I'm Stunned!

[2sp_]

Just had my weekly shop delivered by a certain supermarket.

The driver (a lovely man) was a bit shaken, on asking if he was ok he told me that he had just been assaulted by the previous customer because he didn't like his substitutions!

What is that about!!

[mccfluff]

i wonder what his substitutions were..... :-)

but shouldn't of happened

[2sp_]

I know, fluffy! It's not like the delivery driver would have brought him a bucket of sick instead of his loaf of bread.

No excuse for behaving like that.

[mccfluff]

the last sub i had was 12 eggs instead of 6, not something i was going to complain about

[ummmm]

Some people have no self control.

[jno]

you could have thrown some of the spares at him, though, fluff

I did hear a tale of someone who ordered an electric whisk only to have it substituted with a wooden spoon.

Sounds a bit unlikely, but I do hope it was true.

[boxtops]

Nothing like shooting the messenger, that's awful. I hope "that" supermarket bans that customer from their home delivery list.

[ummmm]

lol planks...that would make me laugh.

[2sp_]

I do hope so, boxy. I told the driver that he really should contact the Police too. If that's how someone reacts to getting the wrong colour of loo roll (or whatever it was), they really are a danger to civilised society!

I hope they also had a protein drink added to the shopping list to build up the muscles before they embarked on their mega wooden spoon beating escapade.

Seriously, what rational sentient being would assault a delivery driver over substitutions?

[2sp_]

I was really shocked when he told me. He often delivers my shopping, and he is genuinely lovely. Always chatty and helpful.

He told me he after said moron attacked him, he just got back in his van and left with the groceries still in the back.

[Georgiesmum]

Oh my goodness thats terrible. Hope he is ok.I really dont understand people nowadays.

[Dee Sa]

I am sorry I don't mean to laugh but I did ! I hop the driver was okay though ? shaken but not stirred .

[boxtops]

I do hope (seriously) that he reported it to his company when he got back to the depot. Some people don't deserve home delivery.

[2sp_]

He is fine, Georgiesmum and Dee Sa. Bit shocked that someone would behave like that, but I'm sure he'll be fine.

[society]

LOL @ "I did hear a tale of someone who ordered an electric whisk only to have it substituted with a wooden spoon." LOL LOL

[craft1948]

He wasn't a 'lovely coloured man' from Sainsbury's was he?

[nannybooby]

omg Im waiting for a delivery I hope I'm not next !!!! Or worse he's eaten my tin of biscuits to calm himself down.

[TheOtherHalf]

@Craft, I read about that in the papers too. Ridiculous !! Its a shame that some people are far too demanding of everything being so correct today. Give a little and stop stressing I say. How on earth would these folk cope with rationing etc if they had to like our parents did

[wolf63]

I get deliveries from Asda, Tesco or Sainsburys depending on my mood. All the guys are at least civil and usually nice. I know that their wages are not much higher than the legal minimum.

I snarled at a guy for bringing Irn Bru as a substitution for Pepsi Max but he just laughed and said that some of the substitutions are crazystupid.

Some people are just angry all the time.

PS "crazystupid" is now officially a new word and should be used everywhere.
