Many people are harassed for being good at what they do, despite it not being illegal.
You can always find the story of the appetite-enlarged person told they are no longer welcome at the all-you-can-eat buffet because the owner doesn't really understand the meaning of "all" and "eat".
Card counters and video poker experts are routinely 'backed off' from Las Vegas casinos because they are "too good".
Then there's those who make a living combing through the 30,000 pages of the US tax code, looking for the loopholes that Senators, Representatives and regulation writers advertently or inadvertently put in, taking full advantage for themselves or their clients.
Now, in these hardscrabble times, a new scofflaw has arisen. Beyond job-killing taxes, beyond onerous regulations, there is another dangerous threat to corporate profits:
The habitual coupon user (Gasp!)
A Georgia woman says she's miffed at the manager of her local Kroger grocery store who allegedly called her a "habitual coupon user" and refused to take her clippings, MyFoxAtlanta.com reports.
This clever attack on Kroger stores has apparently been going on repeatedly for quite some time, but only of late was it detected and ruthlessly suppressed:
Khadijah Herring said she clips coupons with her children at least once a week, adding that her family of 10 relies heavily on discounts to make ends meet.
She said she was trying to redeem some of those vouchers last Friday morning at a Kroger store near her home in Hampton, Ga., about 30 miles south of Atlanta. But the manager allegedly denied her the discounts at the checkout.
"He walks up to me and his only words are, 'I'm not taking those,'" Herring said.
The shopper claimed that when she asked why, the manager replied, "Because you're a habitual coupon user."
Imagine how many coupons a family of ten might be able to use! Imagine the incredible dip in Kroger's profit margin every time this woman walks in.
This danger to interstate commerce must be stopped! Now! Congress should immediately pass a law making it a federal crime to be a "habitual coupon user". After all, what would happen if masses of people were to cross state lines to use the 188 coupons worth up to $240 currently advertised on their website? Why, unemployment might reach the unprecedented height of 9%!
Call your Congressperson now and demand that they put a stop to the habitual coupon users.
