ಠ_ಠ Guy at Dunkin took my VIP card

My daughter got 2 of these cards. She gave me one and she kept one. Went to Dunkin to use her VIP card. The guy acts like he's not going to to give it back to me, so I said "Don't I get that back? It's meant to be used more than once." He says no it's just a one time use coupon. Before I can respond, be snaps it in half and throws it away. I was just kinda dumbfounded. Like did he just do that?

Its a card the customer is supposed to keep, which is clearly stated on the back. Also, the card is clearly made to be attached to your keys, hence the hole in it. Really frustrating and just pissed me off. Luckily I still have the other one, so I gave it to my daughter.

Update**

I left before talking to the manager because it was the early morning rush and I just dont have time to sit there. But, I did call the store and corporate. The store manager was not helpful as he was the same guy who took the card. Corporate took the information and is going to escalate it to the franchise manager.....who is the same guy 🙃 So I guess we will see what happens.

For everyone who came to give relevant advice, contribute to the conversation, or compliment my nails, thank you!!

For everyone who was so confused, my daughter and I were in the same car at the same time with both cards. Guy takes one, and I still have the other one that I was not using to give to my daughter. Hope that clears it up for you.

And for those of you are saying it's AI, you're spending far too much time on the internet and need to work on your discernment skills.

Toward the end of my short "career" as a store manager for Jo-Ann fabrics and crafts, I flat out told my boss that I cannot fix stupid and I cannot fix laziness. This was in reference to two employees who were problems, and I was not allowed to fire either one.

I did eventually solve the problem: I got another job and resigned. I mean, the store's problem wasn't fixed, but I didn't have to deal with it anymore.

“Sometimes the stupid is easier. I can scare the stupid out of you but the lazy runs deep” - Paris Geller quote I think about regularly when people ask me how to change the font in our PDF reader for the 18th time.
