...and where do I begin? With a bit of background, perhaps.
Those of you in the UK may be familiar with the abhorrent Daily Mail Free DVD's....that is, the promotion that the Daily Mail 'newspaper' have going week in, week out whereby if you shell out 45p for their godawful propaganda rag, they give you a free DVD which you will undoubtedly never, ever watch. The content ranges from French language lessons to World War I documentaries, from cheap remakes of kid's classics to Danielle Steel trashy movies. These are, to customers, the Holy Grail of freebies, and some will (quite literally) fight for them. But I digress.
Trevor the Racist is an interesting character. He's in his mid-50's, talks in a broad Cockney accent which sounds suspiciously false, and likes to get something for nothing. For a long time, he would come in and quite brazenly take the free DVD from behind the counter without buying a paper. When we told him he had to buy the paper to get the disc, he launched into a ten-minute rant about how 'you can't get anything for free in this bloody country, I blame Thatcher, und so weiter.'
Interesting, because Trevor the Racist also likes to complain at length about the 'bloody immigrants mooching off the system, trying to get everything for free' (sound familiar?) He likes to hold up queues of people while he engages you in tales of Bloody Immigrants and his grievances with them, usually concluding in his telling you to move out of the country while you still can. He is a total motormouth and likes to share his right-wing ideals with the whole shop if possible.
This isn't the main reason he sucks, although it is a big part of it. On top of being a freeloading bigot, he likes to intimidate staff. A former colleague of mine used to hide whenever he would come into the shop because, more than once, he cornered her and demanded a kiss. One of our older members of staff gets very intimidated by his loud, aggressive manner but has to deal with him every day. And the other day, he came into the store and yanked my hair. He walked right up behind me, grabbed my ponytail and pulled my head right back. Then, after I politely asked him NOT to touch me, he started to rant about how my hair was a stupid colour, and how I was an idiot to have dyed it that colour (it's pink, by the way)
I could go on, but I've encroached enough on your forum
P.S - WhSmith's IS SHIT.
