Morning team.
Nice day yesterday.
A little bit of normality, for better or worse, I quite liked it
Popped to B&Q.
Click & collect ( panel )
Realised shop was open.
( Had been using local store, help them through )
Suspect shopping at B&Q had been as open as before, hadn't even considered it
Click & collect ..mmh
Queue up, as ya do ..
Get to my turn
4 staff at till...4.
ALL walk away as I step up
No "sorry won't keep you a minute"
Peeved to say least.
Eventually one seems shamed enough to come serve before I go full INDIGNANT Customer
( Wasn't my best visit, got to be honest )
When I spotted store open to shopping I thought
"Tool Section...Yee haw. "
Click & collect can wait While I browse male equivalent of the shoe section.
I buy some other bits, paint, brushes, etc pop em in basket, and head for tills
( Knew I don't need a trolley. So I thought
)
Go queue.nicely spaced out, marshalled too, so pretty impressed....until
Two poor lads, lacking spatial awareness confused 2 metres with a foot..bless em .( I blame the schools
)
Anyway, a little confusion .chap in front believes he's called forward
Advances as do I
But OH NO..calamity..it's a mistake
So he retreats, as do I.
Cue "careful bro, nearly stepped in me "
Mmhh
Had already marked him down for poor spatial skills.
Deducted another mark for lack of situational awareness.
But did apologise.
however suggested at 2 metres he'd not have been in such danger
(sure he's still working that out.)
So by time I get to till, I'm a little ruffled but polite .
"Oh, can I have a bag please," before I tap card payment.
"No. got none"
I guess all my exercising has worked better then expected
He's seen my muscles and confused me for a circus juggler.
"Any idea how I'm meant to carry all this to car? "I asked.
Turns out he's just back after 3 weeks off
So I stuff as much in arms & pockets as possible, and looking liked I've robbed store pass by dozing security back to car, to drop off goods , before going back into store to collect panel ..and the staff magic show, as they all disappeared..
So all in all , freedom came with its usual cost
Good service poor service.
nice guys n idiots
SNAFU, I think they used to call that
Note to self .
Must, MUST work Harder on those social combat skills
Repeat after me: Smile AND be nice.
So survived freedom day 1.
Not quite the zombie apocalypse, but crowd scenes pretty close to it
Life. Everywhere you looked.
Wonder what day 2 brings.
