At Tesco – using auto checkout after being hounded there by the work shy checkout guy.
DVD (in security box, not withnail and I) rings it up and passes it to the “assistant” to de tag, free from box, I carry on and ring up rest of shopping…
Me – can I have the DVD you were detagging for me?
Ass(ist) – I gave it to you
M – No, I don’t believe you did
Ass – Yes, I did, I definately did.
M – No, look (showing bags conspicuously not contataining the DVD) You put it down on the table
Ass – No I didn’t. (quite stern) I took it out of the box and handed it back to you. I remember it quite clearly.
M – well that not what I remember happening, can you check
Ass – I don’t need to I gave it to… (looks down, sees it where she put it) There is is (thrusts it in my direction and storms off)
M – THANK YOU!
I pay, leave, and only go back if in dire need and they don’t get any family or extended family custom. Went from spending a considerable money there to nothing for 2 years and about £15 a month now.
