Had a lady the other day who asked me if we take competitors coupons.
I replied 'Yes' immediately, and she pulled out a coupon that was so obviously printed off the internet. (How do I know? She had cut off the bottom of the paper, but the top had the internet address where she'd gotten the coupon, and the fact that it was 'Page 1 of 1' kinda tipped me off).
RJ: "Well, yes, but they have to have been in print."
L: "What do you mean? This was 'in print' on the internet."
RJ: "Yes, but we don't take internet coupons." Final word from above, damnit.
L: "So, then, you don't take competitors coupons."
RJ: *sigh* "No, we take competitor coupons so long as they came from the newspaper, we don't take internet coupons because they're horribly easy to: fake; mass produce; and can become invalid in days, as opposed to weeks, not to mention we have no way of checking to see if the competition even accepts those coupons." Give up, I'm beating your chances to a pulp.
L: "So, you don't take competitors coupons?"
RJ: "We take their coupons so long as they came from the paper. Hell, we don't even take our own coupons off the internet."
Lady left, huzzah.
