COUPONS YOU CAN USE
"JUMP TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE"
*Entitles bearer to one jump to head of the line
* valid at supermarkets, banks, motor vehicle registries, music and sporting events and 8:55 pm IN front of redbox
I don’t like this one. The ability to wait patiently in line is a virtue, a sign of maturity for both individuals and societies. There is also, of course, corresponding wisdom in getting there early.
The use of this coupon isn’t compensation for some injustice, such as the one for kicking a politician in the butt, it’s just individual privilege at the expense of everyone else in line.
