You're too old to play dumb......

Sometimes it feels like we’re gonna be stuck on this “Coupon-Go-Round” forever…..and the stupid things people do to try and get even more of a discount. Please, we’ve heard it all so don’t think you’re being super clever by playing dumb.
“Where would you like to sit?” “Wherever we can get Happy Hour.” “Okay, that would be in the lounge.” So now you’re seated at the bar, and ask what the Happy Hour specials are…..then as you’re looking over the menu, you suddenly remember, “Oh yeah, we’ve got this coupon”…..like it’s an after thought. Bull shit! That thing is burning a hole in your pocket. Everyone knows how coupons work, mostly because its printed on the coupon. “One coupon per table, not to be combined with any other offers.” It’s pretty standard language.

So why do people act surprised when they are told, “You can have Happy Hour prices, OR you can use the coupon, but you can’t have both.” “OH! We didn’t know that!” Yes you did. And you’ve heard the same thing at every restaurant at which you tried to redeem a coupon. Quit trying to bend all the rules! (We’re getting bored with this game.)

Another couple sits at a table and asks if there are any specials tonight. “Yes there is, on Monday’s, if you order two entrees of a certain price, or higher, you can get a bottle of wine for half price.” So they order a bottle of wine. About ten minutes later, they suddenly realize they have a coupon with them…..”Oh gosh, we have this coupon, can we use it?” Again, quit with the innocent dumb act! Do you really think we’re going to fall all over ourselves so you can get your tab down to nothing? “Well, since we already gave you the special on the wine, (which, once done, you think is written in stone) and you seem to have forgotten about your coupon, sure we can do that.” NOT! Then you tell the server to work it out with the owner, you’re sure something can be done. Yes! Something can be done! You can use the coupon or pay full price for the bottle of wine!

QUIT PLAYING DUMB!!!!!! And don’t get mad at us when your stupid little scheme doesn’t work!
