    I 100% agree with this. Feck mandatory national service. If everyone had to do at least three months in customer service then people would be much nicer to others in the industry.
    I have, and I don't agree with you.

    Stand up for yourself and tell him not to speak to you like that. Simples.

    You asked for €11 worth. Who does that? Most normal people order by weight.
    It's just as convenient for the butcher.

    Well actually I spend more than €30 there on each visit. Also, I certainly won't have anything good to say about them... and you know what they say!

    On each visit? Even the time you spent 11euro.
    If you spend 30 then get 3 euro back the butcher is probably only making 2 euro a week on you. He won’t miss you.

    Ah here.. it's a Sunday in May with nice weather outside and you're sitting on your phone cribbing about a grumpy butcher and a 10% discount.
    Go outside and hear the birdsong my friend.

    To thine own self be true

    No I mean >€30 after the discount.

    €2 a week? If that's how much he makes per customer, he'll need every penny.

    The OP dealt with the butcher in a very hamfisted manner.

    Is that a real €30 as in €30 or is it €30 as in €27? Do you see where this is all going wrong?

    Sparing a few seconds to explain something isn't worth the several hundred €100 I've spent there since last November.

    It was my first time being served by this particular guy at this butchers, and he actually seemed one of the more experienced guys there. There were a few other small things off about his demeanor before that. I wonder if he's even aware that they've just lost a customer because of him.

    The two top statements contradict each other.

    How come it's always new accounts posting weird and wacky stories. If I wasn't such a trusting fella I'd think it a wind up

    If €11 of stir fry becomes €10 of stir fry then how can it still paradoxically be €11 of stir fry.
    The OP was posing the Butcher an existential conundrum which it was unfair to ask him to deal with with a busy shop full of customers. This man is trained to cut up meat. Not trade riddles on quantum physics with scrounging, mangy students.

    It's Schrödinger's Stir-Fry. It's both simultaneously €11 of stir fry and €10 of stir fry at the same time and it doesn't become apparent until you examine it.
