So this one time, I was at a Gurgaon mall, killing ten minutes before going in to waste two hours of my life watching Ice Age 3 (although I did laugh a fair bit), and we hadn’t had dinner, so I was feeling peckish, so I bought myself a doughnut, eventually picking the blueberry filling over the cinnamon ring, and I went to the register to hand over my 35 bucks to pay, and the guy at the register pointed out their summer special offer, which meant that I could get that selfsame doughnut (any ‘nut, in fact) PLUS an iced tea (any drink, if nact) for five rupees less, that being to mean 35 bucks for the doughnut alone, but 30 bucks for the doughnut plus tea, that’s the most stupid limited period business plan ever, just give me the drink for free, ye fool, don’t reduce the price of your product AND give me a freebie when I’m perfectly happy to pay full price for the dough in the first.
I didn’t even want the damned tea. I never want iced tea.

Heh. Happened with me once, at Subway. Where the coke+sub was 5 bucks cheaper than the sub alone. So this guy who just wants his sub argues about the same thing for a while, finally takes the combo, and then gives the coke to the guy working there calling it a ‘treat’. Funny, yes.
