To be furious that a cashier at supermarket told me off for DD eating a bite of an apple...

[pavlovthecat]

... which I paid for?

Apparently, it is paid for by weight, so could I not let her do it in future? No please. Nothing else.

She is 23 months old. So charge me the extra f**king half pence then tosser!!!

It came to 21p. She had taken two 23 month old sized bites. Which is why I was buying it in the first place!

Oh! I thought duchesse made it up...

Onebat - You overanalyse like a wanker.

I think it's safe to say your inner loon OBM is now well and truly unleashed!

Erm, not sure what I did to deserve that SC. I was trying to explain to Habbibu, who said she was confused, how I came to be so rude about the Germans. It was a bit of a windy road, is all. But thanks.

Cashier.........get back to your lenghts!

I'd love some cider Any idea where I can pilfer buy some apples? I make my own btw so I'm also a MC wannabe.

Habibu - have some sense woman

Since when has oeuf rhymed with poulet

Get a grip

Literary form over science, Quattro?

Trisha with Xenia and Quattro? What? What is Trisha? Come to that, what is Xenia? I don't believe Xenia is a virus, although all that stuff about exterminating the working classes was a bit worrying.

Well Quattro if it's any consolation, from now on I will not waste the gift of speech in expressing my neurosis.

That Supermarket Cashier was rather rude.

And what is all this oeuf and boeuf? Nonsense on stilts. Still what else would you expect from your Frenchy. I haven't seen such bolleaux since I came across Rousseau's Discourse on Science and his Arse or whatever it was called...

Isn't the Supermarket Cashier allowed to be rude to common thieves?

No, because the supermarket cashier is working class and should know his place.

If that cashier was working class I'm the Queen of Sheba.

I think the cashier was probably motivated by fear rather than disapproval

Fear? Of what?

We had a customer go out the door in handcuffs tonight for stealing a basket of alcohol after we wouldn't give him a refund for his smashed bottle of value vodka his missus dropped at home (well he said it fell out of the bag, but why was the bag/bottle dry?).

Bexie - So only the sober customer is alway right? I am presenting a paper at the Retailers' Annual Conference in Birmingham in July on Customers Who Wear Boden and Drink - Should They be Treated With Respect or Disdain? Might I see you there?

Bexie, what has falling out the bag got to do with anything? The things people come out with!

SC, we're arranging a Birmingham get-together around then, you'll have to join us We promise not to steal anything.

Tinkerbel - Great. I'll come along if I may. Do you mind if I wear my supermarket uniform? If it's a day when I'm manning the bakery I'll be wearing a netted paper hat as well. I'll ask Cod to help me find some suitable shoes to match.

I know, if it had happened as they were going out of the door or just outside the shop, we would have given a refund.

I had someone phone up a few weeks ago complaining that his whiskey fell out of a bag the cashier had packed, when he got home. He was trying to blame the cashier for not packing it properly!

Is that you, Swedes?

I never said anything about exterminating the working classes. The poor will always be with us, is a universal truth. I simply said by your behaviour are we all known including theft whilst in a supermarket and that there is a definite class distinction on this thread between those who think it is fine to eat in public and eat food before you pay for it and those who don't.

But generally speaking only the middle classes embezzle...

Glad to see you here, by the way, Xenia. Hope you and family are as ok as you can be, if that makes sense.
