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.

Enjoy

Would you like fries with that?

One day, God forbid, I'm going to walk into Mc Donald's, place my order and the cashier isn't going to ask the typical fast food questions, they'll say 'Have you got an ID?'

Yes, that's right. That's my prediction anyway.

Today, I'm in Poundland (again,) I picked up an item, which had an age restriction of 21 on it.

A pair of household scissors, can't say I was surprised, last time I was there I was ID'd for an ash tray.

Gets to the till, he scans it and rings the bell, (he's not able to confirm age.) His supervisor comes along, looks at me confusingly and goes 'Are you 21? Has it been that long since you worked here?'

 I laughed, "yeah, only 5 years! I'll try not to stab myself on the way out!"

But really, what the bloody hell is the world coming to?! Fair enough they're scissors, but REALLY?! An age restriction of 16 will suffice.

After all, people are having babies younger, yet they're forbidden to buy scissors to cut the bacon of a breakfast or an ash tray to dispose of their fag ends! But then, that's another story....
