I don't abuse anyone. Both my girls are in retail. I always start with "I wonder if you could help me". Sainsbury's,older lady stocking shelves,then asked her,if she could tell me where the long life milk was. Her reply"where it's always been"I consider that damn rude. I got abused verbally by patients and relatives,and physically many times by the patients.
That is very rude, @Nanny Beach. I was very cross with a young lad in the supermarket once. I was trying to buy a box of cakes, and all of them were about 6 weeks out of date! After sorting through them trying to find some in date ones, I put the others on a side shelf and informed a young assistant that all the boxes were out of date. His response, that’s probably why they are on the side shelf. Informed him in no uncertain terms that they were only on the side shelf because I’d put them there to save other customers from buying them. He did go a bit pink, but I didn’t get a sorry.
Ergates, the "response" at Waitrose customer service desk about 4 years ago was exactly the same,and delivered with folded arms, and a curled lip,and "Is there anything else I can help you with". ( She hadn't actually 'helped' me with anything) Anyone who has done psychology or knowledge of body language knows the meaning of that!
This morning was the first time 'Asbo' delivered; I'm now experimenting after Tes&Co's epic failure yesterday.
Asbo's test I'm afraid was a fail after 4 subs (acceptable ones though) and being half an hour late (wouldn't mind so much except my slot started at 7am)! Their saving grace was salvaged by the nice delivery driver, a young lad that had a cheery smile, and looked me straight in the eye while saying sorry for being late. This means they'll get another chance
Did think their website is a lot better than T's, many more slots available, and their 'delivery pass' was only £6pm as opposed to T's 'delivery saver' at £7.99pm. (To quote Tes&Co "Every little helps!")
To be fair on T, I have been with them for decades, and when we spent our 5 years exploring over 3k miles of the inland waterways system in our narrowboat, they delivered to many strange places, such as remote bridges, pub carparks, and on wet soggy towpaths - all they needed was a postcode and instructions. They never let us down once. Yesterday was the first time they failed to deliver, and us now in fixed address. Also it has to be said; they kept us going during lockdown, awkward as it was, we still managed to get a T delivery.
We are still trying to isolate (OH's health is compromised) therefore we're trying to keep physical shopping to a minimum so a home delivery is important to us.
I pay tesco £36.00 per year, I can have 12 deliveries per a month for that. I’ve never been let down by them in the past 6 years, all through COVID when times were hard at the beginning, even toilet rolls and pasta😀
I've never had to send anything back because of bad quality, subs are good, I’ve had many better named brands for the same price I would have paid for tesco own brands.
If there’s something I’ve ordered by mistake they take it back and the money returned very quickly.
I suppose its based on the area where you live, maybe I’m lucky living here.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
I cooked one of the steaks from my free organic meat box last night. It's been over two years since I've last eaten a steak and nearer five years since I've cooked one. I had to dig the old griddle pan out of the back of the cupboard and clean it before I could use it. It seems cooking steak is like riding a bike though and it was cooked to perfection, nicely seasoned and served with some excellent chips and a fine glass of porter on the side. It's very hard to convert to vegetarianism when meat tastes this good.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I saw an item yesterday that made me very annoyed. It was a list of supermarkets by how many complaints they'd had. I'd like to see what the actual complaints are, because if they're the sort of thing that people complain about at my local Asda, then no wonder people get the wrong end of the stick. The woman who complained that there were no extra large eggs when she'd been told there would be some, is just one example, among many. During the pandemic too. She was lucky there were any bl**dy eggs at all. Self entitled bint.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

A woman I worked with came into work with a tale of her boyfriend embarrassing her in front of her veggie friends. Apparently they were out one evening when her boyfriend said "I love vegetarian food - long pause - especially with a nice steak".

The type of person who would complain about having nothing to complain about. I think we all know at least one.
