daverity   10 #19 Posted November 15, 2005 (edited) What about when you go to the checkout, cashier scans your goods and tells you the overall price. For instance we'll say it's 10 pounds 52 pence. You then give her a twenty quid note and noticing you've got some change you'll say 'Do want the 52p?' She then says 'If you've got it'  <REMOVED>, no I was making it up I haven't got the 52p at all, I just thought I'd say it to make conversation. :rant: Edited October 28, 2010 by esme Not Family Friendly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
davyboy   19 #20 Posted November 15, 2005 (edited) Entering the supermarket for just one item only to find they've rearranged the store and it takes you 10 minutes to find it. Then to get behind a q of people that don't realize that the fewer than 10 items checkout doesn't mean 11-20 items and those <REMOVED> women who don't realize they have to pay for the things in the basket and spend 10 minutes looking for their <REMOVED> purse at the bottom of their handbag :rant: :rant:  I FEEL BETTER NOW Edited October 28, 2010 by esme masked swearing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
nuf_said   10 #21 Posted November 15, 2005 Shops that don't want customers are my favourite hate......  For instance - went into Staples and selected about £50 worth of stuff. No-one on any of the tills - just one person on the enquiry desk at the front. There was already a few customers there and the assistant was phoning someone, and it was taking some time. So, went to the big copy desk at the other side where an assistant was scratching her head next to the ''pay here'' sign. Put the stuff on the counter and what did she say - Do you want to pay for that? (Of course I do!). She started to say well you'll have to join the queue at the enquiry till. I suggested she put all my stuff back on the shelves while I go and find a shop that deserves customers.  Nuf said Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

missflirtuk   10 #24 Posted October 27, 2010 The people who stop with their trolleys randomly and then have the nerve to tut at you when you are trying to get past. They look at you as if you are something they stepped in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
