I was in another freakin time-zone and on my way to a game convention when I stopped at a grocery store for supplies. This was one of those places where you needed an established account to get the advertised sale prices*. The cashier, a woman of about 50, asked for my account number and when I told her I didn't have one because I live 2,000 miles away from this chain of stores, she just asked me for my phone number because she could look me up by phone number.
Wow......ok. I replied "867-5309."
The bagger, a young man in his early 20's with Down's starts laughing....he gets it.
The cashier? Not a clue.....just asks me "what area code". I tell her "whatever area code we're in right now". She's clearly confused, but types it in as I suggest...
Of course the "code" works.....
....it always works. Anytime you need a phone number for some savings, try Jenny's Number....it ALWAYS works. There is always that one guy.
*If you make me sign up for an account to get coupons and sale prices basically so you can get me to pay via marketing information, just know I'll be a gay 68 year-old Jewish black woman with 12 children and an annual income of roughly $750k.....and I'll fill in every other demographic just as poorly.
