okay I think this now deserves a longer play than the previous post…
Lets start with our morning trip to ASDA. Bored of salads from Tesco I decided to try one from ASDA instead (2 for 3 quid! Bargain!)
Said salads selected and at the self service till … its monday morning therefore i have no intention of having any sort of small talk with the bright and perky cashier… aftre struggling to scan the barcodes the machine, its its kinda electronic politeness, demanded taht i select a cashback amount… Normally i would look for the “Fook Off – Leave Me Alone” button, failing that the “No Thanks!” button will do. (Why is it that the machine can talk to ya liek its wiped u off its shoe but your response to it MUST end in Thanks or Please???).
So Anyways… Please consider whos writing this (me) and the time of day (8:10am)… the decision to have cash back or not is tricky enough with a sudden brain-fart on my part where, for some unknown reason, i WOULD like cash back! so not only have i found myself faced with a decision but i then go and give myself another… how much?
It seemed like an eternity before I managed to decide.. and judging by the look on the face of teh girl guarding teh self service, it was to her too!
So, decision made, I selected the amount required and waited.
And waited.
And waited.
Finally the till jammed up! And seeing the error message explode across the screen, I turned to call the Girl Guard for help… Gone!
She had fled her post to hide between teh regular checkouts. after calling her repeatedly (and the nice looking young lady at Satans Checkout next door giving me funny looks) i wandered over only to be stropped at because Girl Guard was “Gettin some one to ‘elp ya, alrite!”
Funny.. .thought thats what they put the college drop outs on self service guard duty for? to “elp ya” when teh machine eats your hard-earned!
Eventually, her supervisor came along and after much confusion (?) over how i could have 20 quids change after spending 3 quid and teh till saying 0.00 change, i managed to explain in very little words CASH BACK!
I wont go into teh difficulties of openin the cash box inside teh till to retreive my money (open latch and remove – tricky eh?!) but needless to say with a little bitchin and moanin, i managed to leave ASDA complete with my 20 quid and 2 salads! YAAY
on to work… OMG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
