Cinnaminson Bagel Shop

My wife loves those cards that vendors provide you as a way of getting your business.

You know the kind, you buy something and get it punched--get 10 punches and you get something free.

Rita's Water Ice has them.

Saladworks in Delran has them.

Even the small bagel shop in Cinnaminson (near the Wine Cellar) has them.

Yesterday my wife ordered a chicken wrap, which was being prepared, and the owner rang her up---when he found out she had a full card of punches, and therefore was entitled to a free wrap, he went back to the girl making her chicken wrap, and substituted one for the one she was making.

It was easily the smallest one she had ever gotten there. Ordinarily, the chicken wraps are large enough for her to share hers with me---when she got home, I asked her where the other half was. It was that small.

It was also severely lacking on one major ingredient--chicken. It would have taken a magnifying glass to see any in it.

Great way to treat a loyal customer Mr. Owner.

Why bother with these frequent buyer cards if that's the way you are going to treat a frequent customer.
