I recently got a text coupon from one of my favorite neighborhood restaurants. It's a coupon for $15 off any meal.

The expiration date is several weeks away. But there are no restrictions on the coupon. It does not say only one use. It does however say only one per table.

Meals at this restaurant are between 15 and $20 a person. I often eat here alone because it's close to work and I often don't get out until late so no one wants to eat with me. Surprising. Shocking.

Essentially I'm getting a free meal when I use this coupon. How many of you think it is wrong to reuse this coupon? Should it only be used once even though there are no conditions stating that

They will probably take the coupon when you use it

It is the business's responsibility to pick up the coupon when used.
a) it avoids double-use
b) it allows them to track which coupon (promotion) is working

It's a coupon that came as a text message. I already used the coupon once. And they did not delete the text. And there was no code attached to the text. I have the same text that I had before I used it.

These Chicago restaurants love having you sign up for their text clubs. And I happily oh Blige because I get lots of free stuff as a result.

It's Chicago. All the food sucks there. You're getting $15 worth of dog poop for free.

I don't believe that they have no method to tell if the coupon has been used

It's part of those lettuce entertain you restaurant's – they aren't terribly concerned with keeping track because they have such huge profits.

When I used this coupon my last, the waiter looked at my phone, and then subtracted the $15 from the bill total. There was no tracking whatsoever. This is part of their summer scratch off/text email club giveaway.

If someone sent you one text message that said "come over at 8 for dinner" how many times do you think you could show up at 8 for dinner?

Well, the text didn't specify what day or how many times, so......

If you want to be a regular, act like a regular. Don't shite where you eat.

If you often eat there, someone might recognize you. They may not say something the 2nd time, but they probably will anymore than that.
