I went to a store today to pick up a few items, apple/raspberry juice and strawberry jam. While I was there, I found the perfect item... The price above it said £9.99, I roughly calculated how much it would cost for all of my groceries and decided to get it. I figured it would be about £12.
When I got to the front of the check stand (Britains love to que (stand in line), well, I don't know if they love it, or if they are just more patient and don't mind it.) Anyway, the cashier rang up my stuff and said it was £15.36. As she handed me the receipt, I looked and my perfect item was £12.99... Hmmm? So I mentioned it. She went to look for it as I stood there. She couldn't find it, so I then walked back with her to find it. I told her I was doing it so she didn't have to stay up front. She said a wee walk would do her well. I was right... £9.99.
She called the manager and he started pushing buttons. He was doing everything upside down and was hitting all kinds of weird things. I apologized for being a pain, they of course said that it was ok. I said, "Yeah, but you can't see how the people behind me look." There were about 5 people there, who looked up (looking annoyed), but I broke the ice and they started laughing. One woman said, "Oh, you can feel the daggers." It was super funny and I told them I was sorry. The lady directly behind me left the store (probably in a huff!) Haha!
Then, the manager said "Ok, now give her £2.99". I didn't understand what was going on and why he didn't just give me the £3.00, but who knows and I didn't argue... I was afraid of that woman's dagger! :)
