To finish off the subject header, I'm jealous of those who are able to simply go to a place that has free food, and get it. I can't ever do it right. When they had a World Series free taco promotion many years ago, I went to get a free taco, and the order taker rung up three, and tried to charge me for two of them. I said I wanted a free taco, not three tacos. The manager told me he heard me say three. I said that I was not heard correctly, and that I only wanted one. He said I needed to pay for two of them. I refused, and left with none.
Flash forward to today, and I went to a different location, and to avoid the debacle I had the last time, I asked for a complimentary taco. She said that would be 2 dollars and 5 cents. I said no, it should be no cost today for Taco Tuesday. Are you not participating? The manager then told me I asked for it the wrong way, and because I didn't say "free", it wasn't going to be complimentary, and I'd need to pay full price for it. Like last time I left.
What in the effing hell, people? Even 1 of these incidents is bad enough.
