Opening

I am writing regarding the DISCRIMINATORY enforcement of your coupon policies.

Body

Yes, I am aware that my coupon 'technically' expired 6 weeks ago. However, I would like to point out several important facts: 1. I have been a loyal customer since [YEAR], which should count for SOMETHING 2. The coupon clearly says '20% OFF' and nowhere does it say 'Unless Karen wants to use it after the date' 3. Other stores honor expired coupons all the time 4. I drove 15 minutes to get here specifically for this sale The expiration date is more of a 'guideline' than an actual rule, and any reasonable person would understand that. Your cashier did not understand that, which tells me everything I need to know about your hiring practices.

Closing Demands

I expect the discount to be honored retroactively, plus an additional 10% off for my time and emotional distress.

Sign-off

Still waiting for my discount,
