It seems as though some of you damned people haven't a clue what a coupon is and how it works. A coupon is a printed certificate usually found in newspapers. This certificate allows you to receive an item for free or at a reduced price. In order to get the discount or freebie you must trade in the printed certificate. If you get the newspaper and find a coupon for twenty cents off your favorite cheese, soup, or whatever, you must take that coupon with you to the grocery market to get the savings. Have you ever tried to buy something at the market that you had a coupon for but forgot the coupon at home? The clerk will look at you as if you are crazy. No matter how much you insist you have a coupon, without trading it in, you pay full price. The same should be true in a restaurant but you scream, holler, and cause a scene, standing firmly on your position that you have the coupon at home and are indeed entitled to the savings. If the manager doesn't give in, you call corporate, getting those gift cards mentioned in a previous issue. How silly is this? It's your responsibility to bring the coupon with you to the restaurant. If you don't, pay full price and shut the hell up, you have no one to blame but yourself.
Speaking of entitlement, why is it that you people seem to think that you are entitled to act like freaks in public? As a result of your self entitlement I feel I am entitled to kick you in the ass when you are acting like one.You aren't entitled to anything except to be treated as you treat others, that's it, everything else in life is earned. There is no reason in the world to not be polite. Even if you encounter a problem there is no reason to be mean and rude and if polite isn't in your vocabulary then at least have the decency to use your manners. The general rule of thumb is that if you would not want your family, friends, or employer to read about your behavior in the newspaper that you clipped the coupon out of that you left at home then don't do it.
Keep chewing America, see ya soon.
