What´s the deal with the public water dispensers in super markets?
I have never seen anyone drinking from them in my entire life!
That´s because it´s filthy water and everybody knows it!
The hygiene institute was sent to test those water dispensers and they found many germs in them!
But everybody knew it before the hygiene institute actually confirmed it.
That´s cause they fill the bottle with water once and just leave it so.
It just stands there! No service at all!
No one has ever seen a guy changing the water!
Well, there´s no need for it, no one drinks it anyway.
Since you can buy different varitys of drinks in the shop there is no one who wants to drink water from a dispenser where any stranger could have put his hand on it and which isn´t even cooled.
They could atleast put some plastic fishes into the water, then it would look like something.
But if they served free fresh coffee I would stop there for a while…
…and most likely go shopping with my friends more often.
That would have a really positive aspect!
You see what your friend is buying. That can be really interesting!
You may see things you have never noticed before, for example spices.
But now there you see that your friend is buying it you get curious about it.
That´s how I got in touch with French Tarragon. You don´t know French Tarragon?
Then you better go shopping with friends! They give you new ideas for preparing meals!
But sometimes you would go like, “What, you eat that? I wouldn´t even touch it!”
When you are lucky you are shopping with someone who is easy to manipulate.
When you want to try crackers with a new flavour you go like,
“Hey, look at those! I heard they are really tasty!”
So your friend gets curious about it and buys the crackers and you can test them for free…or you walk through the magazines section and go like,
“There is the magazine with those many interesting articles in it. I can highly recommend it…when you are done with it let me know!” …and after that a free coffee at the coffee bar! That would save you a lot of money!
And you would meet a lot of women there!
You could start a conversation while drinking your coffee and later help bring her shopping to the car.
That would be a really nice start and your chances would be higher when you ask her out.
That is a nice imagination to me! Shopping would be really great!
But instead of that they have a water dispenser which is probably only used when a customer becomes unconscious cause of his shopping bill and you need to pour water on his face, I don´t know!
