Did you know Tescos was actually set up by a guy called John Tesco, and Curly Watts from coronation street opened the tesco in greystones some years back. BEAT THAT WITH YOUR RHYTHM STICKS.

By giving you absolutely no useful assistance (and in fact wasting your time) he has conditioned you to probably never ask any employee of Dunnes for help in future. If the process exerted on you is extened to everyone who goes in there then he and his co-workers will eventually find themselves not being bothered by people asking 'wheres my tortilla chips?' and hense will have a much easier job on their hands.

I worked in supervalu once, and I have to say that he is a genius. Nevertheless I was a model employee.:D

Originally posted by Pigman II BTW, shops deliberately move their displays around in order to disorient you, making you walk round staring at stuff you wouldn't normally look at leading to impulse purchases along with what you intended to get. If you the customer were to be told exactly where the item you are looking for is then there would have been no point moving everything around in the first place, would there?

You'd think people would cop that one

Shirley Temple Bar is marginally more attractive than the mingers that Angelwhore was flaming the Christina Aguilera thread(or was it the other one about women)with.
I mean.........what the fcuk were those things?

i worked in the same dunnes for years and never knew where anything was, usually i'd point in a random direction and say 4 lanes that way

Hey, I used to work in Dunnes!

Actually, that's a lie. I was employed by Dunnes. "Working" is really stretching the definition a bit too far.

I could picture you alright. An auld one comes up to you looking for the beans and you sending her into the beer and wine and the beans are right behind you.

RELAX

You'll give youself a heart condition with all that stress and all those tortilla chips.

Good call my man

Dampsquid · 21-01-2003 04:07PM

You are dead right, this tread shows us exactly what is wrong with the country. People who are too F*cking lazy to go and look for the crisps section. Expect everyone else to do everything for them.

Working in dunnes was the best "Job" i ever had. 6 hours of fun every night...

*NemesiS* · 22-01-2003 01:44AM

this country backwards???? yes indeed, this is exactly a prime example, u know why??? because ITS JUST ****ING CHIPS!!!!!
Who cares if you had an experience with a stupid **** who didnt know where the god damn chips were!!! Good for him if hes lazy, thick, a genius, whatever, is it worth writing and thereby wasting our time with????
If i had took the time to write a post that large on a matter like this id already know the answer to that very question, infact i have just wasted five minutes of my life reading and replyin to this thread!
we are all very, very sad people

I've another tale of rancid debouchary to add to this sordid soon-to-be collection...

Backwards fecking country!
I was in town today, looking to by myself a nice light lttle denim jacket. Nothing fancy, just a plain black denim jacket, with no frills, spills, or lime cordail... Something I could pick up anywhere, right? Wrong!

I went to about 50 different ****ing shops today looking for one...
Army Navy Store
Dunnes
Pennys
Roches
Topman
River Island
Carpenter
Twist
Deelys
Ryans
Geraties (Sp?)
Zinc
Mexx
Stalls in Eyre Square
And god knows how many other places...
:rolleyes:

OH MY!
Couldn't get it in any of 'em!
And dont anybody bother to suggest anywhere, as I've most likely looked there.

I mean, ****ing hell!
You'd think you'd be able to get just a plain black denim jacket ANYWHERE!?!?!?!?

****ing backwards!

Now, they recently gave dunnes a make-over and changed everything around, so I had to go and ask where a lot of stuff was.

I found this out from my sis (who used to work there) and an cousin (or somthing like that that is high up in Dunnes)... They change everything around every so often to that you have to search for things and that you will pass all the stuff you did not want to buy but end up doing so in the end. **** or what?

Backwards!

Mistakill · 22-01-2003 09:27PM

I was on the bus the last day sitting down in one of the seats that are WAY too small for somebody of my hieght and a guy standing beside me takes of his glasses and starts clean/wiping them in his jocks. He just reached in there and pulled out a nice baby blue pair of jocks.

That might teach me to stop using the buses in galway

I'm sure you'd end up very out of pocket, and with a big pile of dead muppets.

But I think the problem here, Elexes, is that the majority of muppets cant understand the humour and irony of calling a thread about little niggles 'Proof Of A Backwards Country'... You'd think that some of these muppet-hardened boardsters would cop on to it?

But NOOO!?!!?

Fecking backwards country.

elexes · 23-01-2003 01:06AM

i rember i posted a thread once ( not in boards ) neo nazi's and raciest comments

Karl Hungus · 23-01-2003 01:20AM

Shut up Merc, you ingrate.

Although, as Homer once said 'She's not famous, but she has a point'.
But in order for that to be relevant to you, go and put on a dress.

****ing backwards!

go to michael guineys - u can get a plain black denim jacket(just like from 1987) that washes well and last for ages for about €10 in the sale afaik.

thb. the shops in this country aren't great - better clothes in the stores on the continent for half the price.

I'm sure any creature, large or small, that resides on or in AngelWhore's body would be screaming to be free, to be honest
