Called customer a 'tit'

OK, so IWBU to call her a tit but here's why. Smile

Went to Tesco - had £22ish until Tuesday and a voucher to save £4 if spent over £20 and £3 clubcard points. So add up as I buy. Came to £21.34 but some reduced items reduced further at time of scanning so scanned at £17 something - cashier let me go 3m to freezer section and grab some boxes of ice creams. (was about 10 seconds)

Cashier rang them through but 1 didn't register and the amount came to £19 something. I realised this was wrong and quieried it to the puzzled cashier who then pressed something and till registered I'd paid £20 - not my fault. And to be fair not really cashiers and she was as puzzled as me!

I looked at printed receipt and that's when I noticed the missing item and told cashier so she called for assistance.

Customer waiting started shouting at me that I should have added up shopping first - I did (explained about reduced further with apology).

Customer started shouting at me again stating 'she had plans that afternoon and didn't have all day to wait for me' I mentioned I had plans too but always plan enough time in case things at supermarket take longer. Any way she continued being rude to me - can't remember exactly what she said.

So we're waiting for assistance (about 2 minutes) and she starts shouting at me again. Ending up telling me I had held her 15 minutes now and I should sort myself out. My DS - bless him gave her the Hmm look, and I told her to

'stop being a tit and to buy a new watch as hers obviously didn't keep good time' Blush

Not my finest moment but at least my voice was quiet!

Great Customer service from tesco who charged me £16 and gave me the unscanned ice cream box for free - due to my inconvenience and the fact they couldn't fathom out to to correct the mistake. Grin

People lose all sense of perspective as they walk through those automatic doors at the supermarket don't they? and all manners are left in the glovebox oftheir car as they lock up.

manners cost nothing, so the woman had to wait 2 minutes, big fucking deal.

and being the person who works in one, even when you apologise for the hold up to the person waiting, person behind, queue, ring for another till to be opened, bend over backwards and piss into the wind etc. It's still a problem and you still get 'good grief'ed at

and the rude customer who thinks they are incrediblybetterthanyaou who tells you they will not be coming back here again etc because they had to wait for the massive amount of time that it took for the gnat to break wind, it's such a shame you can't say 'hurrah' and do a happy dance

I may have stood behind you and glowered (or even had a little Hmming contest with your DS) but I certainly wouldn't have got into a "titting" exchange! :)

Agin I did laugh when the CS tills person came over to assist and the cashier said how patiently I was waiting as was the next customer. Hmm. The cashier was really intimidated by her because of her attitude.

me on the other hand just said quietly - no she isn't!
