Banned from my local supermarket after an argument with a member of staff- my language was bad though.

[Alderedge1]

So today I’ve been banned from my local supermarket, I’m not proud of what happened but I think that the member of staff was also in the wrong.

i was in the fruit and veg aisle looking to get some pre- chopped melon. The ones that come in sealed plastic pots. They were stacked quite tightly and some of the dates were quite soon, so I decided to go towards the back, in doing this I accidentally knocked 5 or 6 pots off the shelf. Immediately a female member of staff was on me- telling me “ you’re supposed to take the ones from the front”. I apologised for knocking some of them from the shelf but explained that it was my choice to choose the date that I wanted. By this point I had reassembled the display, so no harm done. She carried on chuntering so I said something like “ it’s really not a big deal, let’s move on”. As I went to walk away she said, “ it’s just not on”. I’m afraid this is where I let myself down. She was a small pointy woman of about 60 with short dyed red hair. I asked her what her problem was and she said “ customers like you thinking they own the place” to which I replied ( I know this is bad) “fuck off and shut your cunt up you fucking crackhead Anne Robinson lookalike”. It’s not often I take such a low blow but I had a rough upbringing and when I’m really pushed it emerges. The lady stormed off.

as I was leaving a manager asked me if I could step into an office for a chat, I said no thank you. She then said well I’m afraid that you won’t be able to shop here moving forwards.

so that’s that. Not proud of my mouth but she was a fucking horrible twat.

I’ve worked in customer services in various roles. I don’t tolerate shit like this. The manager who banned you from the store was protecting his staff. Know why ? Because of the very real possibility of escalation from verbal to physical abuse if they allowed you to keep shopping there. You have anger management and self control issues and they weren’t prepared to take the chance that you would physically assault someone.

Fuck her-
she sounds like an uptight, snotty little jobsworth who crossed the wrong person.

It’s way more than a cheeky exchange

That poster has a username the same as a male actor.

I’m not a man. I’m a 57 year old woman who knows how to conduct myself in public.

Apologies, I misread that. I got man vibes

I doubt if Cilian Murphy describes himself as having beautiful eyes.
I am very much a woman. (Who happens to think that Cillian Murphy has beautiful eyes!)

Apology accepted. Thank you.

It's the second time the OP has done it.

Oh FFS. I know you're a woman, I was just referencing the username you've got...after a male actor.

He does have beautiful eyes :)

It’s people like you who make retail workers hate everyone and treat the rest of us horribly. People are so entitled these days, they expect perfect behaviour from others but don’t live up to those standards themselves

I haven't the foggiest what that means and don't really care. But honestly what is behind the need to analyse her behaviour? I'm genuinely intrigued.

She was wrong. You were very wrong!

I've been on Mumsnet for years, always just read, don't have the time to get involved in threads or to be honest the inclination. I'm currently on holiday, have more time and to be honest unlike what seems to be the majority, I actually found this thread hilarious. I'm totally in agreement the OP overreacted but equally find most of the responses a total over reaction. So I've answered your question so would you now please answer mine.

Are you going to apologise, OP?

Or planning to sneak back in to Waitrose in disguise? 👀

That’s no bad thing.

You’re clearly not.

😂😂😂

The OP's posts are cringeworthy, puerile and immature.
I question the maturity of anyone LOL-ing at her comments.

This you Rose?

😂😂😂😮‍💨

🤔🍆😮‍💨

Ok?

I mean, I was just taking some melon, but ok
