Jim Bob clipped a coupon from his Springdale newspaper that said "Buy a dozen doughnuts on Sunday, April 9, 2000, get another dozen free." He went to Ralph's Doughnuts, the local outlet of a regional chain of 30 doughnut shops spread across Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Kansas. Ralph's is incorporated in Missouri and has its principal place of business in Kansas City. The ad appeared (for the first and only time) in local papers near all 30 shops. At the Springdale store (and at the other stores) approximately 50 dozen doughnuts are sold each Sunday. The doughnuts looked scrumptious -- creamy, jelly, fruity, powdery, buttery, fudgey, nutty and fluffy. Jim Bob bought a dozen for $3.50 and asked for his free dozen (which he planned to take to his Sunday School class). But in `return` he received a coupon that entitled him to a dozen the next time he came in. The manager refused to honor the coupon "today". The manager stated that corporate headquarters had informed him "to require the customer to `return` on another day to get the free dozen."
