    Can I Use Yours When You're Done With It?

    This will not be a gross thread, I promise. Cross my Nobody existance and hope to die.

    Two sightings within 23 hours of each other...I must be good! Or cursed...

    I finally finished my Xmas shopping yesterday, at BB&B, and had a 20% coupon I intended to use. It was, believe it or not, pretty slow yesterday. One register was open, and it was me and another woman.

    As I'm paying for my things I pass over the coupon to the cashier. The lady behind me lights up.

    Playas:

    Me: A-durr.
    WCB: Whiny Coupon Bitch
    C: Cashier

    WCB: Oh, you've got that coupon! Can I use it? I left mine at home.
    Me: Sorry, it's kind of late now. I've already given it.
    WCB: But can I use it when you're done?
    Me:....no....
    C:...I'm...pretty sure coupons don't work that way...
    WCB: But I forgot mine at home! Can I just use yours?
    Me: Then what am I supposed to use?
    WCB: I think you can afford to be without one.

    Let me pause here to say I had two things with me in the line: chocolate covered pretzels, and a spoon rest that clips to a pot handle. She had one thing: a tablecloth that had already been marked down by 25%. I did mental math in my head; hers was cheaper than mine by a whole $2.

    Me: I don't think you really have a say in that matter.
    WCB: I said I NEED that coupon. I DEMAND you give it to me.

    Cashier has now handed me my receipt and change. My stuff's all bagged up.

    Me: *trying to hide the grin that tugged at my lips* Sorry, but that coupon's entered the point of no return now.
    WCB: Fine. Be happy; you've just ruined Christmas. And YOU *pointing at the cashier* have just lost a customer for not forcing her to give me that coupon.

    She drops the tablecloth and storms out, stomping right past a stack of flyers, all with the same coupon she insisted I give her printed on the back...

    That makes, what, 3? 4 Christmases I've ruined while off the clock? Go me! *victory punch*

      I am so glad it's not just me that gets random people coming up and demanding I give them stuff! I know your pain Nash.

          Aw shucks. You acted so normal. And here I was hoping you'd start laughing loud and heartily for a few minutes just to embaress her.

          I know that sounds silly, but the image of you laughing loud and heartily really brightened my mood.

            That woman most certainly needed a victory punch.

            Lesses here... I can have to audacity as the cashier to force a paying customer to give up their coupon or let you walk out and lose a sale... hmm tough choice there. The sense of entitlement some people have never ceases to amaze me.

              ooo the responses that come to mind.... most of which i shouldn't really print here...

              still, they're all along the lines of "get lost", "screw you" or just laughing my ass off at her. Especially after the "ruined christmas" comment. ... tho in a case like this... laughing would probably be the most fun... and most likely to set her off (which would mean even more fun and laughter).

              now sure, my mom loves giving out her coupons that she can't use.. but yeah, no one's been stupid enough to DEMAND them from her, let alone demand the one's she's using.

                I'm starting to wish I got more sightings. This was funny.

                  I would have a really hard time not laughing at her..
                  In fact, I guarantee that I probably would have laughed, a lot, and loudly in her face

                    My response would be something to the effect of:

                    "You fail. No one cares if your christmas is ruined. Go home, grab your coupon, some maturity and accountability and maybe if you're lucky enough, you can have a decent christmas. You are the weakest link, goodbye!"
