Cancelling the Gym

Member: Hi. I want to cancel my membership, please.

Receptionist: Of course. Can I ask why?

Member: I never come to the gym. I came only twice this year.

Receptionist: I understand. One moment... Oh, you have a contract until December.

Member: A contract? Nobody told me.

Receptionist: It's on page two of the form you signed in January. If you cancel now, you pay a fee of 40 euros.

Member: Forty euros! That's the price of two months!

Receptionist: Yes, but there is another way. You can freeze your membership for three months. It's free.

Member: Freeze it? How does that work?

Receptionist: You don't pay and you don't come. After three months, you decide again.

Member: That's better. I'll freeze it. Thank you for being so honest.

Receptionist: No problem. Please sign here.
