can I please express my severe hatred for the thai place round the corner for giving me beef panang instead of tofu panang. I ordered, loud and clear, and got my tofu confirmed 2 times. argh.
While I'm at it, to the dude in the corner store: Congratufuckinglations for managing to sell me a drink without saying a single word, good on ya, have a great day, you deserve it!
edit: thanks I feel better now

that's rare for a supermarket..
sainsbollocks round here, you can't stop them running their mouths off! even the deaf/dumb checkout woman, she has a card with all the "hello, how are you today? would you like help with packing? have you got a nectar card?" shit written on it.
Aidan, you could email a complaint to tesco...you might get something.
I complained like that once to sainsburys about their staff failing to grasp the voucher system (and therefore pissing me off every time I tried to use them) and they gave me £5 to spend on "something I particularly enjoy"

I found the correspondence:
Dear Sainsbury's Personage,
Why do Sainsbury's checkout staff look at me as if I've come from outer space every time I attempt to use my Nectar vouchers? I recently redeemed some points and now have a large amount of vouchers which I use regularly, but the rigmarole of using them at your Tooting Broadway store is tedious as the staff seem to have no idea how to deal with them.
It's disappointing but this has made the retail experience at Sainsbury's Tooting needlessly difficult and time consuming.
Your faithfully,
Mr. RPM (The Beast)I soon got this:
Dear Mr. RPM (The Beast)
Thank you for your email. I understand you have been having problems redeeming your nectar vouchers at our store in Tooting. I can certainly appreciate your frustration, especially as you have a large amount of voucher’s.Please let me assure you that it is our duty to serve our customers well. We expect our colleagues to be helpful and courteous at all times and we place a great deal of emphasis on this in our training. I am therefore sorry that we have let you down on this occasion.
I have passed you comments on to Julian Buckman, The store manager at the Tooting store. He asked me to pass on his sincere apologies to you. He assured me he will speak to his colleagues to ensure they are all aware on the procedures for accepting nectar vouchers.
I have also added 1000 points on to your nectar card to make up for your disappointment. This is equivalent to £5.00. The points will appear on your card within 72 hours. I hope you can use this on your next visit to treat yourself to something you particularly enjoy.
Once again, thank you for your email. I hope you will continue to use and enjoy Sainsbury’s products and services.
Kind regards
Laura Hoyle
Sainsbury's Customer ServicesI replied:
Dear Laura,
Thank you very much for your prompt reply and kind gesture.
I think I may purchase some items from the meat counter with my Nectar points, maybe some beef or a nice cut of offal...if they have any.
I shall very much enjoy that, with some vegetables. and maybe a case of champagne.oh, and some olives (not the ones with the stones taken out and replaced with those red bits that look like the ends of Bic biros)
Best Regards,
Mr RPM (Slightly less beastly, but nevertheless, still rather prickly)I'm still waiting for a reply, it was some time ago..
but I got the points and spent them on stuff.it pays to have a little word sometimes, it doesn't hurt

don't know what's worse to be honest, dead silence or them yapping away.
On that sainsbollocks note, my girlfriend is convinced one of the cashiers have a crush on me. Just cause I was brought up to an polite guy, who says hello when I meet someone, doesn't mean they can go off and start fancying me... But maybe he can get me some extra nectar points? (ew, you can interpret that to something well nasty)

they don't fuck with me anymore, and the miserable old bat on the till that gave me shit seems to have gone.
it IS, however, the worst supermarket in London. always packed full of fuckwits who can't seem to move faster than a dead slug with aids. with narrow aisles and fuck-all produce (despite there being surly twats constantly "re-stocking" ie: getting in my fucking way), and queues for the few checkouts that they can be bothered to open.
on top of this they seem to think that the store is fifty times the size and have provided an appropriately sized car park and number of trolleys.
I once joked to a trolley-"keeper" that they must store all the trolleys for every sainsburys in the UK right there, as there was obviously no need for all of them in this tiny store.
He didn't see the funny side, I think all his time was being taken up by remembering to breathe.

hahahaha :)
I hate Sainsburys too. It's quite expensive and all their products just seem to me to be pitched at upper-middle class types. I liked Morrisons back home, but the nearest one to me in Shepard's Bush is terrible. The staff seem several brain cells short and the shelves are always empty.
I hate supermarkets that have shit vegetarian/vegan selections.
-
• #190
Morrisons are shite.. glad they closed here.
Waitrose is the best. I know this because we have real supermarkets in Oz to compare these with and not fscking Tesco Metros.
Unfortunately it's also one of the most expensive. -

Cuntish woman and a bearded japs-eye in a car and a van respectively tail-gating me and/or honking. While in a bus lane, which they shoudn't have been in, before attempting to overtake me (and nearly causing a crash with the other law-abiding cars). Thank you very much for making me exert myself more than i normally would have in an effort to catch up and force-feed you your own car/van.
Oh and "fuck off" to the hybrid riding pillock who undertook me while i was pulling in and slowing down at a zebra crossing. I wish you'd crashed into me, and that your neon jacket had caught fire and melted itself to your face.

i got some packing tape today, said "sorry for poping in at close, have a nice night." and the shop redneck said "no thank you" what the fuck does that mean?
-
• #194
didn't he say "no, thank you"
as in meaning he is subservient at all times.
or was he just being a pillock?*
*I just borrowed that "pillock" from asm up there ^^ I'll give it back later

I think he borrowed it from my dad, it was one of his more common terms of endearment for me.
