Pumps' Perplexities

Every Sunday you open up the newspaper and out
falls one or two sections of grocery coupons.....

Many years ago the food industry tried to stop offering
them.....It costs money to print and process these little
pieces of paper......It would be a great corporate savings...
But, alas, it did not come to pass......

Coupons are still printed, mostly to introduce a new item
or sustain the "market share" of an older one.....With
all the expenses involved in the "coupon world" the
manufacturers are still happy when they get .01% of
the coupons redeemed......Thus keeping employees happy
in some "coupon redemption center" in Texas or
Iowa....Pumps
