Scrappy Bits of Paper
Buy a paper in some places like W H Smith and they give you all sorts of scraps of paper for things as varied as an on-line shopping voucher or a free bar of non-gluten-free chocolate. Because, I try to travel light and only have one good hand for holding things, I usually refuse the receipt as well.
So why do they not get the point, that they actually annoy the customers with these pointless offers. I’ve got to leaving them on the counter.
I thought it was just me until I saw a cartoon in Private Eye, this week.
It shows a supermarket checkout labelled “5 Irritations Questions or Less”.
We could be so lucky!

Surely it should be “or fewer”

The cartoonist probably knows that!
