I Wonder...

[gness]

what she really wanted to say to me....☺

Popped into a small Co-op in Kettering today....just inside the door is/was a post with buckets of water containing flowers. A very elderly man selected a large bunch...pulled it up and the bucket fell.....spreading water and flowers everywhere.

He was so upset and embarrassed so I told him to carry on shopping and I would sort it....I reported it to the desk.

A young assistant came to clear up and was obviously having a very bad day...she didn't say anything to me...the culprit as she thought....but she chuntered loudly about clumsy customers...didn't she have enough to do without mopping up water...and on and on...

I moved a few yards along to the meat section where two ladies had been inspecting and putting back sausages.....as they moved to the next aisle all the packets of sausages they had been looking through....fell of the shelf onto my feet.

What could I do but look at the mopping up girl....smile, shrug and say whoops....but the look on her face was priceless........

Wish I still had my lip reading skills....☺

At that time, Tony...there was a clothing section in the Co-op...☺

[DTCwordfan]

obviously, she had a heart of ice, tony....

[humbersloop]

she'd probably checked the policies tony...

[tonyav]

Mmmmm, probably loaded the fridge up with house bricks !.


Hang on gness, what as the clothing dept got to do with that bloke having an heart attack unless he spied you trying on the silk underwear !.

[marval]

That would be sqad then tony.

[gness]

Marval...I considered the kiss of life if things got bad and discounted it....for Sqad I'd have given it a go.......☺

Tony....if your wife had the choice between lifting a fridge and browsing in the clothing department..??????

[tonyav]

LOL, I knew someone would say that, marval ;-)

[tonyav]

Tony....if your wife had the choice between lifting a fridge and browsing in the clothing department..??????


Doh, phone for an ambulance quick, gness !.

[marval]

Give me the clothing department any day.

[Psybbo]

I wonder if there's a black list of supermarket shoppers..........

[tonyav]

LOL ^^^^

[DTCwordfan]

where's B00 when you need her - though she may be on the Coop list already..?

[Psybbo]

Hi gness, xx

[gness]

Hi, Psyb....why would there be a blacklist? Can't imagine a shop wanting to blacklist a customer.....well apart from the electrical store where I bought the.....and the wallpaper store where I....ahhhh you could have a point!

How are you?....xx

[Dee Sa]

Gness were they speciality sausages or Co-op specials ? have you noticed with the fancy special ones that you now only get 6 bangers instead of 8 ? me I get mine from our local butcher Lee he makes them himself.

[DTCwordfan]

ah, the spit and gristle of the local meat-chopper, adds the je ne sais quoi to his sausages, the thing that the Asda et al sausages lack......

[gness]

Hi, Dee.....the ladies had looked at quite a selection....I don't know what sort because I'm blind as a bat and couldn't see what they were at my feet.....
If I get sausages it's from the farm shop...but I did buy a lamb burger from the Co-op today....but then forgot I was cooking and burnt it.....so I had salad......☺

[tonyav]

You should have prick and pinged it, gness.

[gness]

I know, Tony.....but I like to ring the changes once a year....:-(

[tonyav]

We should have had a barby gness, I would have burned it for you !.
