Like Vultures


The way they descended on the complimentary beverages and snacks provided by the ChloraPrep rep. Anything for free and clearly not ashamed to be seen to take advantage (perhaps 'cause health workers get so little for free?)

Although not wishing to seem ungrateful, they didn't provide any coffee* which I was particularly looking forward to (or any hot drinks for that matter); only fruit juice, diet coke, kit-kats, mini-donuts & muffins, a few packets of Shack-a-jacks and a good assortment of fruit (apples, pears, bananas & a few punnets of strawberries). Whilst not wishing to be greedy I grabbed as few bits of fruits (thank you ChloraPrep for contributing to my five-a-day), it's so costly and it seemed rude to leave it ignored. The sweet & confectionery items were infinitely more popular than the fresh produce.

Although better than the usual urn of hot water with instant coffee & tea bags and a cheap assortment of biscuits ... if you're lucky.

*It definitely said coffee on the itinerary, not cold drinks and treats. Thankfully I had one before leaving the house.
