You think that, because of a power outage (which I assume they had no control over), they should have left their inventory of expensive food to rot, and devoted their time to printing up coupons worth an entire shopping trip's worth of free food for every inconvenienced customer. You further imply that you (the customer) deserve this free food because you live in a nation of well behaved individuals who do not, in fact, pillage and steal whenever they have the slightest opportunity. Since you and your fellow customers were SO kind as to not loot their store when it was at its most helpless, they should lavish hundreds of pounds of free stuff on your benevolent heads.

This is a silly post.

Then again, maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're getting at, in which case I apologize in advance, and venture that this post could be marginally less silly than it seems.


i was mearly stating that the fact that in the UK a super market having a blackout like that should be more or less impossible. it was powerless for the time we were there, 1/2 an hour give or take. you'd think there was some form of back up or some easy solution to fix it. plus it was the only shop to lose any power along the high road. the 'good will' coupons 'gift' was also equaly silly and just served to tick most of us customers off. i don't want them to waste time and trees making meaningless bits of paper to placate us.

i was more annoyed at the implication that stock levels not matching up was the biggest worry for the silly man with the managers badge than the huge amount of waste generated by a probably easily fixed electric fault. after the week i've had this just tipped me over the edge and i had to vent my spleen somwhere.
