Say the words ‘It’s free’, and you can bet TIta Juls will be first in line.
Tita Juls was informed by an officemate that Tim Horton’s was offering free sandwiches when you buy any coffee beverage, and so away she went.
On getting there, Tita Juls was not surprised to find the line longer than usual (possibly the rest of the Titas in the city had come to claim their freebies) so she had time to read the poster about the free sandwiches.
Ø ‘Free Breakfast Biscuit from 6am to 9am’, the poster read.
Biscuit? What do they mean biscuit? I thought it was a sandwich?, Tita Juls thought, bewildered. Then she remembered that Popeye’s had something similar way back in the 90’s. So biscuit, sandwich, whatever, it’s free, she shrugged.
Waiting in line
Well, she wasn’t first in line today, but she wasn’t last either! Standing for about 30 minutes in line made her indecisive, and in the end she chose a large iced coffee, and the steak and egg sandwich/biscuit.
Tita Juls found that on the walk back to the office, she was glad that she choose the iced coffee rather than hot, because in the tropical summer morning heat at 7:45, it would have been quite uncomfortable to be carrying a hot cup of coffee amidst the bustling city yuppies.
Back at her desk, she cheerfully bit into her steak and egg biscuit, sipped her coffee, and prepared for another random day at the office.
