Im so furious about this and upset as i had my 18 month dd with me at the time.
basically was queing in a shop in town this morning, came my turn to pay, so i walked down the other end to pack my shopping, turned round and this man (approx age early seventies) wandered through past the till and stood there behind me!!, his wife also walked through and stood to the left of me and as i was about to key in my pin number, so i turned to this man and asked him politely to move back, which was ignored, so i had to key in my number with him stood right behind me.
after id done that, as i took my receipt i turned and said"i thought you were going to pay for my sbopping"(in a sarcastic voice), he just glared at me, so i said" its very intimidating when people stand behind you when you are paying, you should keep back off the till", his wife retorted, "oh shove off you silly woman!!" and he shouted at me, "oh why dont you just F$^^k off!!!!!" i was flabbergasted, but managed to quip back"oh, foul mouthed as well as ignorant", i was physically shaking when i walked out of there, to make matters worse, the checkout operator shouted after me"oi whats youyr problem!!"

Bloody Hell SC, how awful. What a bunch of ignorant twunts and to tell you that whilst you are with your child!

That was bad enough but personally I'd complain about the idiot behind the till, surely he shouldn't have got involved at all, fancy treating a customer like that - I would have trotted off to customer services straight away.

Do you know what - it's always older people that do that, it's happened to me loads of times too but when I say something they normally get back in the queue!

Sorry if I've repeated anyone - have to nip out so couldn't read the whole thread.

I hope you miserable lot "die before you get old" as James Dean famously said Wink, bunch of intolerant prejudiced 20/30 and 40 somethings that you are!!!

Not you Spacecadet!

handlemecarefully · 10/03/2006 15:20

just to clarify before the dogs start baying - that was tongue in cheek

paolosgirl · 10/03/2006 15:52

You'll see me on Grumpy Old Women on the telly in a few years - I'm getting worse as I get older (and I don't care). DS was wide-eyed with admiration the other day when I ticked off a (middle aged) taxi driver the other day for holding up all the traffic outside the school by parking IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SODDING ROAD and then talking on his mobile. DS went "wow Mum, you were just like a Policelady" Grin

"oh, foul mouthed as well as ignorant" Superb retort!! Well done! :o

Cam · 10/03/2006 18:19

But hmc, I am old so I must be prejudiced against myself Smile

I do object to being likened to a baying dog though, that's just rude

LadySherlockofLGJ · 10/03/2006 18:58

Sorry I spoke.

spacecadet · 10/03/2006 21:08

LGJ-your comment wasnt fair and it was upsetting.
