Me and the hubster were getting off the airport shuttle last night, picking up our car in the remote parking lot. And a man came up to me and said, "Do you have a parking coupon?" And I said, "yes, but I was just looking at it and I don't think I printed the one for indoor parking. But I bet they give me the 3 dollars off anyway." He said, "Did you print an extra?" Hubby said, "No, we didn't."
So we proceed to get in the line. I hear the guy shaking down a bunch of other people for the coupon. And one guy got pissed because he had no idea there were coupons to be had. And one lady told him she just uses her AAA card. It was nuts. So I get to the window and the guy rejected my coupon. I turned to find the obsessed $3.oo coupon craver..and can you believe, he was standing so close to me I stepped on his foot. That dude snatched it out of my hands so quick I think I got a paper burn. And then he thanked me profusely as I left.
I guess $3.00 means more today than it used to. I guess I'm no different than him. But seriously, have you ever been shaken down for a coupon?
FYI, I used my AAA card and got 3.00 off anyway! Whoo Hoo! Promptly spent it on an In-and-Out Burger on the way home! YUM!
