LinkPizza 05/15/19 10:49:35 PM #1:	So, I know many restaurants send out coupons and stuff in the mail to drum up customers. But recently, I noticed something about one restaurant. Its sent me stuff at least twice. And its usually before certain days. The first was a little before Valentines Day. And the other one I got today (not too long be free Fathers Day. Both times, I got two coupons. 25% of on you entire check and $10 off two adult entrees (has to be at least $30, I think. Or that might be the price of two adult entrees.) But both times, it said not valid on those holidays(Valentines and Fathers Day respectively). Do a lot of restaurants do that? But that, I mean send out coupons right before certain holidays, but also telling you to not use them on those holidays. I thought they normally send you coupons specially made for those days... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.

Yeah that'd be my guess tbh. Especially since people would be super hyped, unless they're cautious people or happened to notice it'd be easy to get them that way. Still seems weird since if a place is doing good you'd think they'd be packed on days like that without needing to do such a thing. Seems like a lack of confidence or sign of weakness or something kinda to me. Like do they not think they'll hold up to other places on those holidays that people love to take someone out to eat or what? We don't tend to get coupons for places we'd go for something like that, I think the only coupons we get are for fast food places even. x3 <cite>ChaosAzeroth posted [p:921963275] in A thing ab...
