  • Calm Down (longish)

    we have a bogof deal for certain books but the stupid tills don't pick them up so you have to put the number in manually.

    So yesterday the trainee was on till and I was hovering tidying up in case she needed something and this guy gets four of the bogof books. The till doesn't pick the deal up and the trainee doens't notice and asks for the total.

    I could see this guys face actually twitching so I step in, put the number in the till and walk off to help my mum find something who just happened to be there.

    I then here him shouting at the trainee because I only put the code in for one set of books and not two. The reason for this is because his wife had put them in her bag so how was I to know. So I finish off the transaction and let the trainee back on her till. There was absoulutely no need to shout for a simple mistake.

    My mum comes up to me and says "you need to stop swearing at customers"
    how did she hear me!! I was basically doing it in my head.


    Just remembered this one so I better write it before I forget. Not relly sucky though
    A woman is looking for the dvd defiance . I tell her we have none in stock which is a fact because because my mum ( who seems to be a factor in sc's appearing) bought the last one the night before.

    Sc:I'm sure there is one in the window i'll have that one
    me: o.k i'll just go check (we don't keep live stock in the window but I want to keep her happy)
    Me:no there isn't one in the window
    sc:are you sure

    im thinking thst i'm blind go and check but go look through the window from outside, then I notice it . A picture of it not even a little cardboard model or anything but a picture on a poster.

    I tell her this and she is mightily embarrased.

    But yeah last two sc's my mum has been present , creepy.

          Probably a good thing. I don't think the cows would stay still long enough.

            Her Mom knew he was swearing, cause that is one of the first skills we learn. I believe reading your kids minds is on page 23 of THE MOTHER'S HANDBOOK. This lovely 57,000 page handbook can only be read by mothers. For some weird reason, no one else seems to be able to find it to read.
