13:55.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is it that late already? The morning has flown by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nice to be able to tick a lot off my to-do list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I'm starting to get hungry now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luckily, there's a supermarket just around the corner that sells sandwiches during lunchtime. And where you can grab fresh orange juice. Healthy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I'll walk there quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018That won\u2019t do!\u2019 says the girl behind the till. \u2018The lunch special is only valid from 12:00 to 14:00. It\u2019s now 14:05, so the lunch discount is no longer valid.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Huh?\u2019 I say, surprised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At least: I thought I sounded surprised, but the girl behind the plexiglass flinches. Apparently, I sounded angrier than I thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had no idea what the lunch discount entailed, but I was no longer entitled to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018What's the lunch discount then?\u2019 I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018That you get the orange juice for free.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Then 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 \u2013 there was no reason to upset her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mad about the supermarket's marketing team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who would think of an event that only lasts two hours?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hard workers like me (sometimes), get the short end of the stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rare action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you're quick, you can still get another one for tomorrow car in the Urmond region<\/a> You can pick them up this afternoon and don't need to return them until Friday at 9:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Handing it in at 9:05 is also fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the 1-day rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We're not making a fuss about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
