When I buy something at the local Woodcraft and they ask if I have any
coupons, I always make sure the owner hears me reply, "Yes, but it says
right here, in small print, 'not valid on anything you'd actually want
to buy,'" just so he gets some customer feedback about how annoying
their "coupons" are. :-)

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that feels that way. It seems like
they email them twice a week too. It occurred to me that listing brands
on the coupons is a form of marketing for the brands that are excluded:
When you read

"Festool products, CNC Shark, Rockwell Jawhorse, Rockwell Blade Runner,
Power Sharpening systems"

twice a week, something is bound to stick. Notice that this list is Not
in alphabetical order, and that the brands are mentioned toward the
beginning of the coupon. Mere coincidence? Ha. I really have no way of
knowing...I'm just sayin'.
