Shit, the ATM isn't working.
That is not convenient in these corona times, when we are all called upon to pay wirelessly as much as possible.
Luckily we have a service subscription with the company with the great slogan: Let's make payment happen!
What an itchy slogan. I can see a marketing agency that has to come up with a catchy slogan for a company that sells payment terminals. Of course that will never work. Paying is just not fun, I'd rather receive money.
But the marketing agency won't let itself be boxed in. Yes! Let's pretend that a payment is an experience, an event! Let's make payment happen!
The payments didn't seem to be happening at our office, so we ordered a technician.
A grumpy man enters and walks straight to our ATM. That's a good start.
He starts pressing all sorts of keys, and a report comes out of the machine. With bated breath I wait for his comment. What could be wrong with our payment machine?
The mechanic says nothing.
The phone rings.
I pick up, and I am momentarily absorbed. It is a lady who has never rented a bus before, and has no idea how big the bus she needs should be. I ask what items she needs to transport.
In the middle of my phone call, the ATM technician lets out a huge fart.
I think the lady who called us heard it too.
I burst out laughing.
I tell the lady on the phone with a laugh: I know a great slogan for a payment terminal company! Let's make farting happen! (farting = to let out a fart)
The poor lady doesn't understand it at all.
And the mechanic? He acts like nothing is wrong. Dirty mechanic.
I open a few doors in the office and let the farting vending machine man do his thing.
The good news is that the payment terminal is working again!
So if you have a of van comes to rent, you can pay your deposit with a PIN card without any problems. Very handy if you have a van in the Born region want to rent!
Let's make farting happen!
(Just not in our office when I'm there)
