A Not Terribly Interesting Story

[Svejk]

But it is quiet.
I was just in the 'fag counter' queue at Asda when the girl on the Paypal machine sighed to her colleagues she had nothing to do. Seeing as I only needed the Paypal and the couple of people in front had purchases to pay for, I tentatively approached her. No, she said, you have to get back in the queue.
Trudged back to the back of the, now, 15 person queue when a bloke near the front said, 'Get back in here, you were in front of me'. Scanned the rest of the queue and they were all waving me forward with come hither looks.
As I say, it was only a trifle but in this me, me, me world we find ourselves in, I was quite touched.

You might say that the smokers were sending signals to you...See, smokers are nice people

[murraymints]

happens a lot in my experience..why make someone wait....

[Svejk]

They might suffer less with stress, stuey. Look how angry the anti-smokers on AB seem to be, all the time.

[mrs_overall]

I have always known that you are touched

[-Talbot-]

Awww bless, what a lovely little story that is.

[Svejk]

Thought somebody would 'pick up' on that trifle I put in for you.

[waterboatman]

That's just go's to show there are some nice people in the world. Svejk. :o}

[Tilly2]

I would have let you in, Svejk but I would have tutted loudly.

[Svejk]

Moaned, more like.

PayPal machine?

[Tilly2]

What's a Paypal machine, by the way? How do they work? I have never noticed one.

[Tilly2]

Snap, Ratter! :-)

[RATTER15]

Glad I'm not the only one Tilly.

I think you pay personal bills on them via Paypal.

If the for nothing lass was not serving anything other than Paypal (inefficient practice) it was no skin of the other queuer's noses where you went.

Tilly, it apperars the age of technology has left us behind..... https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=paypal+machine&espv=2&;biw=1680&bih=925&tbm=isch&imgil=L3iSzDErSv_HYM%253A%253BId9tts57zuZN9M%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.3dartistonline.com%25252Fimage%25252F460%25252Fpaypal_machine&;source=iu&;pf=m&fir=L3iSzDErSv_HYM%253A%252CId9tts57zuZN9M%252C_&usg=__19P_N9KPmiF94g7uxe1wyVEk-t4%3D&ved=0ahUKEwi25cHwrMzLAhXMbRQKHeDWAvkQyjcIcw&ei=ThDtVraGGczbUeCti8gP#imgrc=_

[Svejk]

Do suppose they thought that through, og. (talk about putting a damper on things)

[Svejk]

Us poor folks pay our bills on them, tilly. x

[Tilly2]

That'll be why I've noticed them, then, Svejk.

Ratter, I can't get that link to work on my tablet. I'll have a look later. Thank you.(Is it very technological?)

[Old_Geezer]

Just Google pictures of the Paypal machine. Why it is such a long link however ... ?

A similar act of kindness happened to me and Mr. C. We let a lady go in front of us because she only had one item and we had a trolley load. While the cashier was totting up our bill the customer behind us gave us a £5 off voucher from his paper. We usually have vouchers but they were missing from our freebie local paper.
