So the other day I went to buy asun from one of my favourite fast food outlets, if you’ve been reading my previous posts you will know the baddest asun I’m talking about.
In walks this gentleman, proceeds to be served, he wanted jollof rice with fried meat, the moin-moin looked nice too so he ordered for one. A portion of fried plantain, spaghetti and a bottle of malt and he was done with the order. This man must be very hungry…see how stacked the plate is, but that’s none of my business! LOL. Next thing that ensued was chaos.
Bros brought out his card to pay and then the attendant told him, ” Sir, our POS ees not woking“…
Bros: “Come again”?
Attendant: “The mashine is not woking” he said a bit slower…you could tell he was thinking about the enormity of that response.
Next thing I know bros shouted, the guy flipped and I didn’t see that coming, hunger nor know wetin be gentleman oh. “Are you mad??? I’ve been here ordering and you not even tell me that your POS is not workin…why did you now put it here? he said, picked up their POS machine and flung it, then proceeded to give them a good hearing and stormed out.
Chei.
How do you tell a hungry man after ordering food, salivating that he has to wait first, drive off to go and look for atm, come back and then eat the food he ordered. That’s witchcraft in my opinion and if it were me no one can hold me responsible for anything I say or do when I’m hungry.
My turn.
I went to a supermarket after work on Monday, I was so tired but I needed to pick up a few items, so I went there and spent a good almost 45 minutes picking this and that, add to the basket, changing my mind…normal supermarket runs. I was so hungry so I picked up 3 packs of plantain chips so I can just be munching before I get home.
I stood on this yeye queue for like 10 minutes only for the babe to announce that they’ve stopped using POS. I’m like…ehn? Why did you now gum interswitch in front of your supermarket. I really vexed but what vexed me most was the plantain chips that I had been practicing self control not to eat until I paid for it. I had to go home because the atm machine was too far for me.
I was upset.
This cashless policy doesn’t work in Nigeria at all. Now the CBN has reintroduced N65 payment on all withdrawals when you use another bank’s atm….from what I read the first 3 withdrawals in a month is free. Life is hard in this Nigeria oh. Imagine if you had to withdraw 100k at once, you know that will be N65 x 4 right?
Not fair.
