    Font - r/r/MaliciousCompliance Posted by u/Neat_Warthog2633 6 hours ago Give her what she wants SOC I work at a department store that routinely has % off coupons for additional discounts. We also offer a 10% senior discount everyday but the rule is only one percentage off can be applied to your purchase.

    Font - Enter Karen into my checkout line. She has a 40% off coupon and has lots of items to be purchased. After scanning her cart load, I scan her 40% off coupon. She then informs me that she is a senior(obvious) and wants her 10% off also.

    Font - I tell her that only one percentage can be applied. Of course she wants a manager! Manager shows up next to me and tells her the same rule. She becomes irate and demands her senior discount. Manager tells her again only one percentage can be applied. But she is insisting on her senior discount.

    Font - So manager reaches over me and applies the 10% senior discount. She gets the "I got my way" smirk on her face. Then manager removes the 40% off discount from the transaction and lady about loses her mind. "Where's my 40% coupon?"

    Font - Manager said you insisted on your 10% senior discount so I gave it to you. She backtracked pretty quickly and said she wants the 40% instead of the senior discount. I really wish she hadn't noticed and only got the senior discount.

    Font - Equivalent-Salary357 +4 4 hr. ago Her mind was so busy processing "I gotta get my senior discount" that she didn't process what you and manager were saying until she saw the price go up.

    Font - Syniad 2 hr. ago Am I the only one who thinks maybe in this situation the coupons should both apply? It's not two promotional coupons, it's literally the senior discount??

    Font - Silver_Few_94 - 23 min. ago I also work in a department store, and it sucks when there are multiple coupons out at the same time. One specificly for card holders and one for the general public if they know where to find it. They both say extra/additional % off. So many card holders get irritated when we can't take the GP% as well, "it says additional!"
