Note to self, always read the fine print.
So yesterday I noticed an ad & coupon on HF for 25% off. I'm needing a new tool box. So I called the two closest ones, and both were out.
Note: I mentioned the coupon to both of them.
So I called the third one, again mentioning the coupon and telling them what I'm looking for. Great news, they had some in stock. 60 miles away, no, problem. I get down there. Decided to get the 56" X 22" and the top box that goes with it. Plus some other small stuff.
I get to the cashier, and she has the coupon on a paper she keeps by the register. She rings everything up and it's like $1080. I'm a little set back by the price, but she's telling me where to park my truck on the side so they can load it all up.
On my way to the truck, I'm looking at the receipt, and can't find the discount anywhere.
So I go back in and ask the clerk, and she say "It wouldn't let me give you the discount."
Wait, WHAT!!!!!!!! "And you didn't even bother telling me beforehand?"
So the manager comes up and says, "Oh, the coupon can't be used on tool boxes." Then shows me the fine print on the coupon.
Dang it. I was really looking forward to getting those boxes put together today.
