GWS Bill. I'm beginning to think you have some odd fondness for hospital food

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Being barked at to take my helmet off before I go to the checkout in Lidls.
A please would have been nice instead of the scowl I got - I decided to not buy what I was in for and left... |

Most armed robbers come in and demand the money straight away, and arrive with at least one mate  I understand their policy, but doesn't hurt to say please. Not everyone wearing a crash helmet is an armed robber, especially when you've been wandering round the aisles and decided to buy something.   I would have done the same as you

I've only been refused once in 14yrs and I'd already got the fuel, they refused to accept payment for it, until I pointed out the CCTV would show me attempting to pay so if I walked out then no offence (theft) had been committed. The senior person who arrived was apologetic and accepted the payment with enthusiasm. Funnily(while out cycling years later) a staff member in the same garage asked me if I had any fuel, "No mate just this mars bar" his colleagues were highly amused
