No Free Beer.

[Plaidman]

We have a donation thing going on, where if you donate five dollars you get a free two dollar gift certificate. I made a sign that says

Please Donate 1 Dollar for <Donation>,
Donate 5 dollars and get a FREE gift card for <my store>.


During my shift I had a man want some beer, but changed mind, and I swept it to the side near that sign, intending to put it back later when I have time.

Naturally I had one man drool at that beer "Is it true that beer is free??".

ME: ... No.
SC: But the sig-
ME: No it doesnt. Read the whole thing. Not just free.
SC: *reads* Oooooooooooooh.

Where does your sign even mention beer? HOW? How did he get to 'free beer!'?

It's probably just near the beer. Hell, it could be on the other side of a super walmart and all he'd see is 'free' anyway.

You need to put up the classic sign:
"Free Beer Tomorrow"

that's the mistake, putting a sign with the word 'free' in it near anything for sale...
