    In a pub. Bloke comes in worst for ware. Polite and sits down. He stumbles so this woman says he can't be in here and says he should leave as he is a disgrace cos he is drunk. Irony is is that he is in a pub that sells alcohol and above him is a sign saying "nobody gets out of here sober" meanwhile her dog is barking and pissing me off, yet if I dared say anything against her and her dog who is sniffing my bag which contains cheese (like any up-standing citizen should have in his bag), I would be the bad person.

    Pharmacy staff. You cannot tell me it takes that long to but a little bottle into a paper bag. They will literally try and do anything else but serve customers.

    Actually there was nothing funny about it. Went to pay with chip and pin, because I have a £30 contactless limit, the machine wouldn't recognise my card.  called the member of staff over - one bloke doing the express checkouts, both the basket and trolley areas, I had a small trolley. He thought it was my card, I said it's only a month old, it's not worn out.

    After about 5 minutes he managed to get me to the PIN number part of things and fucked off. It would not accept my PIN, I eventually managed to get his attention. He came back, messed about again, I was like look I'll go and draw the cash out from the ATM. Cant do that he says, this is a card only checkout.

    He said he'd print me a suspended payment slip that I could take to  customer services, the machine duly issued some nonsensical garbled ticket, which lead to him looking inside the machine, which looked like some out of control origami experiment.

    The icing on the rancid cake was queuing up at customer services, first person at the kiosk was trading multiple winning lottery scratch cards for new ones. The next customer wanted to buy a carrier bag, for which the member of staff had to leave the kiosk  to go get one, because the carrier bags are hidden away from customers, due to continued theft. Handed my receipt over only to be told it wouldn't scan so the woman had to enter the details manually.

    Doesn't 'annoy' me but don't know where else to post this.

    Manze's pie and mash shop in Deptford is closing this month after being open for 100+ years. What a shame. Feel like these places should be preserved somehow as protected community assets.

    You’ve got far more patience than me. I’d have left the items at the till and fucked off after the machine wouldn’t accept my pin.

    how is that the stores fault? and how will getting a member of staff to return all that stuff to the shelf going to free up better customer service?

    I don’t think that either of those thoughts were at the forefront of his mind when making the comment. It wouldn’t be with me either. 

    I also would have just dumped it and walked out for what it’s worth.

    He said they only had one member of staff for two sections of express checkouts. That’s not enough. I’d say understaffing is the store’s fault.

    Designer anything that includes their name; sunglasses, clothes and shopping bags that you pay stupid money for you to advertise their product for free???

    I turn shopping bags inside out, refuse to buy RaeBurns as their name is on the front of the lens, always tuck my shirt in my trousers so that nobody can see the logo of my underpants etc etc.

    Not forgetting the other dozen or so pissed off customers standing at their express checkouts with red flashing lights, cos the bloke (being the only employee working the express checkouts) had to spend so much time on my payment problem, which was a store system failure and nothing to do with me because my card worked first time elsewhere in store. Morrisons treat their staff and customers like shit, complaint registered and escalated.

    I was shopping for my wife, otherwise I'd been in Sainsbury's using smart shop, which has yet to fail on me.
