So, I was at the Still Creek McD's this evening planning to get a $20.00 gift card for a co-worker. Before I get to the cashier, I see this 40ish Asian lady with a wad of Big Mac vouchers. Up to this point, I wasn't sure that this location offered the vouchers, but seeing the Asian lady with at least a dozen of them, I was relieved. I ask the chick at the counter for a $20.00 gift card. She tells me they only have 5, 10, and 25 dollar gift cards. I'm like what? So I tell her two tens will do just fine. I pay and she tells me to see the older woman for the vouchers. The older lady asks the chick how many gift cards I purchased. I said two, and she proceeds to give me two vouchers. My quick Asian math skills tell me that this is a good deal. I remember the Asian lady with the 1001 vouchers and it all made sense to me. Frick! 5 dollar gift card = one voucher for a Big Mac!
Not being greedy, I only ask for 5 - 5 dollar gift cards. Older lady asks again how many I purchased. I said five and held up the cards. Older lady tells me she has to go into the office to get more vouchers....... yup, you guessed it, she finds out that I purchased 5 dollar gift cards and tells me I can only have one voucher for all of them. Oh well...........
Maybe some of you other frugal shoppers can try to get away with it, LOL.
