Gift gaffe
B&N Web Site: What would you like?
Me: I've got a $15 gift card and a $25 gift card.
B&N Web Site: Order over $25 and get free shipping! Hmm? Howzaboutit? It's free.
Me: OK. I'll order these three CDs ... that comes to $42. Sweet. Only $2 on my already-stretched-by-an-unemployed-budget credit card.
B&N Web Site: OK, but there's only one gift card per order.
Me: Hmm. That seems capricious, but OK. I'll drop this item and use the $25 gift card for these two CDs that come to $24. We'll call the $1 acceptable losses by friendly fire.
B&N Web Site: Alright then. Two CDs ... $24 ... that'll be $27 since you haven't met the criterion for free shipping.
Me: Oh, a wise guy! Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo. Nyuk-nyuk. (Cue exit music as I head to a store. Where's my gift card exchange?!?)
