cleaners

Go downstairs to the supermarket in the mall. Because the coffee grinder at home broke down fatally today, it will be necessary to buy ground coffee. Examine the shelving. There is fair trade coffee, coffee without caffeine, coffee in pads, coffee in capsules, coffee that is especially mild, it is all there. But no ground coffee for an espresso machine

Be disgruntled, buy a loaf of bread instead.

Then go to the tailor shop and cleaning service around the corner. Ask them if the shirts have been done. They have not. The man rings up in the laundry, and inquires. They will be ready on Tuesday. That is disgruntling.

In the main street, quite some distance from the mall, go to the coffee shop, and ask for a quarter pound of ground coffee, The woman asks for what kind of a machine, and explain that is is for an small expresso machine. She puts the coffee through her grinder so that it is pulverised almost utterly. The small bag costs three Euros. Almost as much is made on coffee as on oil.

And then home, and try out this new coffee experience.

It is quite Ok.

Then there is a telephone call from the laundry asking what on earth needs to be done to the shirts. Explain to the man on the line that the collars are yellow when they should be white. He explains that this is extra, this is special stain removal, this is not part of the price. Tell him that this is understood, would he mind returning the shirts?

They will be back on tuesday, and after a short time rubbing the collars and washing them yet again they will be clean.

The man is an idiot, he should think about offering a cleaning service and not a wetting business.
