I bought a delicate handmade salad bowl in a shop today & knowing I was going to be lugging it around the shops I asked the assistant did she have any bubble-wrap? No she didn't. But she told me not to worry because she'd 'Make sure it was really well wrapped' - with tissue paper. Ok, no worries I thought. Another customer comes along & seeing him & wanting to hurry along she uses just ONE SHEET of fecking tissue paper. One fecking sheet! What use is that?
& I'm so bloody British, when she goes 'Is that alright?' I go 'Yeah' but my insides are going 'Are you having a fucking laugh?' - Yeah that'll really do the job all the way home on the tube & bus - not. Next time I shall speak up. Since when has one sheet of bloody tissue paper been considered thorough protection from bumps? I had to carry the bloody thing like a new born to make sure it didn't get bashed. Sigh. Rant over.
Anyone else suffer like this?
