Random Rant on the Pleasures of Working in the Happy Land of Longacre's Dairy Bar

ok...so for the holiday season...Longacre's decided to be nice to the general public. so they sent off a coupon to the pottstown mercury. it was supposed to say "50 cents OFF any 1/2 gallon of ice cream". good ol' pottstown mercury prints a coupon alright. it reads "50 cents any 1/2 gallon of ice cream." of course Longacre's would never stand for that. apparently the newspaper realized its mistake and called the office. they agreed to run the add for free and fix it next week. so now, posted all over longacre's, is a sheet that tells the costumers the real story. so tonight at work, this rather crusty man walks in and brandishes his coupon cut out from the paper. i look up to find that delightful little piece in my face and immediately start to explain. well TRY to explain. right off the bat he tried to tell me that i should give him a half gallon for 50 cents anyway. i told him that it was a misprint on the paper's part and that it was clearly stated in many places around the store. he just continued to give me a hard time. one of my fellow male coworkers stepped up, and the man seemed to back off a little. then a guy from the back stepped in and eventually the guy just left. like didnt even take the 50 cents off. i guess he was soooo sure he could find a way to get his way. i love people! =]
