It is probably the half-eaten part of the story.

She told them that they would not honor the voucher and were not welcomed there anymore. I have to believe my friend as he has no reason to lie about this and is not that kind of person. If so I wonder about this women's business acumen. It doesn't make much sense to me why someone would accuse a customer who returned an item that they purchased that they were trying to rip them off.

Still think someone who knows the manager of McAlister's in Brownwood should contact them about this thread. It has almost 2000 views now.
