I went into Dicks to purchase a new backpack for my son who is going into high school this year. The advertisement at the store read "RECEIVE A $10.00 CASH BONUS WITH YOU BACKPACK PURCHASE OF $59.99 OR MORE". My son picked out his backpack, which was $75.00 and I inquired as to the $10,00 Cash Bonus. I was told that it was not a Cash Bonus but rather a $10.00 coupon off my next purchase which would be valid a week after my purchase. I asked the Manager on duty who reiterated the same information. I inquired if they realized that the sign was deceptive to the public and was told that "this is just the way it is." To me cash is those little pieces of paper with dead presidents on them. I guess my definition of cash is different than theirs.
