    Exactly.
    I was there again last night but I asked a nice young lady (employee of course, i didn't just comandeer a random person to help :eek: ) to operate the self service till for me and it worked lovely so that'll be my plan for now if I've only got a few items, and maybe Mr A will realise he still needs proper staff as well as his infernal machines.
    And to keep on topic, just got some change from my coffee so I'll pot that when I get home.

    Hello everyone :D....

    A lovely 70p today, that might be it for the week :(, there is a good reason for it (fingers crossed) ;). Still going to pop in and see what you're all doing :p.

    This is a bit of a cryptic message nu1isit?...hmm....what can you mean?....:think:

    Lots of birthdays coming up so I've been gift shopping. Only 22p left but it's potted!

    Enjoy the sun if you have any! x

    What surprises me, is the basket queue only has 1 or 2 people and the queue for the self service is mega! Much rather have a person to serve me.

    A lovely shiny £2 for my owls head today :D but nothing for the cats head. :(

    A great idea but it would result in a fairly long commute down to sunny (NOT) Cornwall :rotfl:

    To keep on topic I'm just about to raid OH's wallet for change from his lunch ;)
