Free pretzel day SC

[jjc927]

Today at a local mall the pretzel place was giving away free pretzels. They were 1 per person, no exceptions. However, there was one man there with his young son. He got his son a cinnamon sugar pretzel and apparently he didn't like it, so the dad tried to get a different pretzel for him, still free.

SC: Can I get a different pretzel for my son? He didn't like the cinnamon sugar one.
Cashier: I'm sorry sir but it's only one per person. You'll have to pay for a new pretzel if you want to get him another one.
SC: But he didn't like it! He's only a little boy!

This went on back and forth for the entire time I was standing in earshot eating the pretzel I got, and it went so far that another cashier came out of the store stand to make him move along. Free items have strict rules, and as we've seen bring out SCs.

Okay, so he's only a little boy. Why can't his dad buy him another pretzel? We're not talking about a taking out a second mortgage on his fucking house here. If the sorrowful violin music is just too loud, why not reach into his wallet and pull a couple bucks out? How hard is that?

[Kristev]

I'd be very glad if someone gave me a free pretzel. I just love them.

I wish I could get a free cinamon sugar pretzle, those things are soooo yummy

[Slayer]

I guess dad got the same pretzel? I'd have just switched if it was different and used the decision the boy made as a learning experience.

Cinnamon sugar sounds amazing.

Hey, our mall had the same thing today! I guess it was a franchise-wise thing.

But yeah, he could have ponied-up for another pretzel and eaten his son's.

Free pretzels? Is this something that's happening near me? *checks website* OMFG FREE PRETZELS!!! And the mall is still open! Cya!

And yeah, that guy sucked. Either tell the kid to suck it up, or buy him a new one if it's that big a deal.

*bhskittykatt runs to the mall*
ETA: Damn, the promotion ended at 3pm. But I entered online to win a free tshirt. C'mon, free tshirt!

You mean you didn't run to the mall anyway, and scream and yell that you should get your free pretzel, you're entitled to it, cause you didn't find out about it before the ending time?

Hell, this injustice right here entitles you to that free shirt.

Do the pretzels have the name "Whitey Whackers" by any chance?

I watch WAAAAAY too much Simpsons.

I watch WAAAAAY too much Simpsons.

No such thing as too much.

I watch WAAAAAY too much Simpsons.

No such thing as too much.

Rule of thumb: If you're watching more than 24 hours worth per day (requires multiple screens, obviously), then you're watching too much Simpsons. Less than 24 hours worth per day? You're fine.
