25. and coupons are redeemed by the "acceptor" ay face value + a percentage

Nov 2012

so the stores do not lose out..

He may have been upset at the fact that the couponer (I used to do that before it was fashionable...back in the 70's...once got $1100.00 of stuff for about $25 ..made the paper too) cleaned him out of some items and that it may have sent other customers away because stuff they wanted was no longer available.

and he might have been worried that all the couponers would descend on his location and make ordering a nightmare for him..

no matter the reason,. he acted inappropriately.
