The Mind Of A Moron

Bonus: Cannibals. the idea show

Feedback always.

There I was ready to buy my coffee from the cafeteria and the lady at the till chimed in “$2.50 minimum for debit”.

“Oh common the coffee is $2.10″ I uttered under my breath. “Okay I replied.” Frantically I looked around for something to add to my purchase that would push me just over the top. I grabbed the nutrigrain bar, surely it wouldn’t cost much. Well it turn out is was a dollar. Now I was pissed off, it was time to formulate a plan.

I started drinking my black coffee as fast as I could, with the plan to top it back up on my way out (self-serve). I had every intent of getting my money’s worth. To top that off I was going to double cup it and take more creme and sugar (sweetener) than I needed. After all coffee costs them nothing this is where the real cost are. Maybe I’d also just happen to need two stir sticks to stir it.

“Sorry it’s declined again” the cashier said to the girl in front of me in the line.

“Here try this one” the girls said while handing the cashier another card.

After a few seconds the cashier replied “It’s been declined too”

Frustrated the girl picks up her phone to call the bank and find out what’s wrong with her account.

I step up and hand my debit card, but wait, 5-4-3-2-1

The girl chimed in “The bank said all of the systems for debit/credit cards and down in BC”

And them bam! My card got declined too.

So I got a free coffee but to keep it fair I didn’t re-fill it, took no creme or sugar, didn’t take a lid, and certainly didn’t double cup it. So I think it’s okay.

But then again, maybe I didn’t take any of those things because I was in such a rush to get out of there lest they solve the problem.

Best tasting lukewarm-half-full-black-bitter-lidless-coffee ever!

So… That’s how my day was.
