The Couponator 46: The Rise Of The Mix-Ins
I work at an ice cream place where different flavors are mixed together on a cold marble slab. If you don’t pay attention to prices there and just buy whatever sounds like it tastes good you can get into trouble.
One day this boyfriend/girlfriend couple comes in.
Boyfriend: *To his girlfriend.* “You can have whatever you want.”
She got the “original” size, which is four dollars and comes with one mix-in. Then she gets around six more mix-ins, with fudge on top. And all in a dipped and rolled waffle bowl. He got something really pricey too, though slightly less ridiculous.
They get to the register where I am. My coworker is dictating to me the order as I ring it up.
Me: “That will be $19.”
Boyfriend: “Nah, ring it up again. I got a half-off coupon.”
Me: “First of all, why are you telling me now? Second, this is a buy-one-item-get-another-one-half-off coupon. Thirdly, this coupon is both expired and only valid at the downtown location.”
Boyfriend: “You’re all f****** scam artists! This whole place is a scam! You send out fake coupons to scam us all!”
Through all this, my coworker is still holding the waffle cone.
Me: “You need to pay for the ice cream if you want it.”
At this point, either not wanting to spend $20 or not having come in with $20, he grabs the waffle bowl out of his girlfriend’s hand, spikes it face down on the counter, and says:
Boyfriend: “We don’t want yo s*** anyways.”
He begins to storm out. Apparently, the girlfriend felt differently than him, as me and my coworker got to watch her smack him in the head and yell at him all the way out to his car.
