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........
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!
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.
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......☺
