Ok lets say you have this coupon?

Question

It says: Enjoy one BEVERAGE ORDER at 50% off the regular price - maximum discount $5.00

What does that mean to you? its for a coffe shop would it mean half off one of your coffes or half off the entire order up to 5.00?

Answer 1

I can see where you are coming from and this is a "play on words".  That could mean both of what you ask (for up to $5.00) and I guess the bottom line is: "what is the defintion of a drink order"?  

Common sense tells me in this case, it's for one drink, but having said that, a good arguement can be made in that a bunch of drinks ordered together are put on one bill and that is the drink order.

Common sense is the way to go, unless you want to be a jerk in the cafe' and argue the point which you would lose. Management usually and always has the right to make the decisions unless you filed a writ and took it to court for a judge decide.

Answer 2

I agree.  Buy a drink for 10$, then you get your coupon's worth.

Answer 3

It means whatever beverage order you make, you get 50% off the regular price. If you order a $20 beverage order, the maximum discount they give you will be $5. If you order an $8 beverage order you will get $4 off. Hope this is self-explanatory.

Answer 4

I think it means 50% off one beverage, but the company worded it wrong.
