It got rejected just an hour ago. I showed it to them, and the manager called the distrct manager, who told him to check their email invoices, and i was printer a copy of the email. I cant scan it since im at work, but i can type the warning. (Scan later)
INVALID INTERNET COUPON
The cupon to the right is not a valid coupon. It has recently been used on the East Coast and here in Texas. Please do not accept these coupons
How to manage customers with the offer:
1. Please tell the customer that the store is not participating in the promotion
2. If pressed, tell the sutomer that we are unable to confirm the authenticity of the coupon promotion at the present time.
-Offer to take the cutomer;s name, phone number and address;
-Tell the sustomer that if we determine that the offer is valid and that the customer is indeed a shareholder of both companies, then we will honor the coupon at a later date.
We recofnize that the rejection of the coupon will bother some customers but we cannot allow the acceptance of wide-spread fraudulent coupons.
All the warning is a white paper with nonchallant words on it. Almost as if the manager typed it up with Word processor and gave it to me. Oh well. But basically every DM has this email.
