The Couponator Versus 300

I work in an airline call center.

Caller: “I want to use my $50-off coupon for my ticket.”

Me: “I’m sorry, ma’am, but since the ticket price is less than $300, the coupon isn’t valid. Your ticket is only $220.”

Caller: “What?! That’s crazy! You will let me use this coupon! It’s my right!”

Me: “The only way I can let you use the coupon is to manually increase the ticket price to $300, but after the coupon, it would still be more than the current price of $220.”

Caller: “Do it! I must use my coupon!”

So, I did. She paid $250. The last thing she said before hanging up was:

Caller: “See, I knew you were trying to screw me out of my coupon, and you failed! I got to use it anyway!”
