[Josy]

Not really a supermarket but I was waiting in a store yesterday, stood in the queue for about 5 or 10 mins then it was my turn, and you know they sit things out at the till well I picked one up and put it in my basket as I walked over then the cashier turns round and says to me none too nicely 'What do you think you are doing? you cant just waltz in to be served when there's people behind you' who do you think you are I was like yeah I was standing in that queue, to which she replies 'No you weren't, you jumped the queue I saw you' I was getting a bit pissed off at this point but the old guy behind me said no that girl was standing in the queue with the rest of us, the cashier gave me a look of disgust and said oh well on you go then, so I sat my basket down and said 'you know what, keep it' and walked away

Not taking that **** of anyone when i'm just out shopping minding my own business tbh, had she said sorry I wouldn't have walked out tbh

Wow, you should of taken her name and reported her.

A couple of months ago I was in Asda looking for normal natural yoghurt but everything was low fat. I asked this assistant if he could help me locate what I was looking for. He was an old guy and none too happy that I'd interrupted his shelf packing. He huffed and puffed for a few minutes around the yoghurt before turning to me and saying, "If you can't find something in future, then remember this...Its probably because we DONT have it because we don't have unlimited space for stocking ridiculously FADDY stuff.

I went to customer service and asked them to find it but I mentioned how this guy had spoken to me. "Ah" said the assistant, "that will be Ralf. He's 82 and has to work because he doesn't get enough state pension but he's old school and we are having great difficulty training him...Sorry about that"

I left the store feeling awful that an 82 year old man had to stack shelves and worse still, I'd just guaranteed him a ticking off

Same in Spain they never greet you and ask questions in very fast Spanish to put non Spainards on the back foot, they practically throw the stuff at you as well

We spend a lot of time in Spain and I always thought they're very helpful and friendly there, maybe it depends what part you go to?

We go more Northern Spain and it's not a Tourist spot so maybe that makes the difference?

Mojacar is very popular with Spanish holiday makers so maybe so!

....I've been waiting for an opportunity to use that smiley...

..I have to say that I find shop assistants in France very helpful and friendly as well and not rushing you so I think it's just all personal experience...

Oh I would have been so mad, I hate queue skippers so to be accused of being one when you're not would make me so mad. It happened to me one time in Venice getting on one of them water taxis, this Italian woman (hopefully it wasn't Vanessa ) accused me of skipping the queue when i hadn't, It nearly came to fisty cuffs I got so angry lol
