So I get this Birthday coupon in the email from Einstein Brothers Bagles, I print it out with the hope of stopping in on my walk into work in the morning. A free breakfast sandwich with the purchase of a drink.
On the morning I make it in I showed it to one lady and she responds, "Oh yeah no problem, order your sandwich here and your drink at the register." So I order my sandwich, bacon, egg and cheddar on an Everything bagle and move up to the register to order my chai.
I hand the girl at the register my coupon too and in a whiney-sigh calls for the manager. The manager comes to the counter and proceeds to tell me that they are a franchise and do not accept corporate coupons.
HUH?!
To which I replied, slightly annoyed, "F*ck it I just ordered the sandwich give me my chai and I'll pay." ...$9....it hit a bit hard for breakfast since I was only looking to spend $4-$5.
Well back at my office I can say that I did enjoy my breakfast sandwich and my chai. Would I go back? Yes, but the next time my mind set will be different and I would be there with the intent of spending $9 for breakfast/brunch.
