Now Im not one to rant on Facebook, and I think airing your dirty laundry on here is quite ridiculous, but after what I experienced today, I just didnt know where else to turn. I called at a shop earlier feeling slightly peckish, but I wasnt holding out much hope as I was armed with a mere £1.60, as I proceeded through the door, the first items I saw were the crisps, and staring me straight in the face were a pack of pickled onion space raiders neighbouring packets of spicy trans-form-a-snacks. As I picked these up I quickly noticed some tangy toms just below, great I thought, thats about 40p and Im already bagging 3 items. I turned to the chocolates and sweets, after scanning what was on offer, there I could see, on the bottom row, was a fat kids paradise, chomps, fudges, freddos and curly wurlys. After grabbing these four items with my spare hand, I felt rather smug as I thought I had about 60p spare. I approached the checkout where there was a guy studying a copy of the tv times, and he looked more interested in who was going to be fighting in the queen Vic than anyone standing in front of him. As he barely lifted his head, he muttered £1.75 mate. Now, as those words left his mouth, the feeling of shock and disappointment I felt can surely only be equalled by a contestant getting the first question wrong on who wants to be a millionaire. Sorry I said, £1.75 was the reply, he didnt even say please, (think he was English). I was now left with probably the most difficult decision since having to pick between history and geography in form 4. The gentleman behind even chipped in by saying he remembered buying most of them for about 80p, and he was about mid 40s. Put one back mate said the checkout guy. My temper began to rise like Gordon Ramsey passing a kebab shop. After about 52 seconds, some old lady piped up dere mlaen bach and I knew I had to move fast. I quickly searched my other pockets for the 15p I needed but to no avail. As I was putting the curly wurly back, (a ridiculous 35p) the gentleman behind generously gave me the money I required. I dont know who he was, (Ill call him Fred, he looked like a Fred) but thank you. You are a legend. As for the checkout guy, learn some manners you goat.
