Question regarding coupon rules.

[zeeman]

If you have a coupon that says buy 2 entrees and an appetizer get 1 of the entree's for free.

You have a party of 3. 3 entrees were purchased costing $16, $16, & $10. An appetizer was also purchased to meet the condition of coupon.

Which entree should be for free. I got in a big argument with my family. I said common sense tells you the 2nd $16 entree should be free. Everybody else said the restaurant will give you the $10 entree for free. I thought this was ridcolous. Why should a customer be penalized for ording a 3rd entree. I was the only one of 7 people that felt common sense would dictate which entree would be the free entree.

Avoid all questions by putting the $10 entree on a 2nd tab.

Although common sense tells the customer that the expensive entree should be free, the establishment will have some fine print on the coupon saying that the lowest valued entree will be the free one. Just as in retail where they say buy one, get the second half off, they will not take the price of the cheaper shoe and give you 50% off the more expensive one... Just my opinion.

Read the fine print, but usually any coupon will automatically be applied to the lowest price on a bill. In this case, 10$. I agree with Mplastered, insist on putting the 10$ entree on a 2nd bill, avoid the whole situation.
