Cynical is good @KT53 and it might be a misleading offer but I'm cynical enough to wonder (having had a few encounters with young checkout staff) if their GCSE was in Media Studies
Following on from my previous Jaffagate post, packs of 30 were at the till today at half price!
While I would agree that it works both ways @KT53, half the customers have been ignoring the arrows since they were put in, which doesn't help, along with ignoring all the other signs, and the announcements and then taking the huff when it's politely pointed out to them. I think many staff members probably think, 'sod the lot of you'.

@Hostafan1 - because I've been dropping her off and collecting her while there's no bus service, I've often been sitting for five or ten minutes in the car park, and the behaviour generally, of some shoppers appals me. One of the lads moving trolleys nearly got run over, while he was on one of the little crossings. They come in and drive like Lewis Hamilton -and often the wrong way along the one way routes. I'd be terrified if I was elderly, trying to negotiate it.
That pair I experienced last week were a particularly fine example.

Oh, dear Skylarks, I left mine in a shop once, went to work (not realising of course) got to the cash desk at the petrol station, no debit card, had put a tennas worth in, was treated like a mass murderer, got to work cancelled the cards, ordered new ones.Woman said I had commited theft and a criminal offence, I didnt drive off, she was so abusive I was nearly in tears. My grump of the day/week, trillionairs getting tax payers hard earned money to pay for the forloughing of their staff!
I left my card at a café in Cornwall and didn’t realise until I’d filled an almost empty tank at a little village garage some 20 miles away .., the lovely chap there found out the phone number of the café and rang them to check that they’d got my card ... they had phew! ... and then let me drive back to the café to collect the card and then drive back to the garage to pay for the petrol. A real gent 🌟

I filled up with fuel at a drive-through petrol station once and paid on my way out. Later that night the police were knocking on my door saying I'd stolen fuel and driven off. I showed them my receipt but they told me I'd still have to go and speak to the shop to get the charges dropped. There's no way you can leave the petrol station without paying as it's a drive-through so I was very confused. As it turned out they'd charged me for the wrong pump and had either taken twice for the same fuel or the attendant had stuck their friend's fuel onto my card.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
When my daughter was very young, I used to let her hand over the money and get the change in ********* Local. The receipt she was given never matched the goods I'd bought. I'm sure the staff were just saving paper😉
My grump of the day is the lack of online sales since lockdown. All the companies I regularly buy from are still sending me spam emails but not a single offer or discount since we all became captive consumers. I buy a lot of stuff in bulk packets when the prices are dropped, it doesn't work out much cheaper but saves a ton of plastic. Without the sale prices it often actually costs more to buy in larger quantities.

Also couldn’t do much gardening this morning before the blustery winds because one of my neighbours was smoking weed in their garden 🤬
