Pick 'N Pay Cape Town

“Miss Fickle, welcome to the sweet and cool drink aisle,
Where we serve you with a smile”

Oh please, Mr. Chips, Miss Bar One replied, “You could not think of something better to say?
Before you know it she’ll head the other way”

*rolling his eyes*Mr. Chips retort would you have preferred me to say “Miss Fickle you look 
smashing today?” 
Miss. Bar One looked away irate, "Trust you to flirt with anything that wears a skirt, it’s so 
cliché, so yesterday!"

Mr. Chips retorted with a grin, “That’s not what you said when I used that line on you years 
back”
Miss. Bar One replied wiped the smile off his face, “Oh yeah, what does it say about your 
charms? After all this time you are still on my track”
