A few weeks ago, mr. strivingcynic and I went to a mall that featured a Jamba Juice stand. Believe it or not, I’ve never had any Jamba Juice before. It was a hot day, so we decided to share a smoothie. It took a minute for the guy taking our order to look up at us (too busy looking at pictures on a colleague’s cell phone). A little annoying. The guy who made/gave us our smoothie was very nice and seemed happy as he exchanged the usual pleasantries with us, which made a difference in the overall impression.
The smoothie itself was some sort of berry-banana flavor and was very yummy and refreshing…we parked ourselves on some stools by the stand and hung out while finished the smoothie. I was sitting, looking at my phone as usual, in front of a poster for some Jamba Juice oatmeal.
looks appetizing, right?
Looked like a good deal…even though of course I can buy a gazillion servings of oatmeal for about the same price if I’m willing to do the cooking. But as an on-the-go option….yum.
But, I also couldn’t help noticing something on the poster…
only monday to when?
Wow…aside from the fact that in my head, I now hear Rebecca Black singing “It’s FIday….FIday….” I keep wondering what the heck happened! I kind of get it when Wednesday is spelled wrong, but Friday!? Or maybe it’s a sneaky way to invalidate the deal…you fools, there is no Fiday, so no $1.99 oatmeal for you! I just sort of wonder when a major corporation has an error like that on its promotional materials.
Wouldn’t stop me from getting another smoothie from there though….
Have a great weekend!
happy weekend, zo!
ok, that is too funny, the spelling mistake for friday…like, we learn to spell the days of the week in grade 1 or so, don’t we?! very unprofessional!! but good for a laugh…and you have a sharp eye for spotting that!
glad you enjoyed the juice/smoothie. there is a “booster juice” (same concept) right across from me, in the mall, and i have never tried it just because i don’t like smoothies/drinks…they are quite busy, though, esp with this hot weather!
yes – it’s better to just enjoy an oatmeal to go (or wrap or salad or whatever) without thinking of the (overpriced) cost!
Yep…my editorial training just won’t be denied! I’ve seen some clunkers on menus, but usually those aren’t big chains like this. I just wonder what the process is for how a poster like that gets printed!
Have a great weekend!
haha i have so many “sign” pet peeves! It’s Fiday, have a great weekend, ha!
Things like that make me crazy! Crazier is the fact the books are published (and reprinted and republished) with mistakes!! Spelling errors, misuse of word, words left out of a sentence(there must be something left out because the sentence makes no sense!
Guess we are picking to think that people will use the English language correctly!
