Iceland check-out woman took offence at me saying 'no' before she asked the question
 

Every time I get to the check-out at Iceland I am always asked the same question, 'do you have an Iceland card?'

It's so annoying, that I have to say no all the time. If I had one, wouldn't I show it first? Have it ready? Of course I would.

Well today I was in a jovial mood. At the check-out I thought I'd have a laugh by saying 'no' just before she asked the question.:joker:

So I did. And what a response I got. She said, 'excuse me...' and she looked really offended. All red in the face.

I said, 'err, I don't have an Iceland card. I get asked so many times I thought I'd get in there quick before you asked the question.' :joker:

Anyone else would have surely laughed.

Not her. It looked like she was fuming. She went more red in the face. And said, 'actually I could have asked you loads of questions. You didn't know what I was going to say.'

At which point I wanted to get out of that shop quick. I couldn't be bothered with the hassle.

But would you believe it. :D:joker::joker:

They probably have to ask that though :nono: Also, I always forget to give my card at the supermarket I shop in so I like that they remind me

:laugh:

Iceland is awful for asking that, plus I had a card for years and they used to scan it every time then the checkout woman tried to scan it one day and said oh this card doesn't work and when I told her I had it for years she said oh well, it's not registered. :fist:

So now I don't have one and it annoys me when they ask all the time.

:laugh2:

Did you not notice that you weren't getting any vouchers posted back to you?

I don't mind the card thing, but in some shops they say, would you like some chocolate/batteries/phone top up... If I did I would ask/get some grrr!

:umm2:


Iceland

The card was registered in the past, I used to get the leaflets sent out plus years ago Iceland used to give you a free £10 roast at xmas if you used your card throughout the year.

I told her it was registered and she was saying no and then said you will have to start with a new one, I just told her no.

Oh with the card we have you get money vouchers for the supermarket posted out every 3 months or something

Yeah the Tesco card is like that.

Maybe Iceland was too at one point I just can't remember but they definitely used to sent me leaflets and stuff (with my name and address) plus I got the free roast a few times before they stopped doing it.

Check it josy, it might be valid.

I binned it :sad:

Funny woman. :p

She might've been new to the job or something, might've felt embarrassed :(

Yes it can be a Hard Time for some at the checkout

I love Iceland. There was a cute checkout guy, who packed all my bags. :flutter:

Jeez, all I said was 'no' with a smile on my face. :)

Quickly followed by 'err, I don't have an Iceland card. I get asked so many times I thought I'd get in there quick before you asked the question.'

I agree offence would have been caused if I had said, 'no, you fat lump. I don't have a ****ing card in case you ask.' :mad:

That would have been offensive. Methinks she is way too touchy.:nono:

I know several of the other check-out girls and they would have laughed. :)

:joker::joker::joker:

:joker: the card question annoys me too or if the cashier is trying to sell something at the checkpoint.
if I wanted something I would've got it before I came to pay :idc:.

Well said. :cheer2:

Find some chill Jordan

:joker::joker::joker:

I have to ask customers if they have a clubcard because some of them are too stupid to remember to get it out and then blame me for not telling them if I don't

The question is, how would you have reacted if I had said 'no' to you with a smile -

- very closely followed by 'err, I don't have an Iceland card. I get asked so many times I thought I'd get in there quick before you asked the question.'

We have to ask every customer if they have a bonus card as we have a personal target % to reach
