Oh It Winds Me Up
You know what really winds me up?
When a cashier, after processing your purchase gives you your note (notes if your a bit rich), then your receipt and lastly your coins on top, all at once, into your hand. Throw in the annoyed look said cashier gives you as you fumble about trying to sort these disparate items while they've got more customers to serve and it leaves me feeling really cheesed off.
It's a frustrating social situation, I have one hand full holding on to the item I've just bought and the other is full due to reasons listed above. Im too tight to risk coin dropage by moving so I have to maneuver all these items to their respective homes as quick as possible, which even with my years of practice still takes about a minute and a half.
I know I could thrust them all into one pocket then sort it out later but should I have to?
Is it so hard to put the receipt in the bag? Couldn't you hand me the note then the coins straight after? How many hands/limbs do you think I've got? Im sorry but you're not dealing with an octopus today as I suspect is your usual customer but a mere two armed human with moderate to poor hand-eye-coordination.
Wouldn't it have been funny if there was a WHSmith on the Nautilus? I bet there was a Subway, those fuckers are everywhere. I bet even Nemos hate of the land based human population couldn't have overcome his crews love of the footlong BLT.

Its not good is it?
Again I missed the meeting where it was agreed that all the shops would be the same in all towns.
Starbucks, HMV, Smiths.
Like a cancer spreading across the land.
