First it was Barbecue Becky, then it was Permit Patty and now it's Coupon Carl.
Morry Matson, dubbed 'Coupon Carl', was captured on video calling the police on Camilla Hudson at a CVS in Chicago.
The CVS manager claimed that he didn't recognize the coupon that Hudson, 53, was trying to use, prompting him to call authorities.
'It's a female,' Matson is heard telling police as he appears to be 'visibly shaken'.
She said she was trying to use the CVS coupon, which was for a free item related to a health issue, at the store located on 6150 N. Broadway in Chicago.
'I stopped in to make a purchase using a coupon mailed to me by the product manufacturer, as replacement for problematic/defective product.
'The manager [Matson] on duty said that he’d never seen a coupon like the one I had and said that he thought it was fraudulent,' Hudson wrote.
When she asked for his name and title, he 'became agitated and rude'.
According to Hudson, she pulled out her phone to document the incident when Matson ran to the back of the store and slammed a door in her face.
'Meanwhile, the other manager, who’d been helping me initially, came running back to tell me that I’d better leave the store immediately, because he’d called the police,' Hudson wrote.
'Of course, I had ZERO concerns about the police being called. Apparently, they’d hung up on him the first time he called, so he had to call them back a second time, telling the 911 dispatcher that I was harassing them.
'Three tactical unit officers arrived and, after some conversation and documenting their names, badge numbers, etc., I eventually left the store. Needless to say, this is far from over. Life in these United States. Aargh,' Hudson said.
Hudson was later contacted by CVS administrators who apologized to her over the incident.
A CVS corporate spokesman said in a statement to Block Club Chicago that the company has 'begun an investigation and we will take any corrective action that is warranted to prevent it from happening again'.
