I've never known you to be argumentative with people deliberately. Your opinionated but that's hardly the same is it.

all we need now is some evidence of disability and we'll have a pc full house
 
and I wonder if either are a jobsworth

careful, we are in danger of taking this thread off topic with banter
 
I'm sure the mods won't allow any banter on this thread. After all it's more than their jobs worth :lol:


Did you see what I did then.

Sometimes I crack myself up. :|
 
my missus dosnt drink tea or coffee so if she wants a hot drink she just has boiled water, last year we were in the park down at my brothers house in newbury, theres a small cafe there so we stopped for a drink and a cake each

i ordered a couple of cokes for the kids a couple of coffees for that adults and a boiling water for her...sorry we cant sell boiling water because of health and safety:thinking:, i asked whats the difference between a coffee and a hot water...but they were adamant that they woudnt sell me one, so i did the next best thing and ordered her a cup of tea, no milk or sugar...or tea...certainly sir :eek:

somewhere there is a village missing an idiot :shrug:
 
I witnessed the following exchange in a tearoom last year (not one of mine i hasten to add) - the customer was in front of me in the queue

Customer : Could I buy a single biscuit please

Assistant: No we only sell plates of 6 biscuits

Customer : look, my father is having chemo, he says a plate of 6 will make him feel sick, so could he just have a single one

Assistant: No we only sell them in sixes

Customer ; I'm happy to pay for a plate of 6, but can I just have one and leave the other 5 with you

Assistant : No, I've already said we only sell them in sixes

Customer : Fine, give me a plate of 6 , I'll just save the other 5 for later

Assistant: we can't let you do that , all food has to be consumed on the premises

Customer : *exasperated* fine i'll just throw the other 5 away

Assistant : We can't do that sir, just leave them on the plate if you dont want them

Customer :have you not listened to a word i've said ?

At this point I couldn't take anymore, and interceded, and bought a plate of 6 biscuits, and gave the other customer one of them :shake:

The world has gone mad.. I fear what it will be in 18 yrs time when Samuel (sitting on my leg now) and watching this (sort of) and Amelia (asleep) will havwe to deal with with regards to H&S / Policies etc....
 
The assistant sounds like an a*se. Who in their right mind in that situation wouldn't just give the fella a biscuit FOC and wish his Dad well?

Because they might have a complete idiot for a manager, who doesn't care about such stuff, and therefore it becomes:

"More than my job's worth" - in the eyes of the manager
