Well I’ve just returned from the weekly shop and it was better this week.  We’ve identified a checkout operator who knows how to handle food.  She’s not slow, she’s not fast, she just does it right.  So there we were queueing up and the supervisor came over to tell us that the till next door was free.  We declined her offer and she just looked at us like we were bonkers!!  In the end we went over to her to explain that we like our food to be respected rather than thrown about.  But she just looked at us blankly and gave us a smile like we really were mad.  But then it was probably her speediness at the till that got her to the heady heights of supervisor!

Wife and child are going Christmas shopping tomorrow.  I’ve escaped it for now - but I don’t know how long I’ll be able to hold it off…..
