An insightful week at work this week in WHSmiths. A day when I was so tired, I spent the day in a dazed state doing whatever seemed normal. I was sat on tills all day which made brainless work easy.
Around 2pm, a customer bought a pack of 20 cigarettes for about £9 and complained that the weather outside made her feel horrible and that she "needed a fag break" She then exclaimed about the price of said "Fags" and left.
The customer after her wins Pasta's "Thought-provoking quote of the week" award. He looked disgustingly at the last customer and said this:
"You can buy 20 chocolate bars for £9, surely if you're going to wreck your health, you may as well do it with something that tastes nice"
In my dazed state, I smiled and bagged his newspaper, sending him on his way. About an hour later, when his words had processed- I had the fantastic thought.
Freddos are great. You can get them in packs of 20, everyone likes them. I even know people who are allergic to chocolate who can eat Freddos and not die. They bring happiness in their little frogg-y form and cost around 17p each.
Those of you 90s kids out there who remember when they were 10p each, respect points earnt there.
I'm thinking of promoting a new type of "F.A.G break" where instead of the word "fag" being slang for a cigarette, it will infact stand for "Freddos Are Great" and be a calling for all Freddo-eaters to congregate together and share a freddo or two. It's illegal indoors, it won't give you lung cancer and they can make you happy on even the most dreary day.
Excuse me, I need to go on a fag break.
