    Use the hole in the wall, they allow you to make deposits as well you know (unless you were the one paying in £100 in coins)
    massive queue at petrol station

    Pay at pump?
    massive queue in the supermarket

    Online shopping?
    WHY??

    Yes why complain about it, why not do something about it.

    He doesn't work, we all know he gallops about righting injustices with the aid of his clever, laconic American Indian assistant, Tonto. Departing on his horse Silver, the Ranger would famously say "Hi-yo, Silver, away!" as the horse galloped toward the setting sun.

    "
    A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust, and a hearty 'Hi-yo, Silver, away!' The Lone Ranger!"

    Or often worked on a till in a very busy shop. Didn't take much to figure out did it?

    So basically you've got absolutely no experience of a business which deals with a massive volume of people selling a product/service at a very low margin. So why are you such an expert on it?
  • Antique shop. Right. Hardly screams as being on the same level as a supermarket or a bank with regards to customer volume, does it?

    Head, bum, out.

    Well the supermarkets and petrol stations must be doing something right, as they are still in business and you are still going there.

    I was going to say the same about the banks, but thats not the case!

    You have a choice, shop online/at pump/ATM, go shopping when its not busy, pay a premium and shop where they employ more staff.

    Or just send Tonto instead.
  • ahhh so lone ranger is an 'oik'- his own words! :p

    I wonder if his shop at anyone time has actually had an amount of people in it that has actually reached double figures!

    So if he has over 1000 people in his shop and slashes his margin down to 4% which would mean running it on a very strict amount of staff is he telling us he's have no queues ever!:rotfl:

    Yeah right!
