh, I thought you didn't care what the coupons say. If you in fact do care, then we will both care... about every word on the coupon. That's only fair, right? Now read with me "one coupon per customer, per order; not to be used in combination with any other coupon or discount".

                        Yes, that's what I thought. Pick your poison and pay for your damned order.

                            Any job.... Not just retail. I work in a vet clinic. I can:

                            a) take too long and tell them too much about Problem X with their pet;
                            b) fail to tell them enough
                            c) fail to ask them if they have any more questions
                            d) fail to intuit WTH is lurking in the dark corners of their brains...

                            I have been known to tell people that ESP was not one of the classes I took to get my degree!
