Restaurant weirdness

Sep 24, 2007 12:18

Peter had this weird run-in with a restaurant owner. First, we called to order ahead for some pizzas (buy one get one free) using a coupon in a book we had purchased through a PTA fundraiser. We were told that they weren't honoring the coupons (OK, this is *not* a chain - why did they put the coupons in there in the first place?) but would give us ( Read more... )

I don't think Peter is the one that's being cheap here. Sheesh.

Ugh... that sounds terrible.

Good golly, Miss Molly! I just love the "we don't honor those coupons" line. Well, then, who does? I'm very leary about purchasing those coupon books just due to the common hassle involved in getting the BOGO or similar advertised. And, just wow. If I had witnessed an employee calling a customer "cheap" - I'd certainly take my business elsewhere. Grrr!

We've never had a problem redeeming our coupons. In fact, the guys at work often go to a lunch place and they'll let us use 2 BOGOF coupons for the 4 of us even though technically it's one per table.

Yes - the book cost $20 and we've gotten at least $12 back so far after only 3 coupons. We eat out too much :)

That's ridiculous. Way to alienate a customer and all their friends!

Wow, what stupidity on the part of the manager, and staff! They definitely don't deserve your future business. Too bad, because it's nice to patronize local businesses but they *do* have to earn your repeat business!
