"I work in one of the Asda stores and if any of us behaved in that manner, we would be up on a disciplinary post haste. It is very dependent on the managers of any given store as to how much they clamp down on colleagues. I do have to say, in our defence, we do have to put up with extremely rude and ignorant customers, not to mention the aggression when having to refuse sales because of no ID.

I've worked in retail before, legal offices, Local Authority dealing with Consumer Advice and now retail again. The behaviour of the public is getting worse, with expectations far too high and thinking they can treat shop assistants like dirt. Thankfully, these people are in the minority, but it can totally spoil a good day at work. Thankfully there are some lovely customers that come in. | |||

" yea its a sense of being entitled to behave badly, and forgetting their obligation to behave in an acceptable manner." It's definitely getting worse and they expect something for nothing, even when they aren't entitled to it. They try to tell me what they are entitled to as well, not realising I have qualifications in consumer law! lol Something else I have noticed, it isn't always the youngsters who behave badly either! | |||

""I was at Asda yesterday, this thick bitch was on the check-out, face like a slapped arse and all the charisma of a jellied eel. I came to pay, I had only bought a pint of milk and bread but had no change."£1.03 please""Sorry this is all I've got," as I handed her a £20 note."Haven't you got anything smaller, 'cos it will take all my change, and I don't wanna count out £18.97?" she replied and pulled a stroppy face."I've got nothing, if that helps," I replied...she didn't get it so I thought fuckk it, I'll pay by card."Shall I pay by card?" I asked."Don't do me no favours," she snapped.I kept my cool and just put my PIN in."Cash back?" she asked sarcastically.I couldn't resist it... "Oh yes, £18.97 please."" When asked if i had anything smaller i would have been sorely tempted to slap my penis on the counter for her, saying "would this do"??? | |||

"I can remember my in-laws coming down to visit us when we lived in the UK. Went out to Salisbury and into a nice little cafe for some lunch. My mother in law went to pay with Scottish notes and the owner promptly refused saying that it "wasn't legal tender" my mother in law disputed the fact (also works for a bank and is the manager) was told "no no no it is not" So she told him if he didn't want to take it she wasn't paying and walked out. "there is a common misunderstanding as to what the term legal tender means, and it is nothing to do with payment for goods and/or services. In this case it is a question of being legal currency, that being said the only people who are obliged to accept any banknote are the issuing bank due to banknotes being a promisary note. | |||
