"I was at Asda yesterday, this thick bitch was on the check-out, face like a slapped arse and all the charisma of a jellied eel. I came to pay, I had only bought a pint of milk and bread but had no change."£1.03 please""Sorry this is all I've got," as I handed her a £20 note."Haven't you got anything smaller, 'cos it will take all my change, and I don't wanna count out £18.97?" she replied and pulled a stroppy face."I've got nothing, if that helps," I replied...she didn't get it so I thought fuckk it, I'll pay by card."Shall I pay by card?" I asked."Don't do me no favours," she snapped.I kept my cool and just put my PIN in."Cash back?" she asked sarcastically.I couldn't resist it... "Oh yes, £18.97 please." |

Hey nice to see someone with a quick sense of humour, unlike the poor lass working at the checkout.
But and a big BUT just spare a thought for the lass who is probably working a zero hour contract desparate to earn money and this is the best she can get, hardly a prestigue job!
It's not one that would fill me with pride and not one with any form of prospect, future or sense of loyalty.
She was probably told she has to do extra hours today to keep her job, taken abuse from some overbearing darling who wanted her to handle her vegetables rather more delicately, had to rearrange to get her kids picked up from school and then some smartarse who expected her to be the happy bunny with the "and how are you today" attitude gets smart cos she will have to speak to her arse of a jumped up manager about getting some more change.
Life is not the box of chocolates for everyone sadly. |

I work in one of the Asda stores and if any of us behaved in that manner, we would be up on a disciplinary post haste. It is very dependent on the managers of any given store as to how much they clamp down on colleagues. I do have to say, in our defence, we do have to put up with extremely rude and ignorant customers, not to mention the aggression when having to refuse sales because of no ID. |

I've worked in retail before, legal offices, Local Authority dealing with Consumer Advice and now retail again. The behaviour of the public is getting worse, with expectations far too high and thinking they can treat shop assistants like dirt. Thankfully, these people are in the minority, but it can totally spoil a good day at work. Thankfully there are some lovely customers that come in. |

yea its a sense of being entitled to behave badly, and forgetting their obligation to behave in an acceptable manner. |

It's definitely getting worse and they expect something for nothing, even when they aren't entitled to it. They try to tell me what they are entitled to as well, not realising I have qualifications in consumer law! lol Something else I have noticed, it isn't always the youngsters who behave badly either! |

I was once given a 6 month ban in Asda ..... I had 11 items in the 10 item aisle.....the thing that caused me to tell her to stick them up her arse was....she said nothing to me, but had a discussion with Victor Medrew who was behind me in the checkout.....so I told her to stick them up her arse and took great pleasure in Victor being held up whilst it was all cancelled....was worth the ban! |

We don't have a "ten item" section at the branch I work in, but it really drives me nuts when people try to take a trolley full of items through self scan, otherwise we are very welcoming whether its 2 or 22 items. |

I ( Jacqui ) got asked last Friday in Asda in Linwood "where did I get my wig from?" by the checkout woman,,,,I just stared at her & told her it wasn't a wig & that it was my own hair. She then told me that she thought I was wearing costume for Children in Need I wouldn't have minded but I was wearing a pair of jeans & a plain jumper  |

I can remember my in-laws coming down to visit us when we lived in the UK. Went out to Salisbury and into a nice little cafe for some lunch.
My mother in law went to pay with Scottish notes and the owner promptly refused saying that it "wasn't legal tender" my mother in law disputed the fact (also works for a bank and is the manager) was told "no no no it is not"
So she told him if he didn't want to take it she wasn't paying and walked out.

there is a common misunderstanding as to what the term legal tender means, and it is nothing to do with payment for goods and/or services. In this case it is a question of being legal currency, that being said the only people who are obliged to accept any banknote are the issuing bank due to banknotes being a promisary note. |

Haha that's class,several times I've been refused the use of scottish notes whilst living in london,I've even encountered situations where scottish notes commanded less of a return than english notes at a currency exchange which is ridiculous

I had a similar thing many years ago in London. I offered a Scottish fiver to pay for something, and the arsehole said "You know these are only worth 50p down here?".
I put on my best Taggart voice and growled "That's 50p more than yours are worth in Scotland"...
The chirpy cockney took it sheepishly and gave me the correct change.  |

"I can remember my in-laws coming down to visit us when we lived in the UK. Went out to Salisbury and into a nice little cafe for some lunch.
My mother in law went to pay with Scottish notes and the owner promptly refused saying that it "wasn't legal tender" my mother in law disputed the fact (also works for a bank and is the manager) was told "no no no it is not"
So she told him if he didn't want to take it she wasn't paying and walked out.
I had a similar thing many years ago in London. I offered a Scottish fiver to pay for something, and the arsehole said "You know these are only worth 50p down here?".
I put on my best Taggart voice and growled "That's 50p more than yours are worth in Scotland"...
The chirpy cockney took it sheepishly and gave me the correct change. "
A similar thing happened to my sister and me in Tescos in York (where lots of Scottish tourists go) The bell end at the checkout, on being given a Scottish £20 exclaimed rather loudly "I have never seen one of these before" and then held it aloft to the light to inspect it. My sister in a similarly loud voice, then asked him " If you haven't seen one of these before, why are you holding it up to the light and what are you looking for?" He then rather sheepishly apologised and completed the transaction with out further comment. She then went to customer services and demanded to speak to the manager and suggested that customer service training might be useful. |
