Mad Rush to Use Yellow Coupons

With the issue of Sodexo passes to all the Employees there has been a mad rush by my company people to stock up on items , they not being sure whether they were needed those items or not.

The RKHS Canteen in Cyber Gateway took the brunt of shopping since 29th May when the sodexo thing was announced. The majority of rush which started around 5:00 p.m starting that day and went on till RKHS closed down on that day. People have been going for several items such as COKE, DIET COKE, PULPY ORANGE, CHOCLATES AND KINLEY WATER.
The purchase of these items in that rush looked to me like people are trying to stock some essential during a storm :)

My Close friend in Office Bala Gangadhar Reddy who was still shocked by the news of the Sodexo coupons , said he did not have to rush because he had prepared from the start of the Month in collecting Pulpy Orange bottles for his daughter.. the fact remains that he never told us the truth that we can take it as well .

When people began to rush "It's just shocking. I just stood-up looking. But we started to prepare before so we just secure some Cokes and Water.

I often find people rushing here and there without a moment to stop and notice what's around us. Maybe that's exactly why we rush so much, to avoid looking at the mess we've made of the Office and the yellow coupons - but without a moment to stop and notice the mess, you don't get to savour the bounty either.
Or maybe we rush because we're subconsciously in a race with each other for the perfect free Coke or Orange Juice.

Either way, it would seem we were each born with an invisible monkey on our shoulder, whipping us on faster and faster (as we get poorer and poorer loosing the free stuff). ........
