Main comic (single panel):

A store employee (woman with brown hair, seen from behind/side) stands at a counter facing an angry customer (a man with orange/red hair in a green shirt). On the wall behind them is a sign reading: "WE ACCEPT ALL COMPETITOR COUPONS".

Employee: "I REALLY DON'T THINK THIS QUALIFIES, SIR."

Customer (pointing at the sign): "HEY, ARE YOU GONNA HONOR YOUR POLICY, OR DO I HAVE TO SEE YOUR SUPERVISOR?!"

Below the panel, the coupon in question is shown — a pink/red card with handwritten text:
"HAPPY VALENTINE'S!
This coupon good for one roll in the hay!
love,
Cynthia"

Votey:

A close-up of a man's face looking unimpressed/displeased, with a speech bubble.
Man: "Worst Arby's ever."

Single-panel comic set at a store counter. A brown-haired employee faces an angry orange-haired man in a green shirt who points at a wall sign reading "WE ACCEPT ALL COMPETITOR COUPONS." The employee says, "I really don't think this qualifies, sir," and the man demands, "Hey, are you gonna honor your policy, or do I have to see your supervisor?!" Below the panel, the coupon he's trying to redeem is shown: a pink Valentine's card handwritten with "Happy Valentine's! This coupon good for one roll in the hay! love, Cynthia" — a romantic come-on he is trying to cash in at a store. Votey aftercomic: a close-up of an unimpressed man's face with a speech bubble reading "Worst Arby's ever," recasting the scene as a disappointing fast-food visit.
