Next time, just snatch the offending item and beat him over the head with it. ;O) Although best to be avoided if it's the Sunday times, as there would be a risk of serious concussion.
I went into a local off licence once (well i have been many many times), and the flippin' awful woman was on her mobile phone whilst serving me with my goodies, she chatted away whilst i gave her the most intense daggered look, but she just carried on, took the money and handed me change and that was it!!!!!!!!!! No thanks.........Nothing.
I just walked out dumbfounded...............ignorant witch.
I'm good hun, pulled an all nighter so I can go to bed at a reasonable time tonight and get back to "normal" / non-vampire-like sleeping patterns...lol
I'm having trouble keeping my eyes open already!
I try and go to the same two cashiers because one of them packs in the same way I do so I don't end up really tense and stressed if she so much as looks at my goods and a bag in the same glance; (it has to be done just so!) She is also very profession, doesn't talk and knows I don't have a club card.
The othre cashier is a young lad and is my new favourite as he stroked my ego the other day and I'm shallow like that, however he does like to read the back of a book if I feel like a thriller, comment on my choice of wine and more recently give me reviews of a couple of CDs. I'd rather have him and his opinons than the other monkey heads though.
Bathsheba - If you think about it, although it's annoying, he phsychologically finds you very approachable as a customer. To me it says he knows you well, may be you are a regular? xxx
Happens to me in my local Morrison's too - you're not the only one, Bathsheba. It makes it worse because I'm on my 45 minute lunch break. I get proper p1$$3d off.
We have a cashier at our local Co-Op who will always read the headlines and then try to strike up a conversation about what is written there. I once had the oddest chat with her about breast implants as there was a story about Katie Price on my MORE magazine cover.lol.
I refuse to go to her till now when buying papers and magazines.
I'm the only person it seems that it doesn't bother.I find it quite amusing when cashiers comment on my shopping. Funnily enough none of them ever say anything when they are scanning the KY!
