(17 Jan 2016, 5:32 pm)GMitchelhill Working in Wrekenton today, I decided to nip to the Co-Op before I started, bloody took 5 minutes to get served. Queue was 10 people long when I left too.
Could be worse, somewhere recently I got stuck behind someone who when they were placing their items on the till and went to go and get something else. Not the first time that's happened and it won't be the last.
The place that is really grinding my gears at times right now is the Poundland in Eldon Square, always get stuck their for a while and they always seem to be out of fizzy drinks, about the only thing of that sort they had the other day was Tango Apple. A woman got quite cross with me in there the other day as I went to where all the bottled drinks where only to find there was nothing I wanted in their so because I was in a bit of a rush especially as the queue was growing larger by the second I was dashing to grab three cans and she was not amused by this, she wasn't even anywhere even close to me at the time!
I was going to grab a can of Pepsi or whatever in Savers in the Gate at Durham yesterday as I only wanted one drink so I ended up buying two 500ml bottles in Poundland because I wasn't waiting in the long queue in Savers.
Worst queuing incident recently was in JD Sports at the Metrocentre on Black Friday where I'm convinced that the woman behind me was trying to jump ahead of me in the queue but I wouldn't allow that, in the end I ended up spreading my legs out like I was a flaming starfish and also had to stop myself from confronting her as she smashed herself into the bag with my camera in about four times!
Worst examples of customer service I ever received included someone saying "sorry, I went to the retard school" to me, a person with autism, the morons in the Carphone Warehouse in Darlington Town Centre and two members of staff in BANK at Sunderland, where they talked between each other instead of serving me, after about three minutes or so, I walked out!
