A choosing beggar tried to reinvent the coupon and got the response she deserved

If you’ve ever visited Reddit’s r/ChoosingBeggars forum, you’ll recognise this story as being very much part of that world.

Like anyone with a public-facing job, Faith Thomas – @that.flamingo.lady – the owner of Frozen Flamingo in Texas, has a lot of stories about irritating customers. This one, about a very entitled woman whose understanding of coupons left a lot to be desired, has gone viral.

@that.flamingo.lady She really couldn’t just buy another hot chocolate 🥲 #fyp #smallbusiness #businessowner #customerservice #hotchocolate ♬ original sound – Faith Thomas 🦩

TikTok users were absolutely incensed on Faith’s behalf.

It’s free – the alternative is no hot chocolate. People are ridiculous sometimes.

I once had a boss explain to me, don’t do things for the one person that complains, do things for the 99 that don’t. It stuck with me.

The second person must have been so embarrassed. Or at least I hope so!

When free isn’t free enough.
