It's Not Just Bad Luck That Comes In Three's
It's service in shops or rather lack of it.
First thing Saturday Deb has a shift to work so instead of buying a couple of Cob Loaves to make some spinach dips in she rings the local bakery.
"Hi this is Tramcars spotty twat speaking"
"Hi do you take orders for Sunday mornings?"
"We do! What would you like?"
"Could I order 2 Cob Loaves for a 9am pick up please?"
"Certainly madam, your name?"..............................
So Sunday morning we drove into town 40 k round trip. Only to be told by the same spotty twat that the baker only baked one Well we needed two but we decide take it & some french bread as well to use for dipping.
Spotty then informs us that he's already sold it FFS! I had to be restrained
So fire brigade Christmas party & the only thing we have to take is a Spinach dip , usually served in a cob loaf.
No worries it's early enough to drive 60k down the coast. I had ordered a Paddle leash from a shop down there so we could pick it up at the same time.
Arrived at the coast bought the Cob Loaves from the bakers no problem. Drove to the Kayak shop only to be told that my order had laid under the bench for 5 days, so they had sold it. He then showed me the note on the bag that said set aside for customer "Sean" to be picked up Wed 30th Nov. Again retarded assistant says sorry. Close to being escorted out of a second shop in 2 hours.
Now today my phone keeps sending me text messages telling me it needs its software upgrading & to call into a Telstra shop. I duly present at the Telstra shop in the shopping center to be informed that they were really busy & if I left my number they would call me just before they were ready for me. No worries next door to Gloria Jeans for a large iced chocolate & a read of the paper. Half an hour later I wonder in & ask how much longer, giving my name at the same time. Quick look at the list & I'm told as I wasn't there I'd been crossed out. What about the phone call? We don't call anyone sir, you have to be in the shop to be seen! Well the girl sitting at that desk over there <points> told me it would be 10 to 15 mins & they'd ring me, it's been half an hour so I called in to see what was going on. Sorry sir we don't call anyone.
I ask to see the manager & I'm directed to the same girl at the desk FFS So your the boss you tell someone you'll call & your staff insist they don't make calls. Trying to remain calm & ask what the official policy was I then listen to another customer ranting about exactly the same thing.
So the upshot was we were both bumped to the top. They plugged my phone into their computer which instantly fried my phone & it's now dead! I do however have a lovely pink one as a loan phone while Helstra fix mine.
Anything else we can do for you sir? DEEP BREATH STAY CALM don't make it 3 out of three

Re: It's Not Just Bad Luck That Comes In Three's
The bakery must be in a really tiny town if they only bake 1 cob on a Sunday. Population 5?

Re: It's Not Just Bad Luck That Comes In Three's
It's delicious & really simple to make. 1box frozen spinach, one jar of cheapo mayo, 1 tub of sour cream & a dehydrated pack of veg soup mix. Combine it all together, hollow out a cob loaf & pour it in. Season to taste & grill for 10 mins if you want it warm. Now I'm the house husband I'm picking up tips from everywhere
Gympie population 16 thousand, those that have heard of Cob Loaves about 6

I reckon it would have been a nice touch if you'd have baked your own loaf personally
