This was the thinking of an SC I saw at Sears the other day. I went in to buy only two shirts, which was a simple order. However, I had to wait behind this old bag with her coupon that gave her a $20 savings on her purchases. First off, she had dropped a pair of panties, which I picked up and politely told her that she had dropped it. She was fine enough with it, but had then decided she didn't want to buy it. (Makes you wonder if she intended to drop it on the floor?) When the cashier rang up her total, she proceeded to give him this coupon, and her debit card. The following ensued:
C: "Maam, I'm sorry, but you can only use that if you purchase your items with your Sears card. Do you have one?"
SC: "Yes, but I don't want to use it, or I wouldn't be trying to hand you my debit card. Besides, it doesn't say that on here."
C: (Politely takes the coupon, and points it out to her) "In order to use this, you have to use your Sears card."
SC: "Fine. Here is my card." (Then, after the cashier swipes the card....) "Now, here is my debit card. Pay my Sears card with it."
C: "Maam, I can't do that, because you first have to sign your name for the Sears card."
SC: (Getting huffy) "That's ridiculous" (turned to me, then said...) "They always get you some way or the other with these coupons!"
Thankfully, she signed off and went on her way, and we're all in line thinking to ourselves, "Why don't you just pay with the damn Sears card, then pay it off when the damn bill arrives?" Aren't these the people who actually like fine print on everything, but only when it works to their advantage?
