Arrrrrrrr, I just wasted nearly half an hour
shopping online. I rarely do that, because I prefer to visit a shop and
talk to real people, but I got this free €10 in shopping money from
Albert Heijn, the supermarket giant. They tell me to please please
please visit them online and place an order for home delivery and I get
the €10. I am Dutch and poor, so free money makes me really excited. I
went online and got even more excited:
they have quite a bit of organic stuff, so I am browsing through the
catalog and my eyes light up and my tummy starts to make odd noises. I
place my order, which is just above €10 and Proceed to Payment, which is
when the trouble started.
First, the delivery costs. On
average €5. Hmmmm, this is not getting worth my time, but I persist and
keep clicking. Next, the peanut butter is out of stock; and another
message pops up: Sorry, only shopping lists worth €70 or more are
allowed for home delivery. Well, fuck fuck fuck, forget it.
Next time, make sure to put that info on the flyer. It says nothing of
the sort and nowhere does it mention this stuff, except when you start
looking for it.
But, anyway, it's snowing. Still happy.
