| | Damn you, IKEA
Yesterday, I was looking forward to enjoying a day at the slopes.
When I got to the ticketing booth at Adelboden, The idiot behind the desk asked if I have an IKEA family card. So i wonder, first Coop and Migros and now this.
Luckily for her, I have my IKEA family card in my wallet and upon showing it to her, she gave me a 50% discount on my ski pass. I was so angry, as I wanted to pay the full price, you know being skint like that Trasition dude. How dare her giving me a discount.
and on top of it, she has the nerves to inform me that my ski pass is worth 15.-, if i returned it to IKEA Lyssach in Bern.
This is simply outrageous, can't a man pay full price on the little things in life.
Damn you, IKEA.

I myself personally, was totally disgusted the other day, when some local person refused to take a reward for finding my wallet. I mean if I'm stupid enough to lose it I should have to pay, right?

Oh I forgot to mention that the offer at Adelboden only valid from Monday to Friday until the 28th of January and from 14.03.2011 until season ends.
So hooray, looking foward to paying the full price at the weekend. | Quote: | |  | | | Well folks, if you don't feel comfortable holding money, you can simply pm me and I will forward you my bank account details and you can donate any amount that you want. (free of charge)  | | | | | My thoughts exactly. Bloody hell, why can't you just take my money for what it's worth. I've worked so hard for it and yet you're refusing to take my money. Damn you, good do-gooder. | This user would like to thank for this useful post: | |

Damn you, IKEA. | | | | | While I am a bit shocked to see that being an IKEA customer results in such favours, I would regard this as good and shrewd marketing ! I just this week purchased excellent sports-shoes at LIDL for CHF 19.90, which are really superb ! Companies like ALDI, LIDL, IKEA, MediaMarkt and Conforama show how to do business in a dense market-place ! |

(free of charge)  | | | | | no no no, not free of charge. For every CHF 100.--, they have to pay a fee of CHF 3.55 to ME  as a kind of "silency-+discretion-fee"
