After a mornings queue of flu jabs riddling the big costa, it was time to head over to the little one.
Would it be the right move? The small one equally has the servicing pace of a snail so we calculated a ratio of 3:1 on the queue vs speed before deciding to gamble.
On arrival, it took only 10 minutes to work down the queue of 2 people before being told he inevitable "sorry, points system isn't working today".
Ahhhhh. Alas, not all bad news as we were informed the points scanner had been successfully working on Wednesday this week for a whole 4hrs 32mins.
"That's a record!! We are so pleased".
Hopefully the good news bubble isn't burst too soon as one disgruntled customer let slip he is seeking legal advice on 'loss of points' with a view of compensation worth in excess of £2.4 million.
