Gibralarr for supplies/refit

[chinita]

Well, I go watch Man Utd footie and drink lager with the manager. But I still queue in line with everyone else.

I think that patience and politeness has been forgotten in todays ' I Want It Now' society. lots of places around the globe simply don't care about Me Me Me.

What is a 'Tesco'??

After eight years cruising the Med I had escaped the 'I want it now' attitude.

What is so bad about 'I want to see the price now'?

Next time you are with the manager, ask him why they don't price things.

I bet he does not tell you.

Well got 2 out of three things, count that as a result.

You can look up prices by simply entering the product code into the thoughtfully provided computer screen and keyboard near the entrance.

Just seen this.

No thoughtfully provided computer screen when I was last there (admittedly two years ago).

He said

'You can use the thoughtfully provided computer screen and keyboard or simply ask me.'

 

[chinita]

OK, ask him why it took so long to provide the thoughtfully provided computer screen and keyboard and why they did not label their stock prior to that.

edit: on second thoughts, don't bother as I know the answer. They had a monopoly.

They don't have time for board games, they have long queues of customers to deal with.

You never know, they may have thoughtfully provided the computer as a result of your helpful suggestion.

I'll ask.
