What a load of rubbish

[BensGrandad]

I like to have my couple of cans of bitter each night with a bottle or can of original Guinness but Tesco BH have run out and will not be getting them until 7/9/08 so called into Wine Rack in HH and asked whether they sold them and was told ' you cannot buy bottles of Guinness Original in the UK now as it is all of export strength of 7.5% and made and bottled in Kenya. Why do assistants try to bullshit people why not just say no we do not stock it.

Well drinking that much everynight is bad for you!

I only drink beer now on medical orders as prior to my cancer op I only drank Remy VSOP neat and doctor told me to stop and switch to beer or wine, so that is all I drink now.

...and switch to beer or wine, so that is all I drink now.

That is all you drink? Whilst it sounds fun, I would miss the odd glass of Ribena, fresh fruit juice or a glass of ice cold milk.

Sorry I have 1 cup of tea a day, in the morning and then about a bottle of Orange squash during the day. It used to be 2 ltr Coke but that is bad for me so I gave it up. Then 2 cans of Bitter and I of Guinnes to make a black and tan during the evening, igf I am sat in front of the tele or on here.

 

[Easy 10]

Fascinating.

My whole point is why do shop assistants have to bullshit to make it sound as if they know what they are talking about and then show themselves up.

can i answer this one? ah, thanks.

it is mind-numbingly boring working in shops. really really dull.
you get bloody idiots coming in, asking idiotic and pointless questions like
'ooooh - i wanted one of those - have you got any out the back?'
so in order to liven up a dull day, story-telling is an excellent way of entertaining yourself. i used to love telling little old ladies stories about products being taken off the market due to boll-weevil infestations and the felch fly being found in the factory, when stuff was just out of stock.
leave the assistants be, they are doing a crap and badly paid job and merely wish to entertain theirselves!

You should know better. Go and drink in your local pub and stop supermarkets from killing pubs. Support your local before its too late!!!

A lot of us are poorly paid, but our jobs can be very important... Can I nominate the twit who always serves me in the O2 shop opposite Churchill Square as the biggest bullshitter of them all!

Oh yes, NSC GOLD by the way.

I would if there was a decent pub in Haywards Heath but there isnt, and the only place I know that sells bottled Guinness is the United Services Club and that is going downhill fast.

spot on

the newspaper shop was shut one day when i was at work, so everybody came to our garage to buy papers. after about 10 people asking why the shop was shut, i became so bored of the question that i started to make up stories, with the cherry on the cake being one old lady hearing that it was shut due to a drugs raid in the early hours of the morning
