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

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.

The OP is just LOVING how edgy she is.
Clearly desperate to get this thread into classics and be quoted on MN forever more.

Well, whatever. (not saying that disrespectfully, btw)
She’s like a dog with a bone and the patronising replies are just pathetic.
Obviously desperate to be noticed and notorious.

I’m unclear regarding your references to pin bears and Korean women? Please elaborate cilianmurphyhasbeautifuleyes. X

What a strange question? What if I am? Do you show your phone to everyone in your presence/ offer full narration? Very odd question.

Lool. You have absolutely no idea of who I’m with, what I’m doing or what my responsibilities are towards my grandchildren. Believe it or not, grannies are allowed to do non/ granny things too.

So whilst I agree that my incident was towards the extreme end of the spectrum, I can 100% guarantee that you’ve done/said things that you would be mortified for your kids to see/hear. We’re all human aren’t we.

"We’re all human aren’t we" - INCORRECT 😧

Are you going to apologise, OP?

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

Sneak back in I think in a few a weeks. I’m getting my hair colour changed anyway plus I’ll be in autumn attire ( I was in gym gear when it happened ). I do stand out though. I’m about 5’11”, I’ve got a slight limp and more teeth than a witch doctors necklace. My grey roots were also really bad on the day so I must have looked like a fucking angry wonky lanky badger.
