My mother went out to eat with a friend last weekend. The place was kind of expensive, so they brought a coupon. The waitress told them that they weren't accepting the coupon because it was a holiday - Sweetest Day. My mom said, "that's not a holiday!" The waitress replied that it was on the calendar. They left.
Aside from not making it more clear ahead of time that the coupon was not being accepted that day, the waitress should not have blamed my mother for not realizing that it was a holiday. She should have just apologized for it.

"sweetest day" is a corporate "holiday",

you say it's like valentine's day?........that's not a holiday.....i don't recall any special consideration given for working on valentine's day......it's just another pile of sh*t that the retailer's expect you to spend money on......as far as the sentiments expressed on valentine's day, one should be expressing them EVERY day.....
still, i have 6 calendars in my office.......not ONE says anything about sweetest day last weekend.......however, google lead me here: http://www.holidayorigins.com/html/sweetest_day.html
i'd bet you it isn't on the waitress worker's union calendar either........
Absolutely correct, the waitress should have apologized to your mom regarding the coupon deal.....with that kinda crap, the coupon would float into the trash can and i would elect other places to eat....
