So I took my wife to dinner tonight up at Mortons off of W. Trade in the beautiful uptown of Charlotte. I went on their website today to confirm resrevation times and I saw this Mortons Three Course Dinner Special. For $109 you get two salads, two fillet's, choice of a seafood (I had the crab cake and wife had the shrimp alexander), two veggies, and desert. I never use coupons or take advantage of these specials because, to be honest, I find it a little embarrassing. Flame me if you want, but I'm not a coupon guy. Well, I popped my cherry tonight and used the coupon and to be honest, it wasn't as bad as I thought. Nobody laughed but I was extra careful on how I presented the coupon.

So do you guys break out the coupons at dinner very often?

By the way, I had the Sierra Nevada "Torpedo" IPA and it is delish at 7.2% alchohol. Also, I believe Charles Godfrey was at the table next to me but I don't jock sniff DBs so I can't confirm.

I use them all the time. Typically I say something like "Hey der, I got dis here coopun that gives me one Hardees double cheese for free when I purchase one. I'd like to redeem this here offer at this time."

and they do it?

I'll fling down the coupon, but always tip well on what the total would have been pre coupon. Especially if the coupon is cheerfully accepted.

man, I'll use a coupon quick. Forget embarrassing, I want that extra 35 cents.

But if I eat out, I'll go to restaurant.com and get a $25 gift certificate for $2 when they have specials.

I just say- I have a coupon.

Don't really care what they think or how they react as long as they honor it.

We use coupons all the time, www.restaurant.com is a good site to find some.

I rarely if ever use them, I know how it felt back in the day to know that you weren't going to get a good tip for the amount of work provided.

fug coupons I eat and dash.

I pregamed the other weekend with a sixer of Torpedo. It was a short night.

I have no problem with using coupons...

i was going into a chick-fil-a one time with a coupon but a bummed asked me for some change so he got a free chicken sandwich instead.

If you use coupons from restaurant.com, a 25% gratuity (of the nondiscounted total) is automatically added.
I'm not about screwing over a server. But I am about getting a $80 tab down to as little as possible.

But my wife is me to the 425345234th power. She'll go shopping and get 8 pairs of shoes, 4 purses, 5 formal dresses, some jackets, make-up and groceries for a month and only spend about $12. She is the epitome of bargain shopping.

Of course use them. They send them out to drum up business. They know a coupon will entice a customer to come to their establishment when given a choice. Just tip as if you never had the coupon.

I'm like South, but my wife is getting me used to using them, I also use Dividend Miles dining so I get a few miles when I eat at some different places.
