One of the casualties of COVID at my store has been the common coupon ... we no longer accept them.
Most people are relatively fine with it.
Then there was this guy.
Came through with some pop. I don't remember how the subject of coupons came up, but I told him no, we don't accept them at this time.
Sucky: "But ... what happens if they expire?"
I didn't know so asked somebody else. She said that if they expire, unfortunately, they're gone.
Mr. Sucky gets indignant and begins to protest about it. He's got coupons! He wants to use them! He MUST use them!!
Coupons for what, you ask? What desperate necessity is he being denied?
MORE SODA POP.
I admit to occasionally getting to the point of wanting to bitch-slap some customers. Not many, but some.
