Hey, Josephine. I heard there’s a sale on rugs over at Kendrick Department Store. Are you interested?

Josephine Pruitt 11:21 a.m.

Hey, Carla. It isn’t actually a sale. I saw the ad earlier and it seems they’re giving out rebates.

Carla Scallot 11:22 a.m.

How does that work? I really need a new rug and I’d love it if you could help me pick one out.

Josephine Pruitt 11:24 a.m.

How it works is that you’re given a coupon for every rug you buy. The coupon states how much the rebate is. Oh, and I’d be happy to come along.

Carla Scallot 11:24 a.m.

Would the value of the coupon differ for every rug? What do you do with it, exactly?

Josephine Pruitt 11:27 a.m.

The rebate might be for a hundred dollars or so. I’m just guessing. But the amount would probably vary. To redeem it, you have to mail it in with your name and address and they’ll send you back a check.

Carla Scallot 11:28 a.m.

I see. That sounds all right. Are you free Thursday afternoon?

Josephine Pruitt 11:30 a.m.

Sure! Just call me after two o’clock.
