But if you bring a 25% off coupon from a competitor (Sports Authority, Big Five, whatever) and ask the cashier if they will honor it, I have been successful about 95% of the time. In fact, I can only remember one time when the "manager" actually read the fine print and knew a little about fishing gear and failed to honor it. Usually, the high school kid cashier couldn't give a *hit, but they have always told me "I have to ask my manager," who, like I said, 95% of the time will O.K. it. Furthermore, I don't consider or believe that it is a "scam" or a crime because I simply present the coupon and ask if they will honor it. If they do they do, if not, oh well.
