Dear Sir:

Yes, the Bed, Bath & Beyond coupon said "Offer Valid at Any Store", but I think there is an implicit understanding that it means "Offer Valid at Any Bed, Bath & Beyond Store."

No, I don't think Harris Teeter has to honor another retailer's offer.

Yes, they are adjacent, and even share a common entryway off the shopping center parking lot. But they're not the same store.

Cane-waving, accent-having, loudly-yelling, outraged old man — I admire your tenacity. You'd have made a great lawyer.

And thanks for giving me and my cashier a good laugh at the end of a hectic Monday.

Best Regards,
Joe

Reminds me of what I am missing by not living in the DC area. I've lived in metros of Houston, Dallas, Honolulu, and San Francisco, and I swear I've never seen such a great concentration of insane people. Yes, I did leave the army bases in Honolulu and SF.

I can assure you, New York beats DC, hands down. I can't spend a day there without meeting someone loony.

No more comments! Either someone has violated Godwin's Law, I'm tired of the discussion or, most likely, the ten-week window has closed. You can, however, contact me through email.
