rules

Why do some people think rules don't apply to them? I saw a woman at Bed, Bath & Beyond and she had a handful of discount coupons. She had 3 items and pulled out 3 coupons. I heard the cashier say, "We generally only accept one coupon per purchase." If the customer said anything in reply, I didn't hear her. As the cashier just happened to be a manager all 3 coupons were accepted and applied. Not only that, 2 of the coupons had expired. I asked about the expired coupons and was told that they do not expire. Then why put the expiration dates on them?

If those that make the rules don't follow them, then why should the rest of us. I guess rules really were meant to be broken.
