A change of pace

On my lunch break today at work,

Okay oops. I just got interrupted. I had a typo on a guy's name when uploading his demo to the internet. His URL and headline both had the typo. I misspelled Jamie as Jaime. Blah! I just got it fixed though. I've been tricking out my laptop with every program that's being used in the office. I got Episode Pro and Dreamweaver today. I also got Fetch and updated my Toast. My little laptop is turning into a killing machine. I bet I'll be reinstalling Final Cut Pro eventually.

So back to my story,
I went over to Quiznos for lunch today. It's right next to the office, and I received a $50 gift card from my aunt for my birthday. I was wanting to try their honey bourbon chicken sandwich upon Shannon's recommendation. I usually order the classic Italian. In fact, I think that might be the only sandwich I've ordered from there. It's that good where I don't feel like taking a chance on anything else. I've already got my routine down. But I decided to stray from the path today and open up my sandwich world.

I also found two coupons for $2 off large subs in the office, and I decided to print my own copies of the coupon. I didn't want to steal someone's coupon. So I scanned them into a computer and printed them out. I was able to fit 3 coupons on a sheet of paper, and I neatly cut them out using the paper cutter. I could've gone the extra mile and scanned both sides of the coupon, but I decided against it since that was just extra wasted work. If I was denied the discount because of my coupons being copies, I would go back and try it the next day with both sides scanned. And with a different employee. It's bound to work sometime... it's just a coupon...

So I ordered my honey bourbon chicken sandwich, and went to check out. The Asian guy at the register told me the sandwich already had a discount, and I couldn't use my coupon. With drink and chips, the sandwich came out to $10! What kind of discount was he talking about I wonder?

I really thought I was going to be denied the $2 off because it was a photocopy and not the original coupon. Surprise, surprise. I couldn't use it at all. I'm going to go back next week and try the same thing with my usual sandwich, a classic Italian. It probably already has a discount too, but it can't hurt to keep trying. I still have $30 left on my gift card, and I might be able to lengthen its lifespan. The only thing I don't think has a "discount" on it is probably the premium steak subs that are like $9.

That's my lunch break story.
The end.
