Coupon And On And On, Part 7
Customer: “I want two Blizzards. I have a coupon.”
I accept the coupon, ring him up, and tell him the price.
Customer: “No, the price should be $1.99! The coupon is buy one Blizzard for $1.99, get another one for free!”
Me: “No, sir, it’s buy one Blizzard, get another for $1.99.”
Customer: “I am an accountant, and I know how this works! The coupon is buy one Blizzard for $1.99 and get another free!”
This goes back and forth enough times that I realize I am getting nowhere with him.
Me: “Sir, that’s enough. I’m not gonna sell these Blizzards to you for $1.99. You can either follow the rules or you can leave.”
Customer: “I wanna use the coupon!”
Me: “Since you’re not buying anything, you need to leave.”
Customer: “No.”
Me: “If you don’t leave, you’re officially trespassing.”
Customer: “No!”
Me: “You’ve just made this a police matter.”
Customer: “Call ’em, I hope they get here quick!”
When the officer arrives, the customer finally tries to leave. The officer catches him on the way out and makes him chat with her.
Bonus points: The customer’s grandchildren were there. It sucks they couldn’t get their Blizzards, but grandpa didn’t wanna pay for them.
You just know when those kids got home, they told their parents: “Grandpa got arrested at DQ today!”
He wasn’t actually arrested, but boy was he permanently banned.
