Yesterday morning we were up quite early and decided to go down to Shotton for Mr C to get some sky diving in. On our way stopped at a Macdonalds to get coffee, anyway I had a loyalty voucher for a free regular coffee (as I take coffee in most days to work for everyone), so we asked for one regular and one large. Handed him the usual price of a large latte and he said no it's 50p more, so I asked why they were charging 50p more for the same coffee than the macdonalds less than a mile away? He told me it was because they were a franchise. So I said it didn't matter, I'd just have the regular with my voucher. Now I know it's only 50p, but it's also a 33% mark up than the other for the same cup of coffee.

 

Anyway, we drove to the next window to collect the cup of coffee, and the cancellation hadn't come through to them quick enough and they handed us the 2 coffees we had originally ordered. I went to tell them but Mr C drove off before I could. We stole coffee

They also have different "rules" about sauce, some charge 10p while others give it away free. (The ones in sachets)

Awww Machel that's a bit sickening isn't it?

 

I remember being pissed off at my partner because I had asked him to get me a lucky dip when he was at the shops.  He didn't.

Next morning my sister rang me to say someone in our area had won the EUROMILLIONS jackpot and I had said to her about my partner not getting me a lucky dip and said if I found out the winner had got a lucky dip I'd be fuming.

 

A week or so later it was in the paper that yes, the winner had bought the lucky dip ticket only a few hours before the draw but we never knew at which shop.  That didn't stop me being pissed off and I kept reminding my partner that if he'd just gone and got the lucky dip it could have been us.  I know it would never have worked out that we would have got that winning ticket but I just wanted to let him know that when I say buy a lotto ticket that I really do mean buy one or else he'll never hear the end of it.

Oh and I was nowhere near any of them at all my ticket numbers weren't even close  I had a few tickets (I buy them if I'm at the lotto counter in a shop getting electric or whatever) and really thought I had a chance of winning at least something.  ÂĢ2.70 I won.
