Manners Are Not Just For The Young
(I’m the only person in the queue for the self-service tills. A woman has finished scanning her items, but is still packing them. A man comes up behind me. I look young for my age, and am dressed casually as it’s my day off. I also have red streaks in my hair from a charity day the day before.)
Customer: “Are you queuing?”
Me: “Yes, I am.”
Customer: *pointing at where the woman is* “Well, are you wanting that one or not?”
Me: “I’m waiting for the woman to finish.”
(Instead of waiting behind me as I expect, he pushes past, goes up to the woman’s till, and starts trying to scan things through. The system won’t let him as the woman hasn’t taken her bags yet. After a few unsuccessful attempts he barges back past me and rejoins the queue.)
Customer: “F****** kids.”
Me: “At least this f****** kid had the manners to wait until the lady was finished.”
Customer: *blushes*
