I was out shopping yesterday and was buying some things in a large department store. After I had paid the girl who served me handed me my receipt and also gave me a voucher and she told me that because I'd purchased something in store the voucher was for a promotion in the cafe for a meal, dessert and a drink.
I was very hungry at this point and I wanted to get something to eat anyway so I thought I'd take advantage of this and go to the cafe in store. I should add that at no point did the girl tell me the voucher was for x price, the way she handed it over and talked about it she seemed to imply that it was a special promotion and that the meal, drink and dessert would be free for shopping in store.
So I went to the cafe and chose my meal, sweet and drink and I handed in my voucher to the girl at that till. She then rang it through the till and then she said "that's £5 please". I then politley pointed out that I had given her my voucher to which she said "yes, so that will be £5 please". Again thinking she had misunderstood I told her that I had given her my promotion voucher for my meal, sweet and drink for free.
She then sighed and showed me the promotion voucher and explained that it wasn't free and that it was a meal, sweet and drink for £5. I told her that the other girl had given me it and implied it was for a free offer and I told her that the shop floor staff should make it clear what the offer was.
In the end I left and went somewhere else for lunch instead.
So AIBU to have expected the offer to be made clearer to me?
