Entry for 22nd September, 2009 - Complimentary Chocolate

I was in a coffee shop in Cupar today. It cost £2.05 for a cup of machine-made coffee which I thought was a bloody rip off. For £2.05 in Cupar I expect my coffee to be delivered by a singing barrel manufacturer, reciting the words "nickety nackety noo noo noo" repeatedly to a jaunty tune. I do not expect a little mug of lukewarm mud, which has been on the boil since early November.
I was cheered slightly when the surly till-jockey explained to me with barely described malice that I was also entitled to a complimentary chocolate!
You're entitled to a complimentary chocolate.
Really?
Aye.
Well - that explains the high price tag.
(Blank and surly look)
Will the complimentary chocolate tell me I'm very handsome and talented.
(Short pause) Very funny sir.
