Actually today was alright, yesterday was horrendous though. I only currently have one appointment for tomorrow and its a returning driver so much shorter than a brand new one, that's around midday so my CEO said I could finish the day from home if there were no more appointments and as if I'm not opening a bottle of something or other the minute I've washed my hands
Just been to M&S to pick up the turkey and beef pplus other pre-ordered items - caused a bit of a scene. Estimated cost £138 minus £40 already paid. So I was expecting something in the region of £100 give or take. So that'll be £148... Erm are you quite sure? the estimate price remaining is approx £98. Yes sir they do tell you that the prices can vary on the weight when you order. Yes I realise that but to be £50 over on an order of £100 is somewhat of a large approximation error on two pieces of meat that are together in the region of £80
More computer says no nonsense ensues... can you get someone else to look at this please? But thats what the til says... Its wrong, get someone who can understand that the magnitude of the error is so great that it can't possibly be right please
Finally goes to get someone. 1 minute later it is declared that I am indeed correct because I only ordered one £50 joint of beef, I was only in possession of one joint of beef and not the two that were on the till. So it wasn't the till that was wrong either, it was the person that scanned it twice. I'm a nightmare when shit like this happens normally but today I was perfectly relaxed and politely stood my ground with no raised voices and only a minor sprinking of sarcasm. It is Xmas after all!
