True, but they fire your shopping at you with such speed you need fast reflexes to pack it all in time before it falls off the counter.
And still get a dirty look for holding up the queue, sorry

Getting caught with your cock in the mustard jar is embarrassing.

You just got a happy comment by a friendly shop keeper. Let it slide, go buy some sweets.

A waiter rather than a shopkeeper - I was out at a nice romantic dinner and having a few drinks. I ask the waiter for another and he said, 'oh they're going down easy, aren't they!'
Eh. screw you.

Does that not just mean they're very tasty?

That's what I picked up from it.

Or top call from the waiter: sleazing safely behind a wall of ambiguity. :pac:

I was in my local chemists buying some rennies and some other type of heartburn stuff for my sick mother. It was a couple of days before Christmas, and the girl behing the counter says.........
" ha ha, ye planing on having some heartburn over the christmas, wha, dont drink too much now, ha ha ha".
I just paid her and told her it was for my sick mother, havent been in there since.
Fúcking silly dizzy bítch.

And this attitude is what confirms my belief that most customers are horrible c unts.
How about lighten up, she was just making small talk.

That's because youre meant to put the shopping into your trolley and pack over at the window. Why do some people not get this?

Sorry, carry on with the thread

Shop assistants who ask customers "are you alright?" when they should say "can I help you"

Worse; those who pounce on you when you've barely got one foot in the door. "Can I help you Sir?". I know they're only trying to be helpful, but give an old fella a bit of time, yeah?

Jesus Christ. Some people get offended by the simplest things.

Offensive is the shopkeeper asking you to get your knickers off and bend over whilst he slips his cock in your arse, all the while laughing because your mother is dead and that she was the town bike when she was alive.

I can be a miserable bastard at times but some people in here need to lighten the fuck up.

There was an Italian restaurant that my love and I had been to lots of times; I had never bothered with the garlic bread that they did as a starter (because I thought it was a bit unexciting), but then a friend told me I had to try it.

So one evening, went there after a lovely happy day out, and ordered the garlic bread, which turned out to be a disc of really thin pizza dough with garlic butter and lemon zest spread on top, all lovely and melty. I had just had the first bite, and was being enthusiastic in my praise for it, when the waiter (who was the son of the owner) was walking past our table. He stopped in his tracks, looked down at me, and very loudly and condescendingly said "It's only garlic bread madam".

We never went there again, and neither did the friend who had told me about the garlic bread. Silly man.

Was in a sex shop in Amsterdam with the OH this sleezy assistant came over and asked "something for the lady?" and vibrator in hand.

Why should they?

People in the services sector need to know their place. They're paid to work. Many also expect to be tipped.

Don't expect to be thanked for doing your job. The customer is the reason you have a job. You should be thanking them.

And professionality is always preferable to familiarity.

Overheard in a jean shop in dublin, there was a hugh big guy looking for pair of jeans in a particular size, shop assistant says, 'ah god, to be honest, you'd probably be better running down to Des Kelly's and asking them to run you up a pair'
Jesus felt so sorry for the guy.

but couldnt help cracking my ****e laughing at the same time, I know hell is a small place, i'll get mine too..

The same thing happened to my Father a few years ago when he went into the local shop and without asking him what he would like they just put down the smokes and news paper on the counter as if it was their right because they knew him.
He never went back as he felt that, as the saying goes Familiarity breeds contempt.

Manners cost nothing and are one of the most admirable qualities a person can have. Whatever you do.

Shopkeeper: would you like a bag for those?

Me: I have two fucking hands I can use!

That'lll teach the cunt, it was just the way he said it*

*none of this is true, just highlights the rubbish "offensive" remarks in this thread!

Did your mammy not teach you manners? I think its a good quality in a person when they thank and have manners and its something that I pride in doing myself. Theres nothing worse than some snotty pig who walks around expecting people to do things for them without even the basic courtesy of being thankful.

Thankful for what?!

I happen to say "please" and "thank you" in shops.

However, I don't think that shop workers have the right to accept/demand that customers say "please" or "thank you".

What does a customer buying something in a shop have to be thankful about.

The shopkeeper should be saying "thanks" for the customer's business.

I'd estimate that you've ingested up to 4-5 gratis gallons of piss, semen and saliva in your restaurant and cafe-attending lifetime.

Just a thought.

Obviously its dependant on the shop keeper being helpful and courteous
