Grrrr supermarket rant

[Barmaid]

OK, I hate supermarkets at the best of times, but am always polite and pleasant to the staff - until today.

Get to the checkout and the girl doesn't even acknowledge I am there and launches into a conversation with a mate who happens to pop by. I pack my shopping listening to their inane chat about FB, what they are doing tonight, have they seen so and so. Hell I even had to wait to interrupt them for some more bags. After quite some time, I lost my rag and omg, did I lose my rag. Had a right go at her, and when he started getting lippy with me I tore a strip off him too. I was just so furious that I was spending a shed load of cash and she couldn't be bothered to drag herself away from a conversation. And then when he waded in (his silliest comment was "you are just jealous that she's got a job")

No question, just a rant. Why are people so bloody stupid. A courteous "hello" etc would not have been amiss.

I was in a big Tesco at Beckton East London at checkout with a trolley full and the East European assistant watched me struggle to get the things in the bags then blow me whilst waiting for me to catch up [ no help offered] she started turning the pages of my Sunday papers that were on the conveyor belt I went "into one" and the manager arrived took her off the till and apologised and sent someone else to finish, he then with a face like thunder told her to report to his office, havent seen her since but I dont go there very often.
