After TUI cancellations ruined the owner’s holiday plans, he created this amusing sign.
The owner of a burger van whose vacation was cancelled by TUI has erected a humorous sign in the middle of a town centre.
Virginia Hulston, owner of the burger van Couch Potato, was scheduled to fly to Turkey from Manchester Airport on Monday for a two-week vacation.
However, her friend who booked the flights called her on her way to work this morning to inform her that their much-anticipated vacation had been cancelled.
This morning, a sign hung on her burger van on Oxford Road in Manchester read: “We will be open next week due to TUI cancelling my vacation. No thanks.”
The burger owner stated that she had not stocked her fast food restaurant.
“We were going to close in less than two weeks, but now we won’t.”
“I’d be more upset if I’d arrived at the airport and waited for five hours before being told!”
TUI, the travel agency, has taken the drastic step of cutting flights, affecting approximately 34,000 people’s half-term and summer plans.
TUI claims it is to assist in resolving the ‘issues’ that have caused recent flight delays, cancellations, and baggage problems.
Hundreds of other vacationers have taken to social media to complain about the travel company cancelling their own trips.
On Twitter, one user wrote: “On Monday, I was supposed to leave for a week. I received an email this morning informing me that it has been cancelled.”
