Lily's After Hours Club

[Mephistophelily]

I am actually a Popcorn Goddess. Call me full-of-meself; but it's true! I work at a movie shoppe and my boss tells me all the time that I'm the ONLY person who makes popcorn a perfect combination of white and yellow and a golden inside. Apparently I make it super big and fluffy too. He's asked me more than once what my secret is..


My secret:

1/2 cup kernels
4 squirts of fake-butter
a pinch of Flavorcol ( a butter/salt combo)

and a industrial popcorn machine.

Make me poppycorn, sis.

I got denied a 25 cent coupon for the boy's choco milk because it was a day over.

Depending on the state most do have laws on what coupons are. Some require you to have the exact amount of items the coupon demands (buy one get one free, requires you to have two items, and can not just get half off one). Expiration dates here are mandatory voids, because of the fact that the means of collecting on the coupon is that the coupons are bought back by the companies, so coupons without a date are illegal. Now, that doesn't mean everywhere abides by the law. There is a no double coupon law on the books in Florida, but St. Augustine has stores that allow it.

You'd also have to change the barcode and veri-fi numbers.. Cheating coupons is more trouble then they're worth, and most places won't take manufacturer coupons that don't have the holo-cert on it now anyways.

The states is paranoid. I can get them to take coupons that have VOID written on them in sharpie.

Least if it's only for five bucks.

In Canada, we have more "laxed" laws on coupons, but we don't have the doubling coupon thing out here. I watched that Extreme Couponing show and I was shocked by how many things people can get away with! That shit doesn't fly here. ;-;
But CT's right about the VOID coupons, as long as they aren't expired; they don't care.
As for "more trouble than their worth". I think with a little creativity, you can get away with it:

I'm not suggesting people to do this, but..heh. It does seem to happen. ;-;

From the thank you, and nod. I'm thinking this is more... internal thievery then coupon abuse. One person in the position of the shop, another to hand in the fraud coupon.

You're no fun.

Seriously. I think (most) people on here are more mature and wouldn't do such idiotic behavior. But it does happen as you can clearly see here. Most likely by people in my age group. But; you can't be so quick to judge and "assume" it's internal thievery. Some people are just really... that stupid.

I'm not saying I'm right in any way, but you can't claim what actually went on based on a couple of pictures. You have to take it with a grain of salt. Loosen up a bit, and stop being a white knight. This is Literotica after all. A place to unwind, de-stress from reality and just kick back and be goofy.

I don't understand why you can't let things slide. You sound like CT sometimes. Always serious.


Pish posh, I'm going to shower and get my booty to work. *waves*


( Honestly, don't take what I say seriously or to heart, ok?)

 

[Vail_Indigo]

You wouldn't think a coupon conversation on literotica would go on quite so long...yet, there it is.

*laughs* Heh, I'm actually not as serious as I seem. I would prefer to watch my cartoons and draw pictures of boobs. Actually it's what I did today all considered (new Korra after all), but I'd rather think the world is more greedy then stupid.

Additionally should I stick with having my money on Bioshock, or move it over to Dishonored? Bioshock got pushed back to February, so I'm considering the closer game. I'll eventually want both.

I'm all dirrrrrty.

steps back slowly

 

[Mephistophelily]

The milk coupon wasn't so much the expiring that got me, but the cashier's reaction and resulting tantrum she had over it. "Goddamn extreme coupon assholes tryin' to rip us off and steal all our stock."

It. Was. MILK.
Good lord.

I do admit, I coupon. I save $75 a week. With 2 kids, that's nice.
But I don't shelfclear or overbuy. 3-4 boxes of cereal, 4 bottles speghetti sauce- I use those fairly quickly.
The looks at cashout, though.... You'd think I had 4 carts with me.

Oh yes, that show does seem to have an effect on the opinions of shop workers.. even if it's nigh impossible to shop that.. efficiently in most states. Nigh every shop other then food here refuses using two coupons a purchase. Or if they do, they can't be the same type of coupon (you can stack a store, vendor, and manufacturer's coupon, but not two vendor).
Me and UM spend $50 a week in groceries. And I've had people look at me, and tell me how they'd love to spend 50 bucks on groceries like I eat out every night. But they don't seem to understand that's with two people. Three meals a day, that means we spend $1.19 a meal and she spends a whole day basically checking deals and coupons.
*shrugs*

That.. That was hilarious.
