Top Text: COUPON SAYS TAKE $20 OFF
Bottom Text: CUSTOMER IS CONFUSED/ANGRY WHEN THEY CAN’T USE IT ON A $14 PURCHASE
This happens more than you would think. Our customers frequently come in with $10, $15, or $20 off coupons that they get for being a part of rewards credit card program. I’ve had so many come to my register and act all confused when I tell them, “No, you can’t take $20 off of a $13 purchase.” Some of them even get angry, claiming that our coupon system is confusing, etcetera, etcetera.
Um, no. Maybe if you actually read the coupon (or you were capable of doing simple math) we wouldn’t encounter this problem.
I like to blame about 85% of all coupon issues on that DAMNED EXTREME COUPONING SHOW. Seriously, in the show they lead people to believe that all stores actually give YOU cash if your coupon exceeds the price. Customers in that show are always like “LOL I got $800 worth of groceries free AND now they’re handing me $200, teehee!”
It really pisses me off. If that show hasn’t been cancelled yet it really needs to be. I’ll bet they film it in a tax-free state too. That’s another thing that confuses customers - the sales tax fee. NO IT ISNT FREE. NOTHING IS FREE IN LIFE. :|
Making Mudscamps
jamiefetch:
I have a friend who enjoys sewing these little dragon creatures from the Homestuck series called scalemates. Eventually it inspired me enough to try my own hand at sewing, even though I’m terrible. I wanted to pick something that would be easy to make over and over again for practice, and that’s when I decided on mudscamps.
Mudscamps are little guys from a recent episode of Adventure Time. They’re multicolored and appear to have squishy fish bodies and walk around in the mud on little legs. I can only assume they’re supposed to be similar to mudskippers.
Here’s what I’ve come up with so far. I really like them as a collection, but they do look kind of weird individually. I’d like to start making each one more personalized and give them to friends. My only fear is that these guys will be connected to Darwinism fish by people who haven’t seen them on the show. The last thing I want is for people to think I’m trying to make some kind of political or religious statement with a bunch of poorly-made plush toys!

All…6 of you.
