Can't Decide What To Do.....

[gness]

Prompted by AOG's thread on CB........

I'm in the Co-0p....and you know what it's like....you take a basket for your three or four items and you fill it......it is quite heavy and I need to get my purse from my bag......

As I go to put the basket down the youngish man behind me is saying......"Here, love....let me take that .....and I'll put it on the counter for you."

Does he think I'm too old to carry a heavy basket......or is it because he's a man and I'm a woman that he thinks he's more able to carry the basket....

So.....when I get home which newspaper should I contact so they can photograph me holding the heavy basket above my head and demanding and apology on the grounds of sexism.....or ageism?......Maybe mention I'm Irish for the hat-trick.....

Or....as he's not wearing a wedding ring....;-)....should I just thank him and have a bit of banter as we queue?

Poor menfolk.....you do have it rough at times.......xxx

You did not bat any eyelashes at him did you.

Who would you be demanding the apology from ?

[donny48]

From the poor youth that she batted at.

Do you know, Donny.....I was wearing a super new mascara....so you could be right..... ;-)

The Co-op, Baz.....or the man who lifted my basket.....Donald Trump.......don't know really...who do you think?...x

[gness]

That's an idea, Mamya....they may give me my own column!!!....x

[donny48]

Can you do demure and coy to go with the batting ?

[Bazile]

The coop would respond they are not responsible for the kind nature of their customers

The lad is long gone

Trump is busy signing an executive order

:-)

[gness]

You think that'd be best, Donny?....Okay....we'll see what happens...x

[gness]

We may be able to find the young man on their CCTV, Baz.....x

[Bazile]

Ok - I hope they coop erate

[gness]

Well there Asda be a way of finding him.....x
