my online shopping arrived this evening and i opened the door to be greeted by a pleasant-looking asian guy, quite good-looking around 30. we went through the usual ritual of 'this is not available, that has been substituted' etc to which i indifferently agreed, and he proceeded to start unloading the crates. even though it was dark, i saw him doing that lingering eye contact thing and basically ignored it. then, he specifically picked up a cucumber from one of the crates and held it in a certain way on a certain part of his anatomy and said to ds (aged 4) 'this is a present for mummy' - i carried on behaving indifferently (as you do) but i was completely flabbergasted. he asked me twice if i wanted him to take the shopping into my kitchen "or anywhere else" but i declined. tbh it was dark, i was alone with the dcs and i found it quite intimidating. i was not sure whether this is how they behave. i usually shop with Ocado.

AitchTwoOhOneOh · 26/01/2010 20:30

EleanoraBuntingCupcake · 26/01/2010 20:32

every little helps!

seriously, yes you should complain

juneybean · 26/01/2010 20:32

It'll be because he's asian no doubt

AmazingBouncingFerret · 26/01/2010 20:33

Blimey you're lucky, normally they charge you extra for that!

heQet · 26/01/2010 20:33

Go back to Ocado.

EleanoraBuntingCupcake · 26/01/2010 20:33

rofl

MissM · 26/01/2010 20:34

Shocking, but what has him being asian got to do with it?

EleanoraBuntingCupcake · 26/01/2010 20:34

you should see what the asda man can do with a couple of melons

Nancy66 · 26/01/2010 20:34

did he show you his meat and two veg?

kitsmummy · 26/01/2010 20:34

this is surely a wind up?

Paolosgirl · 26/01/2010 20:35

Are you bored tonight, tispity?!

tispity · 26/01/2010 20:36

"Shocking, but what has him being asian got to do with it?" um, nothing?

"Are you bored tonight, tispity?!" umm, no, are you?

lol Eleanora.

The "i was not sure whether this is how they behave" gives it away a bit doesn't it. 'they' being the lower classes yes?

Gave me a laugh anyway.

LynetteScavo · 26/01/2010 20:37

oh, yes, Tescos delivery people always like a sexual innuendo or two.

Do complain, though, or they will never raise their standards.

MissM · 26/01/2010 20:38

Then why say that he's asian if that's got nothing to do with it? Would you have said 'a pleasant-looking white man?'

tispity · 26/01/2010 20:38

"'they' being the lower classes yes?" no, people across the social spectrum shop at tesco as far as i know?

Maybe she was surprised that asian men look pleasant? They're such thugs usually

tispity · 26/01/2010 20:39

"Then why say that he's asian if that's got nothing to do with it" was just providing some context

You should have reciprocated his cucumber gesture with a couple of melons.
