its the suprise they have to pay for things that always puzzles me, they put all the shopping on the till, pack it all in the bags after its been scanned, chat to the person on the till about holidays, covid, the weather, there sons new car, where they get there hair done etc etc & then start looking to see where they might have put there purse like its some big shock they are going to have to pay?Then they get just in the petrol station before you. You use the card and put in 50 litres and get back in ready to go. But the person is edging up slowly to get it to an exact fiver. Slowly goes to the kiosk queue. Walks back equally slowly gets in car, puts on seat belt, fannies around putting away the receipt and slowly drives into the main store.
To your horror you end up just behind the same person on the till. Loads of stuff and a really slow packer. Eventually done and till assistant asks for the money. Morrisons are charging for their goods today. Complete surprise. More delay as the card is found for that (but not the previous petrol.) Transaction over but the shopper is still putting bags into trolley. Shopper puts card away and puts purse back into handbag.
Damn. I was trying to be non gender specific.
Until l mentioned purse and handbag, no one would have realised the person's who do this every time are not of the male gender.
