The other day, I walked into a bar during happy hour to meet up with some coworkers. The crowd at the bar was the typical collection of 9-to-5ers looking to blow off some steam, meet up with friends, or go on a casual date.
I saw a young couple at the bar sitting awkwardly far apart from one another, looking nervous, and making indirect eye contact. Clearly, this was a first date.
Before ordering their drinks, I saw the guy take out his phone and show the bartender something, who nodded and walked away to makea drink.
Curious, I got closer to see what was on his phone.
It was a coupon.
Apparently, if you "check in" at the bar, you receive ONE FREE DRINK!
While I am all for free drinks (or free anything, really), I figured it was a universal rule that you cannot use coupons on a date (or at least, not a first date).
If you have a voucher for a free drink that you really want to use, you can:
a) show up early, get the free drink & get your buzz on so you're less nervous when your date arrives
b) USE IT ANOTHER TIME.
