Рецепт Recipe For Citrus Liqueur
Yesterday after shopping I came home in need of a drink! I purchased several items from my local store but found them more than 20% cheaper at their opposition, and so took them back for credit. One of the items was a probiotic and I was told by the ladies at the returns counter that they do not take back medication. There is no sign where I purchased the probiotics, nor was it indicated on my slip that I could not return them. The pharmacist came to explain to me that there is a sign at the pharmacy that states I may not bring back medication. I told her that as the vitamin section is not part of the pharmacy I did not see the sign. She said that the health section is part of the pharmacy. I then explained that I do not have to pay for vitamins, health supplements and various unscheduled medications at the pharmacy but I do have to pay for scheduled medication at the pharmacy, so how was I supposed to know they were part of the same section? Her response was to ask me “How would you like it if someone from Kyalitsha returned something and then you bought it?” Kyalitsha is an area inhabited by people mostly living in sub economic informal settlements and who are either Black or Coloured. Her assumption was because I am white, I cannot live in Kyalitsha. Sadly, poverty is colour blind and her comment was racist. She also assumed that people living in this area would tamper with medication and vitamins. Surely if this is the case, they could tamper with any edible product and return it? And frankly, area does not determine this type of behaviour and if the concern is that edible products might be tampered with then they should not take anything edible back. Once I pointed out to her that her assumption was offensive she became defensive and would not listen to my argument. I have been told by the store security that I may not write down prices to compare them and so buying them and then comparing them and then returning them if I can get them cheaper elsewhere is my only option. The more I rationalized why I should be allowed to return the items the more defensive she became, before eventually storming off as I was not leaving till I got my money back! Thankfully the store manager agreed with me and the refund was done, but the exacerbation levels were still high. Hence, the need for a drink! Which, by the way, I did not have. But had I had something to drink when I got home it would have been my citrus liqueur which I started making on the 18th of July and decanted on the 17th of September. It is not too sweet and does not have an alcoholic after taste and is, in my opinion, a great after shopping dinner drink.
Do you have a liqueur you like to drink after a meal?
