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

Are you stupid?

ONE month on from the installation of the sliding doors and the confusion at our kiosk is still around. Instead of seeing the disgusting product, customers are now faced with the task of using their inititive, brains and eyes and we all know how difficult these functions are. Having to read and start additional tasks such as reading the folder marked 'Tobacco pricelist' which I like to call the "menu."

The signs upon our doors simply read 'Kiosk open' and 'Please ask a collegue for your chosen product." Despite these signs, people are left wondering up to the counter like a rabbit in highlights, lost, shocked, dewildered and thinking the world is coming to an end, as they ask: "Are you still selling cigerettes?"

Err, are you having a f**king laugh?

This one particular day a man in his late twenties approached me and said: "Hu, huu, huu, err, are you selling cigerettes? And so judging by his sence of humour, I turned around, pushed a door open and responded with shock "Noooo!"

He started laughing and said: "Err, can I have..................so ARE you selling cigerettes?"

Are you seriously stupid?

Last Thursday I had four customers do this. It's so not funny.
