I went to the supermarket today.

[micmak]

On my own because Mrs MM was not well. I only had a small list as we did most of the shopping in the week. When 8the cashier was scanning the shopping he said OOOOHHH panty liners, do you put them at the front or the back. My Q is, what would you have answered. I said pervert, go f*** your self and walked away leaving my shopping at the till.

[boxtops]

I would have just told him to mind his own business - the cashier is not there to criticise my shopping.

[Mamyalynne]

Opened the box took one out and pasted it over his mouth!!

[milly143]

Did that really happen or am I missing the joke?

[craft1948]

mic I'm sorry but I'm peeing myself laughing (front)

[ttfn]

I would have called for the manager micmak - that is no way to treat a customer.

[Jan1957]

I would have asked to speak to his manager straight away.

[boxtops]

I was in Tesco a while back and the cashier examined all the birthday cards I was buying - I just want them to cash up for me, stop nosying at my shopping.

[Jan1957]

Snap ttfn, too much time spent working in customer services. :-)

[Jemisa]

What is the answer then?

[ttfn]

It is (almost) incredible Jan.

[boxtops]

I think ttfn's suggestion is the best.

[mike11111]

I would have called for a supervisor (who would invariably be female), then in front of everyone ask her in a loud voice, "Do you think you could find a moment to show this young man how these are worn? His education seems somewhat deficient."

[Jan1957]

Perhaps we are the same person? Oh no, we can't be, you do brandy and I do vodka.

[Prudie]

I did wonder pinki why you thought a wizard might need panty liners! Anway it sounds incredibly inappropriate micmak - do you think it was an attempt at humour that he immediately regretted?

[micmak]

I can see the funny side now, at the time I was very embarassed. I have told Mrs MM never again to put ladies things on the list that she sends me for.
Craft I understand your laughter.
Ena. The manager is as bad.

[boxtops]

micmak, top marks to you though, for buying the lady things - I know a lot of blokes who'd be too embarrassed.

[sara3]

I would have said "if you ever manage to get yourself a woman, you can ask her".

[ttfn]

micmak, then I would have asked to speak to the regional manager and so on until I spoke to someone who understood the concept of 'customer service'.

Jan - it is cognac girl, please try and get it right. Brandy is for cooking - very occasionally ;o)
