  • Another Damn Senior Day- January 2010

    Not a whole lot from today. Oh, except from the dry pool diving team member who purchased a Lane Recliner, rolled up in her Toyota Corolla, took one look at the huge box containing the recliner, and told me "I don't think it will fit."

    Wow! How about that? You don't think the chair will fit in your car, and I don't think it will fit in your car either. I guess it is true what they say about great minds thinking alike. Maybe we should both go join MENSA.

    It seems the suck was focusing itself on the service desk today. First there was some guy returning a stereo, or something. He had purchased it with one of those "$10 off an $XX purchase" coupons some time back. Of course, with the return he wanted his "one time only" coupon back.

    I am really starting to question whether it's worth it to give out these coupons. Because every time somebody purchases something, and uses that coupon, and returns part or all of their purchase, they want their coupon back. Every. Single. Fuck. Ing. Time. And often they get it back, because "we're not going to argue with the customer over $10."



    And then there was the woman who bought 10 prescriptions from our pharmacy, and got a $10 off coupon on the bottom of her receipt, because she presented her loyalty card every time.

    Apparently, reading receipts is something she Does Not Do, because if she did she would've noticed that the coupon expires after about a month. So she complained because she couldn't get to the swamp in time because she "lives out in the boonies and has been snowed in."

    Oh please! Try harder next time! This winter hasn't been that bad...yet. The woman then threatened to cut up her loyalty card--oh we're shaking. We've already got all your information on file.

    There was another woman behind the sucky woman, who tried to explain to the sucky woman that it isn't the service desk lady's fault her coupon expired, as coupons sometimes do. I don't think she changed her mind, but I give her mad props for trying anyway.

    I think giving the coupon back isn't that bad of a tactic. You just made sure they buy something else from you instead of getting that replacement stero at another store.

      Then why put "valid one use only" or some such on the coupon then? Oh right, I remember, that's just for the nice people who read things and follow rules.

      I say let 'em go elsewhere for the stereo. The only other option in town here is Wally World, and their stuff is junk and their employees unknowledgeable. Everybody knows this.
