To know more than supermarket staff

In typical middle class way, I was shopping in waitrose today, fancied a treat (dairy free due to smallest ones allergies) and I'm stood musing in the chocolate aisle.
Bigger son comes up and asks what I'm looking at, i reply I'm choosing my vegan chocolate darling.
Nice looking shop assistant steps over (to help I assume) and says it sorry we don't do vegan chocolate.
Yes you do, I reply, that one, that one, that one (pointing at the relatively large range) I'm just trying to choose. Oh, she replies. I don't think they are vegan.... So of course I have to prove her wrong, showing her the vegan stamps and ingredients. Then she says 'well they must have come in on my day off yesterday'.

Now, I am the last person to back down in a fight so I get it, but what happened to the customer is always right? (Which I was, obviously) I know Iabu to think a supermarket assistant will know all the stock in the place, and I feel I've done my bit to educate, but now feel like a right showy offy know it all! But seriously, she shouldn't have bothered saying anything if she had nothing helpful to say!

Hi all, Quite a few reports about this one but we would suggest that if we react this way every time anyone posts a bit oddly on here we're tugging at a very unravelly sweater. Grin
