Four Receipt Stories

Story One:

Our consumer is probably a very hungry, very thirsty man who has few contradictions. I feel comfortable classifying the consumer as male because of the DEODORANT MEN that he purchased for 1.19. Apart from that, I believe this man lives a rough-and-tough lifestyle in which he consumes enormous amounts of meat and cheese. He also seems quite fond of alcoholic refreshments, particularly beer and sherry, pale sherry. In fact, he enjoys these beverages QUITE a bit, having purchased three undetermined amounts of beer and two amounts of sherry, These facts tell us that this man probably resides in a small cramped place, mainly to eat and sleep. His days are spent doing very sweaty-based things, like operating a forklift at the docks of Saarbrücken, a great seaport city, industrial center and home of vast amounts of, you guessed it, beer. In terms of the contradictions, our John Doe has given us a little bit of flexibility about his character in that he enjoys yogurt, of the fruit variety, and even the occasional fruit juice.

Story Two:

Rita is a young married woman who is putting together her first dinner party. Unfortunately, her budget is tight, prohibiting her from spending more than fifteen dollars for this beautiful occasion, and her evidently poor choice of friends needs some improvement. The meal will open with some slices of gouda cheese on paper plates with toothpicks sticking out of them, and then some minimal kind of stew concocted by water and tomato extract. And peppers. For the main course, Rita will serve Meatloaf and liverwurst, and all throughout the night will serve sherry and ale to her husband’s drunken comrades. Because of the profuse amount of perspiring that Rita’s husband will undergo in the course of the night, she made the decision to buy some deodorant beforehand. She will have her meal with apple juice. At the end of the evening, when Rita is feeling insignificant, she will binge on a cup of yoghurt.

Story One (b):

Chris Parker is a determined innovator. He fills his books up with ideas that seem to sprout out of his ears. He helps this flow with plenty of coffee and tea biscuits, to soak up the caffeine a little bit. As an innovator, his love for altering large chunks of various kinds of materials requires tools. So on any given day, Chris will go out to the local supermarket and stock up on these essentials: Caffeine, and sharp-toothed things to cut with. And nobody needs harsh black coffee sloshing around in their mouth during the wee hours of the morning, so some cream will soften the blow of an otherwise rude awakening. Good cream.

Story Two (b):

Even though our consumer is a little bit of an introvert, spending his days sipping creamy bitter coffee and perusing the over six thousand books in his apartment, all piled high, causing certain boroughs to emerge, he still needs a hand saw for that odd unfortunate emergency that requires physical exertion. Not knowing anything about handsaws, or how to fix a sink, he purchases one for 3.99 – hoping it will do the job.
