office depot just had their giant post it treasure box on sale. normally $200, but on sale for $30. i got a $10 off a $30 purchase, so i was like, sweet, a giant box of post its for twenty bucks. wouldn't let me use the coupon, so a window popped up asking if i wanted to chat with one of their customer service reps. he tried telling me that because the item was already on sale, i couldn't use the coupon. the ToC of the coupon didn't say anything about not being able to use it for a sale item (well, it specifically excluded break room sale items. but not paper items), so i eventually had to ask to speak to a supervisor. and no, i wasn't a dick about it. the supervisor said they would go ahead and do the discount "as a one time favor", and then said someone would be calling me to get my card info. two hours went by, and i had to call customer service myself. the first rep hung up on me, but the second put the order through. it wasn't in the system, so it probably wouldn't have happened if i hadn't called. it was a one-day only sale, so i would have been pissed lol the sale flagged my card and i couldn't use it for gas or groceries, even though i shop online all the time. so yeah. i don't feel bad i got my $10 off. i think i earned it.
