There's a new small shop up in Caterham-on-the hill. When it opened there were was one 45-50 year old mae moron who'd just come out of hiding for years.

I asked last year for him to price check the strawberries were as the price kept changing day on day. Should I buy 1 or 2?

Tut tut, complain, then and apology when the price check was different to the label on the shelf. Then he apologises and I tell him why I'm unhappy, it didn't take him long, it's not inconveniencing him and that I was right that I knew it might be incorrect. I thought he might learn something instead of calling him a tw&t. Another member of staff was nearby. Another time he turned round and kicked the low cupboard door shut beneath the fags when someone had a minor request or gripe. I saw seferal people muttering about him when leaving. He's gone.

Another woman used to pronounce Ciabatta "Key-a-batter." I don't know if there were any complaints but her communication skills were pretty poor. She's gone.

It's all mainly 20 somethings now. I don't know if they're grads or wasted on the career shelf because of the nation's problems.

I hate complaining..... I was quite happy to pack my own bags, but she never offered, saw me struggle and effectively took the p1ss rather than help.

Surely it makes the day go better when you're friendly to customers?

I used to shop at co-op... I had a card.

But the last time I went there the hard cow serving me offered no help packing my bags and even tutted and rolled her eyes at how long I took doing it. I have Parkinsons, Arthritis and Dupeytren's Contracture.... my hands and co-ordination are pretty fcuked and obvious to any observer. When I got home I rang the tel number on the till to complain - no one answered the phone after 20 minutes of trying. My letter of complaint got a £5 compensation award which I told them to shove up their arse.

For a start I send the Mrs out to shop with a list or go online to shop.

Tescos/Sainsbury's depending on who has given me the best money off vouchers.

Lidl/Aldi/Morrisons/Asda/Iceland/Co-op are for the peasants.

Waitrose/M&S are for the toffs.

BTW French cheese/wine = over-rated and over-priced.

Thanks Hoof. Love lidl me. Their tiramasu is lovely, Tis soaked in loads of alcohol.

Once again you show disdain and look down your nose at others.
