The Great Burger King Scam of 2009

So this time I got to experience the cheapness of my grandmother-in-law first hand.  I stop by her office where my wife helps out some.  When I was there, grandma asked me if I wanted to go to Burger King.  At the same time she begins to pull out a coupon for a free whopper.  I was in a hurry so I said maybe next time.  It was obvious I wasn’t getting out of there without taking the coupon.  So she wrote something down on it and gave it to me and says “Here’s for next time.”  Turns out it wasn’t exactly a coupon.  It was a receipt from Burger King. On the back is a number you call to take a survey…they give you a code that you write on the back and you take it in for free whopper. (They’re $3.09 on the menu).  And the women has a drawer full of these things.  But here’s the best part.  She has only taken the survey once and uses the same code over and over.  Not only that but when you actually go to Burger King (which I did BTW) they give you 2 receipts, one when you pay and one taped to the tray when they give you your food.  Each one has the same coupon on the back.  I’m convinced that this women is a money saving genius.

Oh…and I think she took a to-go box of food from our wedding.
