The Couponator 37: The Year Of Reckoning
A customer is trying to use a buy-one-get-one-free coupon.
Me: “Sir, you can’t use this coupon.”
Customer: “It’s valid until the fifteenth of October! It’s only October fourth!”
Me: “It expired on the fifteenth of October last year, sir.”
Customer: “Well, it should come back around and be valid again.”
Me: “I’m afraid I already tried to scan it and it’s not working. We do have the same sale happening again this year, though, so I can advise you to go online and get this year’s coupon and—”
Customer: “Oh, I have that, too.”
Me: “Then why did you try to use last year’s?”
Customer: “I didn’t want to waste a perfectly good coupon.”
The customer then fishes out THIS YEAR’S coupon, which works perfectly.
Customer: “Admit it: you underestimated me, didn’t you?”
Me: “Sir, I can honestly say you’re impossible to underestimate.”
Customer: “D*** right!” *Walks out triumphantly*
