  • Okay, I have an RE shop tomorrow where I have to buy bread and water and ask a product-related question. Am racking my brains trying to think of *anything* I can ask! Any ideas?

    Can you not ask something about the bread e.g. does it contain.....urmmm......wheat?

    Might sound stupid but maybe you could ask if the bread is suitable for vegans?

    Oooh, that might work, yeah. I don't know if they'd be able to answer that easily, though, and I don't want to deliberately stump them.

    The brief (which is not specific to the actual things I'm buying) suggests asking about gluten-free products and obviously it would be really stupid to ask if normal bread is gluten-free. But actually, I just realised, I could ask if they do *have* gluten-free bread as well...

    You could ask if the water you are buying is still/sparkling/peach or pear flavoured (because you forgot your glasses and can't see the label properly)

    I don't think they've paid a fee for these for ages, but there is still "mileage". I'm happy to drop by them because there are plenty of them locally that I actually go past - I like coffee, I like free coffee even more. So I either take someone along and treat them to free coffee/cake, or the required items then stock up on biscuits or buy drinks with the rest to boost my loyalty card for more free coffee later. Obviously can't make a living off them, but I'm more than happy to visit them for the current reimburse.

    The coffee isn't free if you have to spend your own time doing the reports. The MS companies are showing that they have no respect for the time you spend completing them!

    Gracious, perish the thought someone would read my reasoning around this in my subsequent post. Jeez.
