Coupons That Are Shhhhneaky

Ok now. In my grand experience of being a heavy shopper and also working in retail I have learned that some coupons are the devil. And they're not the plot to take your soul kind of devil, they're the rape your soul out of you devil. Dammit devil coupon, that hurt.

But yeah, let's say I have a "33% off ANY item" coupon for an anonymous store that has the letter T in its name. I want to use this coupon on a $60 video game bringing that game down to $40. I just saved $20, hells yeahs! But oh wait, devil coupon's fine-print-rape-fist is sneaking up on you. And in size 2 font on this tiny 2 x 3 card there is a disclaimer that says, "May not work on video games, video game hardware, video game accessories, electronics, or anything else in the store. Only works on hairspray."

WELL DAMMIT COUPON I DON'T NEED NO EFFIN HAIRSPRAY! (But if I did I could save ~$3 on it. Hot dog!)

But really now. If you're going to say ANY item, it better damn well mean ANY item in the store. Hell that's kind of making a false promise. What if I ripped out some chick's weave and tried to buy that? Would I still get the 33% off? The fine print never said it excluded weaves you ripped off some chick's head.

Much love.
