So money is tight and I get my son toys in the charity shops. The last couple of years I've noticed a massive decline in the quality of toys you can get in the charity shop. Even our local shop has put a sign up requesting no more broken toys... anyway, today after weeks of looking we found a local shop with a few decent bits. A box of Duplo for a tenner and a fisher price garage with a bag attached contains mismatched cars for £6.
It was a bit of a big spend for me and I almost didn't buy the garage but we'd been looking for one for a long time so I went for it. I was about to pay when another volunteer came out and started to look at what I was buying. She broke the garage into two halves and said "this is two separate items... yeah this bit is going to cost another £6 quid." I said it's one toy and one half (the ramp) isn't much good without the other half and it wasn't priced up as two separate items. She said "yeah well someone might want to buy only one part of it and it was supposed to be marked as two items but we forgot!" I said I'll have to put it back. By this point my baby was crying and I was hot, people were looking. She was cross and snapped "fine, you can have it for £8 all in!" I said no I can't afford it.
I was about to leave the shop feeling a bit miffed but wanting to get my baby sorted. She goes"fine then you can have it all together! Go on! Go on! Take it all together!" I felt so embarrassed. I said are you sure and she goes"yeah yeah it's just easier that way.
I struggled out feeling really bloody awkward. Was I wrong?
