13:55.
Is it that late already? The morning has flown by.
Nice to be able to tick a lot off my to-do list.
I'm starting to get hungry now.
Luckily, there's a supermarket just around the corner that sells sandwiches during lunchtime. And where you can grab fresh orange juice. Healthy!
I'll walk there quickly.
The sandwiches aren't finished yet, there's still a choice to be made. Quickly fill a bottle of gravy, and head to the checkout.
‘That won’t do!’ says the girl behind the till. ‘The lunch special is only valid from 12:00 to 14:00. It’s now 14:05, so the lunch discount is no longer valid.’
‘Huh?’ I say, surprised.
At least: I thought I sounded surprised, but the girl behind the plexiglass flinches. Apparently, I sounded angrier than I thought.
I had no idea what the lunch discount entailed, but I was no longer entitled to it.
Boring.
‘What's the lunch discount then?’ I asked.
‘That you get the orange juice for free.’
Ow.
‘Then I'm being nicely conned here. No free orange juice, I wanted to say. But that wouldn't have been nice. The checkout girl was just doing her job behind the plexiglass – there was no reason to upset her.
Mad about the supermarket's marketing team.
Who would think of an event that only lasts two hours?
Hard workers like me (sometimes), get the short end of the stick.
Rare action.
If you're quick, you can still get another one for tomorrow car in the Urmond region You can pick them up this afternoon and don't need to return them until Friday at 9:00.
Handing it in at 9:05 is also fine.
For the 1-day rate.
We're not making a fuss about it.
So call quickly: 043-3521100 or Book here.
