Cauliflowers

I like cauliflower.  I like cauliflower with cheese sauce.  I quite often have cauliflower and cheese sauce for my tea with a nice bit of fish.

I don’t like to eat cauliflower every day of the week.  Cauliflower twice a week (not every week) is quite sufficient for me.

So today I went to Tesco (I will definitely have a rant about Tesco at a later date).  Tesco were selling little cauliflowers  - two for £1.  Fabulous deal for anyone who wants two cauliflowers!

I didn’t want two cauliflowers.  I only wanted one cauliflower.  The cauliflowers did not have an individual price on them.  So I asked the nearest ‘Tesco shelf stacker’ how much an individual cauliflower was.

 He said, ‘They’re two for £1’.

I said, ‘I only want one’.

He said, ‘They’re £1’

I said, ‘So I can have two cauliflowers for £1 but if I only want one it’s still £1’.

He said, ‘Yeah’ and wandered off to carry on stocking up the potatoes.

So.................... I put two cauliflowers into my basket and when I got to the checkout I said to the checkout girl:

‘I don’t really want two cauliflowers but apparently you’re not selling them individually?’

She said, ‘It’s come up as two for one – it’s a really good deal’.

I said, ‘It’s only a good deal if you want two cauliflowers and I don’t’.

She ignored me .......................And I couldn’t be bothered to argue or ask to speak with a manager.

I paid my £1 for two cauliflowers with a ‘best before’ date of two days.

I live by myself.  I am not going to eat two cauliflowers in two days so one cauliflower will end up being thrown out.

And while I’m on the subject of wastage – just how many trees is Tesco’s using up by giving their customers stupid bits of paper that say, ‘You’ve saved 27p today!’

As I say – a ‘Tesco’ rant is imminent!!!!
