So, some of you may know that my day job is an expense report auditor. It's perfect for me really because I don't have to deal with people on a face to face 'customer service' kind of basis that much and I get to write politely caustic emails fairly often.
So I come across an expense report that has this thing attached. It's a plastic credit card type card that says "Taste of Vino" on it and the Whole Foods label. Hmmmmm. Is it a bribe? I check the report and find nothing that seems to indicate that they would have tried to pass this thing off as a receipt. I take the card out, put it on my desk and toss the report in the file pile when I'm done.
I come across the card again today. I have no idea who's report it was attached to at this point. I decide to google.
Wine lovers can taste before they buy or just have a little drinkipoo while they shop at the new Sauganash Whole Foods. Stop by the cheese counter to get your rechargeable Vino Card and add any amount you’d like in $5 increments. Snag a real glass from the shelf, peruse the 16 selections available “on tap”, and select the wine you’d like to try. Prices per taste are illuminated above each offering, ranging from 75 cents for a nice Spanish rose to $3.25 for a fancy Stag’s Leap Cabernet Sauvignon. Just insert your card, position your glass under the desired spout, press the button, and out comes your wine at the perfect serving temperature. You might just find yourself volunteering to do the grocery shopping more often.
Dude, so should I totally try and use this thing or not?
