They’re Going To Be Fine (Print)

(I’m purchasing a new pair of shoes. I have a $10 off coupon. As I’m handing the coupon to the cashier, I realize the brand of shoes I’m buying are on the coupon’s restriction list.)

Me: “Oh! My bad, I can’t use this on [Brand].”

Cashier: *amazed* Did… did you actually read the fine print?”

Me: “Well, yeah. It’s no big deal, though. I can use it next time.”

Cashier: “I can’t believe someone read the fine print! Just a hunch, but do you work retail?”

Me: “Not currently, but I used to. That’s how I paid for college.”

Cashier: “You know, I’ll go ahead and put this through for you.” *takes the coupon out of my hand and swipes it* “Because you understand!”
