I swiped my card, which is on my car keys with multiple other cards, at the entrance to the dressing rooms at Mullingar park Hotel leisure centre and nearly went head first over the turn style when it refused to move. I didn't panic too much.. I had renewed my membership earlier this week so maybe they hadn't ungraded my card yet. I took my cards and went up to the desk. I explained my situation to the guy on call and showed him my card. He looked at it quizzically, turned it over once or twice and announced
"Eh, Madam… this isn’t your membership card. This is your Dunnes Stores
Clubcard."
I looked down in surprise. Sure enough, he was
right. I’d love to say it was an easy mistake to make but… my membership card
is white, and the Dunnes Stores one is dark green. Not even cousins in the
colour chart.
I mumbled a swift apology, swiped myself in
properly this time, and made a beeline for the far corner of the dressing room,
hoping the tiles would swallow me whole.
Time for a trip to Specsavers, methinks
