they had on the shelves. I saw that they had a new CD by my favourite group. There was a 50%
discount on the CD. It was a real bargain so I brought it. There was a really long queue with
people waiting to pay at the checkout. That was because the cashier was really slow. Anyway, I
didn't have any money with me so when it was finally my turn, I paid with my credit/debit card.
When I got home, I listened to the CD but I couldn't heard anything. The CD was blan. I went
straight back to the supermarketwith the CD and asked for a refund. I wanted my money back,
obviously. They asked if I'd paid by cash and I told them I hadn't. I had to show themmy credit
cards to get my money back. But then they asked me for the receipt too, to show them that I'd
bought it at shop. I didn't have it. I'd thrown it away. In the end, the CD was a total waste of
money!
