The Failure by Tøm, Adam

September 29th, 2007 4:02 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Was there a Task that you bombed? Were you too ashamed to post it or too afraid of the dangerous red X?

Here is where you can claim partial credit.

Tell us what task you were attempting, why it went wrong, and what you plan to do about it.

Well we were doing the "Complete a business transaction using greetings card" task. Well we couldnt get any greetings cards so we managed with postcards. Our first one went fairly well and I managed to get some donuts, unforutuntly our next try wasnt quite as succesful.

For this we tried Gloria's Snack Box with our "California & Scratby" postcard (yes that is California in Norfolk where your silly state is named after) and tried to purchase a can of drink. We managed to get into the café, pass it over to the cashier and she just stared at us. When we tried to explain we managed to dig ourselves into a hole and had to just ask outright for a can of drink. The woman wouldnt let us take a photo of her and seemed geniunley confused by anything that didn't involve the words "I want". For some reason I told her it was a "London thing" that was in the Evening Standard. God only knows why.


To rectify the situation we successfully completed this task here.
