I Went to get a coffee earlier in Waitrose as a freebie.Put my cup under the thingy pressed "go" on the coffee machine and then just stepped away for a slight nano second.Then on my return to the spot which was just 2 foot away .A lady who watched it finish filling up with me who had muscled in to the filling area said to me ."Is that yours"? (I thought why don't you do one you simpleton it's obvious it's mine and she knew it was .I didn't like her interfering, stupid auroa/attitude) so i said "Well, who do you think it belongs to"? She said to me do I have to be so unpleasant I said "Did she have to be so unpleasant standing in my way to access my coffee which was obviously mine and i thought did she have to ask me such an inane question that she already knew the answer to.I took my coffee and said "Thank you and good evening"
Your views please?TYIA

Sorry I lost the will to live. Why be rude for the sake of it though?

NoArmaniNoPunani · 23/11/2013 21:13

You were rude, especially to refer to someone as a simpleton

ICameOnTheJitney · 23/11/2013 21:14

YABU. Totally. How was SHE to know whose it was since you weren't there??? Two feet is not a nano second....you are meant to stay there whilst it fills. She never stood in your way as you were not there.

Storm in a coffee cup by the sound of it.

Maybe that was her polite way of telling you to get a bloody move on. Seeing as you had filled your cup, left it there and started doing other stuff.

WorraLiberty · 23/11/2013 21:21

"Is that yours?" = "Please stop faffing around and move your cup".

YWBU and rude too

ShakeRattleNRoll · 23/11/2013 21:26

Pinkpinot · 23/11/2013 21:28

You need to get over to the 'irritable' thread!

ShakeRattleNRoll · 23/11/2013 21:28

Ywbu, I get my freebie when I go in there too. Are you one of those people who like to pick fights in supermarkets because you're bored?

ScooseIsLoose · 23/11/2013 21:33

Have a Biscuit to go with your Brew

Sparklingbrook · 23/11/2013 21:33

Our Waitrose has no cafe. Sad

TheGreatWizardQuiQuaeQuod · 23/11/2013 21:35

"is that yours" is just code for "will you shift it please" isn't it?

Is that your bag on that seat ? = shift it, I want to sit there
Is that your coat over that chair? = shift it, I want that chair
Is that your coffee in that machine = shift it, I want to use the machine

It's not a big deal. You just say "yes, it is" grab it and walk away.

Our cafe has no waitrose. HmmHmm
