Sign stuck to till:

APOLOGIES BUT THIS TILL CANNOT BE USED TO WEIGH FRUIT AND VEG. THE SCALES ARE BROKE.

SORRY FOR THE INCONVIENCE.

I was going to express my sympathies to the staff that their tills are suffering in the economic downturn... The missing 'en' in the final word seems trivial by comparison!

What supermarket?

inconvenient for them to be unable to spell inconvenience as well, no?

UnquietDad · 29/11/2008 12:49

bexie - It was Somerfield.
thumbwitch - yes, notice rendered exactly as written!

I used to have to make signs for the photo lab in Tesco, spelt correctly though!

I heard one of my colleagues say to a customer earlier "I aint got a clue what you're talking about"

last week a lady asked the gp's receptionist where she could change her child's bum!

Margo - at least your colleague was honest. There have been many times when I don't know what customers are going on about!

Slarty, that could have been my sister - she says things like that when she means nappy...
