I was looking through some old school work, and I found a report from when I was the innocent age of 14, and our school sent us out for Work Experience. It was then, that I remembered my first ever SC!
Seven years ago, I was doing my first ever hard days work, 14 years old on a placement at a local newsagents...
So, we had a delivery of magazines and comics, and my job was to go out and pick out copies that had been reserved by customers, and put them in appropriate files with their names on then. Easy. I then started working on the tills, and a customer came up to me.
SC: Hi, I've come to collect my weekly comic.
Me: OK sir, whats your name so I can find it for you?
SC: *GASP!*
At this point, a co worker comes up.
CW: Sorry John, he's here on Work Experience, he doesn't know who you are.
SC: Fine! My name is John Smith! (i cant remember what it really was)
So, I looked through the files, and found his comic. A Beano (people from the UK will know what it is) and attached to it was a nice free gift. I cant remember what it was, but lets just say, it was a chocolate bar.
SC: What is that?
Me: Your order sir?
SC: Not the comic! THAT!
He pointed at the chocolate bar.
Me: Thats the free gift! (I said very cheerily)
SC: I...dont...like...free...gifts
He grabbed the chocolate bar, and ripped it off full force off the front cover of the comic, tearing most of the comic book apart. I stood there, completely shocked. The innocent 14 year old version of me couldnt believe someone could be that stupid.
The co worker saw what happened and ran up.
CW: Oh my God, John, I'm sorry, he's new!
She ran to the comic shelve, grabbed another Beano, carefully cut off the chocolate bar, and presented him with a brand new comic.
CW: Here you go John, I'm so sorry!
She walked up to me.
CW: Why did you give him a free gift? He HATES free gifts!
So, that is my first experience with a SC, and a Sucky CoWorker. A very weird tale, but I did get two chocolate bars to eat.
