05July | how to score a free lunch

 

Today has been a slow day at work - our email server is down for the day - so I headed out to Cosi to get some lunch. I got a Roasted Turkey and Brie sandwich, came all the way back to work to find that the turkey was bad. It smelled bad, tasted bad, and was oddly moist. So I sat and contemplated if I should go all the way back and complain, toss the sandwich and go and get some pizza, or toss the turkey and eat the brie, lettuce, tomato and bread. Hmm...

Since today has been slow, I decided to venture back out and fight for the right to eat fresh meat cause. I told the manager that my turkey was bad, she opened the bag confirmed that it was in fact bad, and offered me another sandwich. "Um, can I just get a refund?" I said. "I'll give you a refund and another sandwich," she said. SWEET! She brought me over another sandwich and a fresh piece of turkey to test, with abundant apology.

And it was delicious.

And that is how I got a free lunch today!
