'She was trying to steal': Scammy Karen tries to use a fake '99% off' coupon to swindle the cashier, gets pinched by the cops instead

It seems like we're always getting email promos for 10% off or 20% discounts to our favorite retail stores. Very rarely, you see a 40-50% sale and only when a store is going out of business do you catch anything higher than 75% off. That's why when one cashier spotted a Karen waltzing into their store with a 99% off coupon, they smelled something fishy.
