Return to the Lion's Den
It's not a den. And there are no lions. But nevertheless, I returned to it. The place that I once called Tesco. I still call it Tesco, only I don't work there anymore. I am once again; the customer.
I went there to drop off my cardinal card. Now to me, the cardinal card system is bizarre. The idea is that you put money on it and then you use it on all the vending machines in the staff canteen area. One of the reasons for this is because they often do random searches on lockers and on your person, and if you're caught with money then you can get in trouble for theft. Now in all the time I was there I never knew of anyone getting searched, but anyway, what gets me is that you need to take money in with you to be able to put it on your cardinal card for it to work. It sees to me as though you can basically get in trouble for carrying a wallet with money which you intend to put on your cardinal card in order to get the wonderful chocolate located within their vending machines so that they can make a profit by ripping off your sorry ass. Without the ass-ripping part.
Anyways, so I dropped it off with my ex-supervisor, made a point to her that I'm going to go to the job centre to sign-on soon, bought some food (yes - that includes pizza), paid and then walked out and gave the store the finger!
Well, okay, I didn't give it the finger, as I thought that was a bit harsh. So I just pointed at it aggressively.
