    they feel you should be a paying customer like everyone else. I use coupons too! lol. Some workers are just rude retards, ignore em.

    I’ve never found that to be true. They signed up for the coupon deal.

  3. sweetpea says:

    Sometimes the workers are surprised by coupons because management hasn’t trained them about them.

    because they never think that people are actually going to use them! But i do! he he

    Because humans are selfish creatures who’re impressed only by wealth and status, anyone seen to falls short of that mark (even if they’re richer than the individual judging them) is scorned.

    i can guess that the employees might be reminded of the recession and of job security and the fact a coupon is sponsored by their employer. there is no guarantee that the money your business brings in would help them with that. an employer might be using the extra business to pay off bills and all and not care about his/her employees, or worse yet, from their point of view, be setting up to go out of business altogether. this is just a guess, however. not saying u shouldn’t use them. they help keep all of us from going under.

    I know, it’s SO annoying! I went to a fast food restaurant drive-thru the other day, and order 2 of one burder, and 2 of another as part of a deal I had. They weren’t that friendly, overcharged me and gave me the wrong burgers!

    They don’t; at least not anymore. Restaurants especially; they use coupons to get customers in the door. What do they expect that the customer will feel sorry for the restaurant and want to spend more than they have to? If the restaurant can afford to publish coupons to get customers into the restaurant, then why can’t they simply lower the price on the items on their menu?

    The company for that restaurant makes the coupons, but they don’t really tell the owners that they’ve made new ones and sent them out, so they’re probably surprised when a customer uses one.. or at least that’s how it is where I work. So after we serve someone with lots of food and good service, someone giving us a coupon kind of disappoints us.

    No, that is you imagination as store desires coupons as they bring in customers.
    If they did not like them, they would not put them out or accept them.
