I went to Di Bruno Brother’s in Center City last night for some cheese, olives, bread, and cured meat. Walking by the small packages of meaty goodness, I noticed a ‘Buy One, Get One Free’ sign. I bought a ticket for that salty Meat Parade right then and there, copping some Coppa and bagging some Bresaola.

I was greeted warmly at the regisiter, and told the lady, “These were buy one, get one.” She eyed me up, untrustingly, “There’s a sign over there by the counter,” I assured her. She went to check. It was taking a moment too long, so I went to mediate. The Counter Guy pointed out that the sign was for sandwiches. “I don’t want two sandwiches…I don’t even want one sandwich,” I said lightly. Then, in an act of Customer Service, unheard-of in most companies, The Counter Guy said, “Y’know, it’s my fault, the sign was on the meat. Just give it to him.”

Amazing! I thanked them thoroughly, and went on my way. If only Bally’s could have been so easy.
