So another assistant went and got someone else to open another till. The lad opened the till and said next please. Now this bloke with a dozen eggs went straight to him and put the eggs down. The bloke who was in front of him took exception to this and said im before you and moved his eggs and started putting his shopping down.. when the bloke with his eggs said i only have this - he said I'M BEFORE YOU and the poor assistant didnt know where to look or what to do - he was stood there doing nothing waiting and he could have put through the eggs no problem with no hassles, and this bloke with his eggs put them down again - this other bloke picked them up and moved them to another till and said IM BEFORE YOU thought it was going to be fisticuffs in iceland!!!! It was funny watching it - me - i stayed in the same queue i was in and got served quicker than the ones who moved over to the other till. By the way i let the bloke with the eggs go in front of me - he came and queued behind another woman and me we let him go in front of us.

LOL, that always makes me laugh, when theres a long queue and suddenly another till opens.....they all run for it like the shop is giving the food away...LOL
daft gits, it better to wait where you are

Can we name and shame any of these establishments? If you`re job involves dealing with the public it is part of you`re job to be nice and polite, i don`t deal with the public and work with another chap so we can be as ignorant and grumpy as we want.........

I'll name and shame, it was farmfoods in Blackburn lol. Oh she was good. Picture the scene, two mothers, two impatient 3 year olds who have witnessed the purchase of various gingerbread men, cakes, chocolate, pop etc, 2 trolleys of food (admittedly mine probs counted for 1 1/2 of them), and a counter the size of a breadboard. The other customers were helping me cos the assistant was to busy removing her head from her large erm, orifice.

Incidentally havent been back....

The guy with the eggs was out of order I would have done the same I hate queue jumpers, it does not matter he only had one item.

That's true, then again polite people will often let someone with a couple of items go in front of them if they have a trolley full, I know I do.

If you let them in front of you then that's your choice but the guy pushed in so get to the back and wait your turn or else.

the guy who opened up the second till should have indicated who he was going to serve , not just saying "next please" and having all the morons rush over to his aisle .
As for the guy with one item , any supermarket with any brains should allways have the fast/quick check lane open at all times as the first option

abilush · 19-04-2008, 11:50

im a very nice sales assistant too. i always smile and say please and thank you cos after all its customers who pay my wages and there is always the staff incentives and mystery shoppers! sometimes its hard tho ive had change thrown in my face and been smacked by a shoplifter i think we need danger money sometimes!lol

emzy · 19-04-2008, 11:51

I have the problem not with the staff generally (everyone seems to talk to either me or my kids) but with the ignorant shoppers who push past me, tut and pull their face or rush infront of me if a new line opens etc knowing full well that its gonna take me a little longer to get there having the pram. I think a log of people are just ignorant and selfish in general. Although if you are working then you should at least try to be polite and put a smile on

pam1 · 19-04-2008, 12:59

YOUR WRIGHT, i went in to town to day all stafe seem to be that way out to day, i think its all the bad weather we have been having making them grumpy,we need a bit of sun shine that will make them smile.

pam1 · 19-04-2008, 13:09

what gets on my back is people stores camping in ills and you are always saying excuse me to pass. way can they not go to one side or even wate till they go out side.

Mick · 19-04-2008, 13:19

The only thing that really gets me i when i go into W.H.Smiths for my computer mag
you cant get to the shelf its like a ruddy reading room
i don't know if all the people that are reading the mags actually buy them but its annoying trying to get to the shelf when someone is standing in the way with there head stuck in a mag

I struggle to get round there in the pram anyway, a lot of the aisles are to narrow because of badly positioned display units, this goes for many of the shops though

Your right,many shops dont cater properly for people pushing pushchairs or people in wheelchairs.....it really is apalling.Especially as im sure there are laws for such thing.

Stanleymad · 19-04-2008, 14:26

Accy town centre is appalling excuse for shopping anyway, theres ****** all & whats left is crap, utter depressing - communist countries have better!!

Makes u laugh even more when they have built or building poshy appartments trying to attract more up market people - yet a stones throw from the ruin called accy centre!! Even more i cant understand the Europeans coming to this town - why? lol. No wonder the staff & customers are miserable is it any wonder ?!?
