Bizarre Argument at Price Chopper

[DiamondLil]

Wow, that woman had some nerve. But I bet a part of you cant wait until you go shopping again with your COO-pons at her store.

Actually I am not wild about Price Chopper to begin with, I just go in and grab a couple of things that are on sale, or when I am desperate.

I prefer Metro for the Air Miles and also the large selection of natural stuff they carry, and Loblaws/NoFrills for the Presidents Choice stuff.

The rest I generally get at Shoppers Drug Mart which carries lots of food too

But yeah, every where I go I make sure I bring my COOpon binder with me

you gave me quite the chuckle and had me thinking...how do i pronounce coupon???? i think i say coo-pon!

[cady]

Colis de tabarnac and sacrament, basically anything to do with the church is a french bad word. The first one is tabernacle and the 2nd sacrement. LOL o.k. so the ones I wrote are pretty tame but have OOmph value and of course if you say them altogether in one swift breath, even better. COMBOS ARE GOOD!

Funny but when someone says CUEpons I cringe kind of like when G.W. Bush would say NUCULAR instead of nuclear. Personally I prefer COUpons and oh by the way en francais c'est coupon aussi. COUpon like KOOLaid

hey Patty, you forgot "Ciboire", "Criss" and "Ostie"!
(wow... I never thought I would write these words on a forum one day!! )

[Bloo]

LOL wow
does this person have a life ? worrying about how others pronounce things?

[jac.queline22]

Wow. Hopefully somebody will tell this girl's supervisor how she's acting, because with an attitude like that she doesn't deserve a job, especially in this economy.

P.S. - It is pronounced COO-pons!

LMAO.. sorry I should not laugh but that is the most ridiculous cashier I have ever heard about... who cares how the word is pronounced? PLUS if you discribed her correctly and the way she talks, she sounds like a redneck hillbilly.

She totally was.

Not that I'm Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile either.

But she was a redneck hillbilly in the most derogatory sense possible.

And I like "country" people too, most of them are honest to a fault, very friendly, down to earth, family oriented people who would do anything for anyone.

Most of them also have manners and wouldn't give two poops how someone pronounced COOpon! LOL

[April07]

LOL.. I am country folk. Hillbillies live in the bush.

[Natalka]

Sacrebleu, what a vache! (ok that's as far as my highschool French will take me!)

Unbelievable - but a note to her manager might be in order...
We say COO-pon, which is the pronunciation preferred, but both are acceptable - audio here

Sorry April.... no offense intended.
There is definitely a distinction between hillbilly and country folk!

Okay seriously everyone if you want a clear picture of this woman, watch Charlize Theron in the movie Monster. Except the cashier's hair was shorter. Otherwise the comparison is uncanny.

I say COO-pon with an Australian accent!

[thecountess]

I love the Aussie accent. It's the best!

Hee .. I am just playing, never took any offense. But I am country folk.

Oh good

I would have just died if you were offended, I meant nothing by it!

You are right though, country folk and hillbillies are not the same and the terms should not be used interchangably!
