Just been into a shop for an energy drink on my way into work, and was behind a bloke int queue. . "Can I have 20 regal king size please? And 10 of those gold lamberts for the wife.. no, not them.. are they gold? hang on (shouts to wife waiting int car what fags she wants) Yeah, them gold uns. And er, can I have a ten pound o2 top up.. cheers.. Oh, and a lucky dip for tomorrow.. in fact, and a Euromillions love.. And er, one of those number 7 scratchcards please.. and a number 3 an all love.." . That's as far as I recall as I used the self service thing. He's probaby still there. Annoying lovely person.
You must be in the same queues as me Andy because that describes my usual 'nip to the shop for a sarnie and a bag of crisps' experience.
The ones that piss me off is them who walk past 3 cash points on the way in then **** about trying 3 cards at the checkout and not been able to remember which pin number goes with which card, complete and utter kunts
Its the old folk that do my head in, wait until total comes up on't till, faffs about in bag looking for purse, then sorts out all the shrapnel, then after about 10 minutes pissing about just pulls out a tenner anyway.
I suppose it's the same with those people in pubs where you have to go to the bar to order - they don't know what table they're at, what side orders whoever has accompanied them wants or what they want to drink. Same in McDonalds - you've got all of the menu lit up on the wall in front of you as you're queuing but people only decide what they want when they're at the til. And in Subway - seen an increasing number of people (students generally) just say "can I get a foot long". There are two things wrong with this sentence. Firstly, how about telling the poor lass on the counter what you want on it? And, "can I get", suggests that you are going to retrieve it yourself. If I'm at someone's house and say, "can I get a glass of water", it would be ridiculous for me to stand there and wait for them to get it unless they offered? Yes, I eat a lot of fast food.
People who park up to get some petrol but leave their car there while they do their weekly shop. Argh!
Usually happens in the pub - "can I have a pint of bitter please", come back, "another pint of bitter", come back, "a pint of lager", come back, "oh and a guinness" (so that takes ages - here's a tip, ask for guinness first)....."oh and what crisps do you have?"
To be fair, the actual menu in mcdonalds with all the options is always on the wall next to the tills - very annoying. no idea why they dont have more menus about - must slow it down a lot.
