Juice bar sign: “Grab these smoothies with full cream milk, skim milk or soy milk.”
Me: “I’ll have a #12 with soy milk, please.”
Juice girl: “We don’t offer soy milk; only full cream or skim.”
Me: “You sure? Your sign suggests otherwise.”
Juice girl: “No. Only full cream or skim.”
Me: “…if I go to Coles and buy my own soy milk, will you make it with soy?”
Juice girl: “I have to check…yes, that’s okay.”
I go to Coles, purchase a carton of soy milk, then hand it to the juice girl. My dream of a smoothie with soy milk—as advertised—was realised. No discount for supplying my own ingredients. (I did get the remainder of the milk back though.)
Ohh… Alex, soy “milk” comments aside;
Congrats on a principled stand – seems you have all together too much lay-up time on your tram routes however.
You’ll have no such luxury should you transfer to the Southbank crew!
You and your elasticised company tie are welcome anytime.
Cheers,
Drew
I’ve had a similar experience at a small pizza place.
They had a sign out the front proclaiming “Any small pizza” for a certain price during the daytime.
I went in to order my preferred pizza, and they said “oh no, that offer only applies to the marguerita.” I argued with them for a little while about the definition of “any pizza” but they just simply weren’t willing to honour it.
Totally lame.
