Oh Err - I have just been called a racist in Primark...

[DEN53]

Waiting on a queue of around10 people with just 2 checkout assistants, an indian lady was having a basket full of clothes checked through the till, she then decided some of the items she did\'nt want, then she started querying the prices of the items she did want. The checkout assistant then decides to leave the till and go downstairs to check the items, I shouted should\'nt a supervisor being doing that for you as there are around 10 people waiting to be served. The indian lady turns to me and said, \'is this because I am asian\' I couldn\'t believe it.

I replied to her \' no darling, its because you are holding the queue up and my car park ticket runs out in 2 hours\' ....................everybody in the queue started laughing, which did\'nt go down well with the asian lady, but it did prompt the supervisor to put another assistant on the checkout.

Grrrrrrrrr

I've been called 'a complete star' and a 'sarky bu88er' in the last ten minutes by the same person. Both deserved.

[Stephen_G]

Good for you, Den. 100% backing.

Hows that pronounced in Gaelic then steg, I have some Scottish relatives visiting this weekend from Scourie i could use it in conversation ( that would be interesting ). LOL

[DEN53]

Before I get called a racist on here - I would have said exactly the same whatever colour she was.

[Barmaid]

Brilliant retort Den. Pure class.

[biggerlonger]

Personally, I would like to say that I think you handled that very well

[tonyav]

Nobody is calling you a racist DEN, I like someone who calls a spade a spade !.

[pericat]

Good for you DEN - its actually more racist if you treated her differently to everybody else and didnt say anything. God this makes me mad

[DEN53]

Thank you - Judge, Barmaid and Biggerlonger.

[tonyav]

No, but Alf trained me ! lol.

[pericat]

[DEN53]

Exactly Peri - everybody in the queue was tutt tutting but nobody said anything - so gobby me just could'nt keep quiet ...........I blame my hormones

[jno]

apart from the small fact that she didn't call you a racist, or anything else...

[pericat]

I blame your good common sense and your ability to get it across with a sense of humour - good for you

[DEN53]
