Huey had asked me to be the main photographer for their wedding reception. At first I hesitated because I had no experience in this department and didn’t want to end up with a picture resembling two red-eyed monsters butchering the wedding cake. But when Huey insisted, I relented. So to avert a fiasco, I decided to pick up a book on wedding photography, the book “Digital Wedding Photography” by Paul Gero.
As I stepped into Borders at Bellevue Square to buy the book, Karen equipped me with a 10% off coupon that she was award for being added on Border’s spam list. After handing the book and the coupon to the cashier, she incessantly tried to scan the coupon on a scratched up bar-code scanner, in futility of course. Finally, exasperated, she turned to me and asked, “Do you work out?” I was dumbstruck by this question. Is my physique showing signs of… neglect? Before I had a chance to respond, she continued, “Sure you do.” and scanned another coupon…
20% off for “Fitness Enthusiasts”! This brought up a good question… why didn’t she just scan the 20% coupon in the first place, especially when these coupons are just laying out there?!? How rude!
Anyway, on my way home, I noticed on the receipt that I got both the 20% and the 10%! Hey, what a deal!
hahaha!
