Good Friday at work was not exactly good at all. It was busy enough so the day flew by, but once again I was handed a reminder that public honestly believe those who work in supermarkets do so because they are too retarded to work else where. God forbid we work there because we enjoy it, or its convenient and local, or it pays pretty well and the share schemes make our bank managers love us. No no, clearly we work there because we are stupid. This was proven today when the following conversation took place while I was busy filling the dairy shelves. (During the conversation below I will refer to the other lady as customer but please bear in mind she in clearly smarter than me and better than me because while she shops in a supermarket she certainly does not work in one)
customer - excuse me, can you tell me where I will find the belinis
me - I'm fairly sure we only do them at Christmas but if we do have them they will be in the fish cabinet
customer - the fish cabinet?
me - yes, its just next to the fish cabinet ... shall I show you?
customer - do you even know what a bilini is????
me - (lost for words I give her my best "wow do I look that stupid" look)
customer - they are little pancakes for savoury appetisers
me - (at this point politeness is replaced with blind cheek and sarcasm) ooohhh they sound lovely ... what would you put on top of them
customer - smoked salmon
me - hhmmmm makes sense to keep them near the fish then wouldn't you say?!
With that the customer strides off and I am once again left loving the daily banter in the work place!
Ok .... so maybe it wasn't such a bad Friday after all!
