Itâ€™s been a bad day so last rant! Dual carriageways onto roundabouts where the inside lane is turn left only. The right hand side lane always has a long queue of cars to go either straight on or right. This would be fine if people would actually pull out, instead of waiting for some sort of invitation to do so from a higher being.

I think you have missed the point my friend, please reread the first few lines.
I know they donâ€™t get paid much, and that they donâ€™t really want to be there, but just once in a while iâ€™d like to get through a purchase without feeling that iâ€™m interrupting the busy life of a member of shop staff.
I bet you are a single male, with no children running around your feet? If I am right you will have a very big shock if one day you too have a family. To think that it is ok to wait around and be treated like a second class citizen, when all you want to do is get in and get out ASAP before one of the kids kick off.
I will also point out that it is the customer paying your wages, and with attitudes like yours god help us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And your employer.

I’m afraid I have to disagree, the pay is appalling, the work I tedious and boring, the management are more incompetent than the staff because the staff tend to be well educated college or uni students whilst the management are “last resort for a career” candidates. This leads to a resentment of the job and therefore anything that makes it less pleasant, i.e. you. To work in a shop for several years really does numb the conscientiousness of the assistants and I can truly forgive them being rude as a lot of customers are making their rubbish day worse. With their irrelevant questions and demeaning statements, expecting them to be experts of their department, when in reality their placement was down to chance and knows no more about the “for example: beers, wines and spirits” then anyone else. Fortunately for myself I have always managed to stay polite even to rude customers, this is only because however, I always knew soon I will be out of here, as soon as I finish uni, for others, the outlook is not so good, and I for one sympathise. After all, its a few hours a week max for yourself, but 37.5 hours a week for the staff. Give them some slack and get a thicker skin my friend.
