Customer appreciation days
We are having one of these at work today, and it got me thinking - lots of companies here tend to do this and I can't ever remember anything like this happening in England (not UK bashing just difference analyzing).
Now I know its a marketing gimmick to get people through the door but the companies give away free food and drink (pancake breakfasts and coffee - we're doing smokies, donuts and pop - all good and healthy then
)
We are very busy today as we have special pricing to go with it but have you ever been to a customer appreciation day for anything other then the free food? I've seen people in here just getting smokies and pop and walking straight back out again
Maybe its the way to live off an income of thruppence in Canada

Re: Customer appreciation days
SO if you have income of 130k and you go to ALL the customer appreciation days will your Tax bill be reduced or increased

But if you go to all the customer appreciation days - you will gain lots of weight and spots and then can get a lower paid job in Walmart and because of your subsequent IQ drop you can get government support for being a moron and live for free forever.!!!!!
A smokie is like a bigger hot dog sausage, served in a bun - yum yum.

<predicts that the idiot troll umpatan will be along presently to endorse this theory, but that he will suggest that in passing he will conquer the world>

Re: Customer appreciation days
I know I should have a sensible response to this but, with 130k, umpatan, Novo who did not know something and a block heater all in the same place the possibility of that has momentarily escaped me!

If I bothered to remember who was married to which movie star, what incredibly tedious piece of hollywood tripe won an oscar or bits of quaint western Canadian dialect for frankfurters, then I'd have no storage room left for important things like Gaussian copula functions and the Toon.
