Startup Life SatireJan 27
My CEO gave me a coupon for this sandwich place: A Poem
I was gonna order sushi, and he was like
You should order from here, their sandwiches are amazing
And slid a coupon for 25% off across my desk.
I searched the restaurant name on Seamless
It wasn’t there,
so I visited their website.
“Click here to order online,” it said
So I clicked
but it took me to the App Store instead.
Of course,
I had to download their special app to make my lunch happen.
Ten minutes later
I am starving
I have the app (it crashed twice), I confirmed my email, I am putting together my order and
As I punch in the promo code
I watch as my order total falls to $9.97
$9.97, that’s
3 cents below
the minimum charge
required for delivery.
And so
with sadness in my heart
I had to order more food, to increase my bill.
