I was in a local shop today buying a few bits, amoungst those a lucky dip for tonights lottery (you never know i might be the one!! though doubt it and feel probably a pound wasted!) anyway as we went to pay ben (who is 3 yrs old!) was holding my bank card ready to give the lady - it goes into the card machine anyway and the card is in my name, its me who was going to put the pin number in so therefore me buying it, surely only like someone holding my bag up til the point i get my purse out to pay but the woman refused to sell me a lucky dip as ben was holding my card, he wouldnt hand it to me as he knows he gives it to the lady when its time to pay so i told him to give it to her, but she wouldnt take it as wasnt ready for it!!!! am i being unreasonable in thinking this was all a little over the top, if ben was 15 i can see the issue that maybe i was buying it for him, or that it was his card or something but ffs he is 3 and just holding my card before i needed to put pin in etc. The whole fuss made it a joke and a queue formed as it took a good few minutes as her first response to me asking for the lucky dip was sorry i cant sell you that, i was like.. why??? (i am clearly old enough so never thought of this as a possibility!) then she said as he was holding card etc etc so all in all took about 5 minutes before we left the shop from me asking for the lucky dip as even me holding the card with ben was not good enough!!!!! It wound me up a little am i getting annoyed about nothing or was this just a pathetic assistant who took the rules far too literally, i mean me and ben sharing holding the card is surely ok?????
