... and that's why she's working in a grocery store.

I just looked up the coupon and it does say "any variety of lettuce." The real irony is that there's a recipe for Caesar salad (with Romaine) attached.

The coupon was probably one of these two variations, both with recipe attached.

When I had some coupons refused once for an asinine reason, I emailed the manufacturer and told them how much I enjoyed their product and appreciated getting their coupons occasionally to use. I also gave them the details of how I was unable to use their coupon to buy their product, including the cashier number on the receipt.

Within a couple days I got a phone call from head office of the supermarket chain where I had been and they apologized and asked me to meet with the store manager. I did, he bought me lunch from the deli, apologized profusely and presented me with a $25 gift certificate from the store.

McMinsen, You are a winner!
you change a bad situation in a very good one!

[cookoo]

i assume english is not her native tongue?
next time take an oxford dictionary to the store, and show her the definition of "romaine."

[annedougherty]

omg too funny!!!!!!!! I admire your ability to remain calm in the situation though. If she had said that to me I would have lost all control and gone off like a bomb lol, starting with "ARE YOU &$%#ING SERIOUS?????" I just know I would have lost my mind lol.The possibilities are endless.

[smartmama]

Thanks everyone for making me laugh! Made it all worthwhile.

[watergirl73]

I can't stop laughing... good thing it wasn't me in line... I can only imagine what would come out of my mouth! lol...

[BookMom]

Thanks for posting this!! You have started my morning out with a great fit of laughter!

Perhaps it is time to initiate a veggie education program for all their cashiers??

[Tweets77]

Oh My @%&! I agree with DaveP....I would have asked the same question!

[tidytaurus]

Alot of cashiers in grocery stores do not have any idea what produce they are putting through. Many years ago when I worked in groc store, cashiers had to go into produce section and "help" for a couple of hours a week just so they could learn the different items the store sold. That was way back when stores asked paper or plastic bags and groceries were actually put into bags for you.

[FallenPixels]

That is just funny

[gyhcr]
