A Reward for your Loyalty

Buying my morning coffee in Asda, I was certain I had a 'free one' on my loyalty card. Searching in my wallet I found... my barber's card. Seven more haircuts and the following one is free!

Next came the card for No. 1 Cubs. Suppliers of Cornish coffee and clothing. They have a coffee stall, with rustic outdoor seating

and a clothing cabin, selling rather nice T shirts and the like, at picturesque Charlestown Harbour. The best loyalty offer yet - buy 6 get your 7th free! I have 2 stamps so far.

The Tea Room at the St Austell Garden Centre
provides the next two cards. One for hot drinks (6 stamps out of the 7 needed before a free decaf tea) and the other for cakes. Yippee! My next cake is free!
There's a queue behind me now. Finally, I find my Asda hot drink card. Only one stamp on it. Boo. Another 6 before I can claim the free one.

Perhaps I need a bigger wallet.

I think I'll save them all up and have a non-spending spree all in one day: breakfast coffee, mid morning coffee, haircut, tea and cake. What's not to like?

I guess you're thinking "why is he blathering on about his unexceptional life? And thinking we'll be engrossed?" The thing is, this is number 8 in the latest series of posts. Remember when you grumbled about me having 12 days off? This is your loyalty reward: read 7 and get one free!

Be careful what you wish for.

  1. It’s a whole new window on the world. I don’t drink coffee, I don’t shop at Asda, I don’t go to a barbers and I suspect the tee shirts wouldn’t fit me. Can you direct me to a shop that gives one free for every box of cat food bought and another that gives me a free copy of Stace for every new wildflower I find on the Common? No, I thought not.
