It’s officially official: there’s been a hideously dreadful mistake.
A dreadful mistake, so hideous, that …
Well …
Someone’s possibly getting yelled at, in a way that involves yelling.
You’re possibly wondering what I’m talking about, aren’t you?
Let me be sensible.
It’s the toaster …
I ordered a toaster from Amazon, Tuesday just gone.
A cheap one: that, with one thing and another, I managed to get without having to pay the £4·99 delivery charge.
A cheap toaster that I ended up paying a tenner for.
Only to find that it would eventually be delivered … on 20th March.
Given that?
I complained to Amazon, had the delivery fee refunded, was given ten pound’s worth of gift card as “a good will gesture”, and told a refund would be in my bank account by next Thursday, at the latest.
The hideously dreadful mistake?
Was one made by Amazon: as they gave me £20 worth of gift card!
Well, I’m not going to mention it to them, am I … ?
Not when a new toaster turns up, this afternoon …
