The Blog Rat is part of my split personality of student journalist Stephen Humphries.

Reading these rants can bring comedy to lifes little niggles.

These rants are mostly one sided and make rediculous generlisations of people and life.

The majority of posts are revolved around Stephen's part-time supermarket job, where he works as a cashier on a cigerette kiosk.

Be prepared for some ill punctuation and the occasional spelling error.

Manners don't cost a penny

So I'm at work again, at cigerette kiosk.

*Fat man approaches* (Not Enlish speaking.)

Man: Giff Mehh, 10, Marlboro Red.       (Mannerless, by the way, that's him, saying "Give me.")

Me: *Points to 20 Marlboro Red* "No, we don't do them in 10's, only 20"

Man: "Pfft, what do you do in ten?"

Me: *Points* "10 Marlboro 'light'"

Man: Giff Meh

So I takes the ciggys and scan them, meanwhile, he just opened his hand, and dropped his entire change on the counter.

I'm thinking "AM I F*CK, HAVING TO PICK THAT UP?"

I didn't look at him, held my hand at the edge of the desk, and flicked each penny into my hand, slowly.

Man: errrr, ok?

Me: IGNORED!

No, it's not f*cking ok! It's my bloody pet hate that is.........

What frustrates me the most is, I'm not the type of person to have so much attitude towards these people.

Treat people have you expect to be treated. I would never open my hand and drop 20 odd coins on the table and expect a store assistant to pick them up, NO, it's NOT what we're paid for.

Manners don't cost a penny.
