Today I stuck it to 'The Man'.
I was in the petrol station buying lunch with the music guy, (let's call him Robbie), and proceeded to select an ice-cream from the Walls freezer. Now's about the right time to start having ice-cream for lunch. (This is a throwback from my uni days when two of my friends used to have a magnum double caramel for lunch almost every day).
Anyways, I wanted something creamy, perhaps minty, definitely chocolatey. And there it was...a mint 99 flake.
I took it to the pay desk.
The cashier (Sultana Begum) scanned my other items. These were two packs of chocolate caramel digestives (2 for £1.50). She scanned my other item - the ice-cream. Something was amiss. Up popped the price: £2.99. It had scanned as a "Lord of the Rings top trump" pack. This wouldn't do.
"How much is this?" said I, pointing to the 99.
"Oh sorry mister, I will make adjustment".
She tapped away at the screen, and I left after paying £2.49 in total. Robbie and I exited the petrol station, turning our mobile phones back on. I glanced down at my receipt and, low and behold:
I had paid 99p for my 99 Flake!
