Yes I Can. But I'm Not Going To.

Since November I've been working a second job as a cashier at a department store.  The company I work for has a pretty nice policy, which empowers employees to do things, like reduce prices or honor out-of-date coupons, without having to check with a manager.  It's pretty nice, and I end up using it way more than I ever predicted I would.

So if you come through my line, and your shirt rings up at $19.99, but the rack you got it off of was marked $13.99, just tell me.  I will knock 6 bucks off the price of the shirt.

If you forgot to use your StoreBucks and they're expired, bring them in anyway.  I can look them up to make sure they haven't already been redeemed, and then I'll give you the discount. 

If you thought your $10 coupon, and your 15% savings pass were good starting today, and you go shopping and buy stuff you are obviously only getting because you have the coupon, and you would never pay full price for them, that's OK.   Then when you get to my register and I tell you that the coupon & savings pass aren't actually good until tomorrow, I'll go ahead and give you the discount anyway.

However.

If you bring me your $10 coupon that isn't good until tomorrow, and I take it from you and unfold it to show you the effective dates, and then I can't unfold it because YOU HAVE FOLDED CHEWED-UP GUM INTO IT...

Forget it.

HA! A very fair and valid policy, I say.

 

You've got to describe the jack wagon who did that.
