Cheers Coke

In my break at work I've been having a Coke to myself, one of those little bottles (390ml?) for a nice $1.50 from the nearby drink machine. Pretty good price, who'd kick up a stink?

I must say that I did when I pulled my bottle out of the machine only to see it was one third full. Couldn't believe it. So I bought another one, wrote down the machine number and Coke hotline and trundled off to spend the rest of my break having a little chat with their representatives. The funny thing was it must happen all the time b/c the people on the phone were so willing to give me a refund I was informed a cheque would be out in the mail shortly.

To make it even more uncomfortable, another dropped from the machine a few days after that and it was about 60% full. This time I wasn't having such a good day and called up letting them know what crap machines they had, surely with all the money they make... etc etc. Hehe. Well, you're messing with a man's Coke here. Come on. lol

Last week I received 2 money orders (days apart) each for AUD$5.00 and a letter of the most sincerest apologies. The letters were so different from each other, making me think there was no template someone just signed and that these poor devils were forced to write a whole letter just to send me out $5 for my lil bottle of Coke. Imagine that.. "Yes sir, we understand you were frustrated by our vending machines...". Haha.

So $10 will get me a nice meal up at the Vietnamese takeaway with a few cold rolls for the next day. Thankyou!

Maybe your guardian angel has been drinking the coke out of those bottles to save your guts. Coke strips your teeth and rots your stomach lining, and too much gives you diabetes young man. Hopefully the msg in the vietnamese takeaway will plug the holes.
