I love reading this thread. Haven't posted because I couldn't really remember many stories. I remember one now when I was working at a party supply store.
I was ringing up this couple and at the end they handed me a coupon for 20% off a $50 purchase. Their total was something like $49.xx + tax. I explain that they had to make a $50 purchase for the coupon to work and that it excludes tax. (They saw on the register that they owed $50, so they thought they could use the coupon) With a heavy German(i think) accent, they were like "No, take 20% off. We spent $50" I'm like no you didn't. The only reason why you owe $50 is because of sales tax which every retailer in the state is required to charge/pay. The sale is for the $49 in merchandise. They wouldn't have it. They could have easily bought a pack of candy and solved the whole problem. They never questioned why, they just demanded. Eventually a manager overrode the system and gave them the 20% off, which I guess isn't a big deal over >$1. But a lot of people don't read their coupons correctly.
