Tired, hungover and high?!

ALMOST every customer has something to say that pisses me off.

I'm always being asked "Did you have a late night last night? Did you go out last night? and telling me that I look really tired." I always find myself saying "Aw yeah, I was out" and "Ohhh I know, I should be going out late" When really I had an early night and have no idea what they are on about.

So lately I've taken a different approach laughing while replying "No, but thanks for the insult." But last Thursday, this chap in particular reached an all time high, I was serving him at the kiosk, you know for the tobacco which he typically didn't know the name of and spent time um'ing and ar'ing, "Are you high?" he asked. I replied "sorry?" "Are you high mate?" with a concerning voice.

"AM I F*CKING HIGH?!"

I replied: "No, I'm not high, I'm just tired and fed up."

Today, I was on checkout 16, a man and woman approached my till and the woman said "You look like you really enjoy your job" as she laughed away. So I laughed and said "Oh, I absolutely love it." She asked: "Did you go out last night?" and of course to add abit of variety to the same repeatitive conversation I said "Yeah, I was....."

"Oh, that's why you look hungover then," so I thought, hold on a minute, you're not getting away with that insult, let's put you on the spot so I replied: "Haha, well that's funny because I wasn't drinking."

"Oh well you look hungover anyway"

As the conversation progressed I found that the couple seemed quite tipsy. They were one of those "f*ck off and leave me alone" couples.

How about, come in, get your shopping, buy it and leave me alone. It's always the same old thing.
