A couple comes up to the register with a coupon.
Guy: “I can’t find this item the….uh *consulting the coupon* mini-deluxe habitat. Where is it?”
Me: “It’s either over there on isle 1 by the window or on the rack by the tank.”
*The guy nods and plods off in search of his mini-deluxe habitat.*
Girl: “Why don’t you actually go and help him find it?” *said in the snottiest ‘you’re and idiot’ tone I have ever heard*
* So I walk over and find the item*
Me: “Here it is sir.”
Guy: “That’s not it.”
Me: *pointing to the tag that says mini-deluxe habitat* “The mini-deluxe habitat? I believe it is.”
Guy: “The sku on the coupon isn’t that same. That’s not it.”
Me: “That’s the coupon sku; it’s not the same as the item sku.”
Guy: *with agitation* “The numbers different, and the coupon one is for a kit” *he points at the picture on the coupon which shows the habitat with a Betta and a plant in it.*
Me: “It’s not a kit. They just did that to give people ideas about what they could use it for.”
Guy: *now looking at me like he wants to flay me alive* “Then why did they make it look like a kit in the picture”
Me: “Because it’s a pathetically small plastic cage and that’s the only way they could make it look half-way decent. There are other things you could use the coupon for.”
*at this point the girl comes around the corner*
Girl: *looking at me with anger and distrust* “What’s going on?”
Guy: “He is trying to tell me that this is the cage and it’s not a kit.”
Girl: “Well we can always go to another Petco.” *and then directs a glare at me so I know that she finds me repulsively incompetent*
Me: “Feel free to but the cage will be the same there.”
Guy: “Well can I credit the coupon towards a kit?”
Me: “Can you use it towards another aquarium?” *caught off guard by the request*
Guy: “Yeah can I use it to get what you’re calling the mini-deluxe habitat and then return it and use the credit towards a kit and then pay the difference.”
Me: *thinking* “The mini habitat if returned would get you zero dollars in exchange!! What kind of madness is this?! Sure sir, here’s a blank gift card with the credit of your return the balance is at zero.”
But what I said was:
“No, I am sorry but the coupon is for that tank, it is what it is.”
Guy: “Ok, can you get me a manager.” *cold rage folks*
Girl: “Yeah, seriously.”
Now for all those out there wondering what a Deluxe-Mini Habitat is I present to you, the object of the couples desire and reason for wanting me dead, the Mini-Deluxe Habitat.
I told you it was a piece of crap.

We just got our coupon in the mail for this glorious mini deluxe habitat. And I saw it in the store. It's freaking awesome.
Ok, maybe not.
