spoil your day.
Had to go out to big town this morning, came across some very pleasant people.
However, the guy at the checkout in the supermarket was a pain in the neck.
I do a family shop on a Friday, and practically every item he scanned through was 'oh, I don't like that/them' or 'how can you eat that?!'
By about the half way point I told him I didn't need his running commentary and I was buying it for my lot and not him so shurrup!!
Although to be fair Alba, I once flipped my lid in a supermarket. A young lad came over and was chatting to the cashier. I had to listen to their inane babbling about their social engagements for the weekend and what "so and so" said on FB. I was completely ignored - couldnt even get her attention to ask for new bags.
Mr BM at the time could see pressure guage going up and took the sensible course of moving out of sight before I "gave her some words of advice".
On a recent shop the cashier had a very bad cold and kept wiping her nose, putting tissue down, scanning my food, wiping her nose- - - you get the picture. Went right off my shopping by the time I paid for it.
Poor lad, tried to humanise his robotic employment, didn't realise that you did not want to interact with him.
Just making his time pass more interestingly.
Oh, we get on wiv da staff in Lidl Newton Heath - notorious drug ridden violent slum etc - and ask after babies and holidays
and what they would do over the week end ( todays was working )
so I said o we will see you tomorrow then
I see a few of them in the street pushing prams ( the men of course ) and have a little talk. They even titter at my little jokes - "so long as the child has his mothers brains - he's gonna be OK"
and in their turn they put up with the usual OAP trick of being asked to pay the bill ( only pennies of course I am a pensioner) and finding after a gap (oldster's moment - can be as long as 30s) that the wallet is now at the bottom of all the shopping
[ why do I behave like a little saint - thirty years ago a complete stranger at a till said to me: "you put up a dripup on my friends baby when no one else could" - after that I have been a very very good boy in public]
