It was a normal day on the chicken counter at M I was just beginning to start the closedown jobs on it and generally cleaning the area when Daft Hat Guy approached. Now Daft Hat Guy though wearing said hat (which looked a little like Jayne's hat but less cool) I though may be reasonable and sane. Guess what? I was wrong!
The actors
Me -
DHG - Daft Hat Guy
Dee - Co-irker
M - Fish counter person
AM- Awesome Manager
To set the scene Dee & M were chatting a little way off and couldn't hear what he said to me at first.
Me - Hi, can I help?
DHG - Are you reducing the chickens?!
Me - Well, it could be 8.30pm or later depending on what the AM says.
DHG - *grunts* I want a chicken
Me- So you want a full price chicken?
DHG - No I want one reduced!
Me - sorry I can't do that.
DHG - Fine!
DHG stalks away... only to return 5 minutes later which of course is nowhere near the time I said for reduction of chickens.
DHG - Are you doing them yet?
Me - No, I'm just reducing the bits (which are legs and stuff like ribs which don't sell as well)
DHG - Oh, so you are doing the chickens next?
Me - Errr no, I'm not doing them until I'm told.
M wanders over, now M worked on a chicken counter for other supermarket so she knows how it works.
M - She can't reduce them because the SM told them not to until 8.45pm.
DHG - So call f'ing him and have him give permission to do it earlier.
M - well he'll be at home and unless you want to call him, I'm not.
DHG - Well F'ing get someone who can help me
M - No, the chickens are being reduced when they are told they can and no earlier.
DHG - f'ing rules, f'ing idiot *carries on like this as he walks away.*
Now we are a little peeved by this rude person and M & Dee go and see AM.
They come back and tell me that until this idiot is gone we are not reducing the chickens on the AM's orders. DHG peeks round the shelves a few moments later to see if they have been reduced and sulks off to the checkouts.
We get a phone call from AM a few minutes later... DHG had gone through checkout F'ing all the way about been denied his cheap chicken and AM spotted him and asked if he was the guy who had sworn at his staff. DHG said we had denied him a cheap chicken and M said that they were for the staff. Erm yeah right. AM said no way in hell would any staff member say that and he must be the guy who swore at M. DHG to the AM - F'ing prove it!
Bad choice of words oh Entitlement Whore. AM just looked at him and said right out of this store now! You don;t get on the wrong side of AM because all though he's a great guy and funny to boot he's rather tall and well built. Apparently DHG sulked out and claimed he was waiting for a taxi and it was cold outside when he tried to re-enter the store.
The daft thing is if he'd been polite to start with we may have reduced the chicken!
