Before you start reading and thinking this is going to be some political or philosophical commentary about what is wrong with society - please remember this is me posting it lol:
I popped along to the shops this afternoon but stopped off at the bank first to get some money out. Went into the shop and got my goodies , waited patiently in the queue and then the shop girl totted up my bill " £5,58 please " she said fairly courteously.
So I opened my purse and got a crisp £10 note out. Then also knowing I had lots of change asked if her she needed the 58p change ( thinking this would make life easier).
So she puts the money in the til and then hands me my receipt and says thank you.
" Excuse me - sorry ...but I gave you a £10 note" I said.
" Oh no you didn't madam - you gave me a £5 note" she curtly said.
I went on to explain I had just been to the bank and the bank no longer dispenses £5 notes from the cashpoints and why on earth would I ask her if she wanted the 58p to make life easier - if it actually cost that.
"Oh no madam - I think you'll find you are mistaken . We can check on this but it will have to be when we cash up tonight and so we will need to take your details and ring you tomorrow. But we are normally right about these things "
So this was when I lost it evil: evil: evil:
I asked to see the manager and then explained what happened. He politely asked the cashier if I had offered her the 58p after I had given her the note and did I actually say what I had.
"Oh yes " she says "but that doesn't mean she didn't give me a £5 note - I have opened the til and there are £5 notes in the til"
By this time people behind me in the queue were getting quite impatient redface: -
Then manager just turns round and says and I kid you not ......
" Just give her the money you still don't know which colour is which "

I just thought I would clarify before those sorts of assumptions were made like whistle:

rubschin:
There is a scam using £20.00 notes.
Man goes to the bank, asks for £100.00 in new £20.00 notes.
Man and accomplice go to shop. Accomplice buys something cheap, gives the assistant one of the £20.00 notes
Man is two or three customers behind his accomplice. He goes to the till with something cheap, say £2.50 and gives the assistant a fiver.
Assistant gives £2.50 change.
Man waits until the till is closed and says 'I gave you £20.00' Assistant says 'No, it was a fiver'
Man say 'I've just been to the bank' and takes out wallet and produces £80.00 in new notes with consecutive numbers.
Assistant checks till and lo and behold there is a £20.00 note in the till with the next corresponding number.
Assistant apologised and gives man £15.00

Similar performance from THW this morning ~ 'bout a school shirt.
Sorry sweety but they only get washed if they are NOT left inside out under your bed.
PUT THEM IN THE FECKING WASHING BASKET IN THE BATHROOM! SIMPLES!

Oh Snoops - I wholeheartedly agree
The Brats skirt wasn't in the washing basket ....wasn't lying on her bedroom floor.....wasn't drying......wasn't in her wardrobe hung up ( the least likely of places any item of her clothing would be found tbh !! )
Oh no ...... her school skirt was in her suitcase eeek:
She had got this out the other night to start organising her holiday apparel noooo:- when I suggested this wasn't a good idea just yet she adamantly parked it in the middle of her room and there it has stayed evil:
