The boss and I were thinking about getting a nice eat at home feed. We packed the kids off to bed, and went to our collection of local fliers hoping for something different besides chinese or pizza.
bzzzt, wrong.
A local restaurant near the Lanyon shops without being inthem (is that vague enough?) sent us a flier at Xmas offering Turkish. Yum! But not to be. When we called it was “ah, it wasn’t popular enough so we aren’t doing Turkish.”
“When did you decide this?
“About two months ago”
“But we only got the flier less than a month ago.”
“Yeah”…was the sage reply as if that would answer all.
Now I know businesses have got to keep themselves economically viable. But shit, give something a decent chance before you give it up! No one else in Tuggers delivers turkish, and I’d rather wait for an hour at home than an hour standing in the shop given Saturdays will be a busy night.
Now I cringe and wonder what life would be if we moved to Woden, or worse still, gasp – Belconnen. Maybe then we would be a chance of getting something different delivered home. I wonder if they where “crocs” outside Tuggeranong?
