Feeling a bit shaky after an encounter in Sainsbury's

I just went to a Sainsbury's Local and picked up a bar of chocolate advertised at £2.40. It scanned at £3.00 and there was another shelf with the same bar at the higher price so I went to the counter, explained that I was confused about the price and the woman behind the counter went to check.

While she was doing that a woman who looked like a manager came up to me and very rudely told me there was "no need to get like that". I wasn't like anything. I was not rude, unkind, nasty or anything. I was perfectly calm. I told her I wasn't "getting like anything" and was merely confused. I was also confused by her attitude. She was very argumentative told me that "we make mistakes" which I acknowledged but she continued arguing with me saying"I've just told you we make mistakes". I hadn't even complained, simply asked for the correct price. I told her she was protesting too much at this point.

She was really confrontational at which point I said "you know what, let's just leave it" and I left the shop. I'm actually shaking and I don't know why. Her reaction was out of all proportion. I feel quite sick.

@brunettemic

You replied twice too?
Why do you care enough?

I replied twice to different posts, not twice to the same post.

What does this mean? Filling gaps is what a shelf stacker does isn’t it?

with any old crap, not what the shelf label says.

I used to work for Argos and it was well known in our company that Sainsbury’s staff are not very nice and a manager just come back from working at an Argos in a Sainsbury’s store , he was the loveliest man you could meet … funny , polite and always such a positive cheery person but even he said he thought people used to exaggerate when they said what Sainsbury’s staff are like especially to Argos staff but he said nope they were terrible and rude … he hated working with them so I suspect you also met one of the Sainsbury’s colleagues that are rude !

Generalising thousands of people is a bit of a stretch. I used to work at Sainsbury's, most of my colleagues were lovely, although some of the managers were twats (including the one who used to work in Argos.) I ended up working somewhere completely different with someone who used to work at Argos. The bloke who worked for Argos and Sainsbury's was her manager and then mine!
