    I got flamed on another post for suggesting that a spotty youth at Tescos was to blame for my self service checkout problems. Which he was because he either did not know or couldn't be bothered to check something really basic that would've saved me a lot of unnecessary hassle.

    why write 'spotty youth'. The word 'youth' would have got your point across. It's frankly very offensive to refer to a person's appearance in such a way and, although you're upset about having been treated badly, you should really take a look at your attitude.

    I'm not upset at all nor was I treated badly. My problem with the till was not handled effectively. That was annoying and time wasting but not upsetting.

    What does really offend me is the way everyone nowadays pu-ssy foots around making up pathetic names for things so as not to upset anyone. When I was at school kids were well-behaved or naughty - now they have ADHD - when in reality it is poor parenting, lack of rules in the home etc etc.

    He was a youth - he had spots - get over it!

    Bleeding heart liberals:rolleyes:

    One of the nice things about getting older is I can have any attitude I like and I will.

    They let my sister join but refused me despite us both having professional qualifications albeit in different fields. :confused:

    I just got an additional card on her account which was cheaper anyway :D

    The new Chester store is Fab and there are always loads of yummy samples :D
    It's easier to get forgiveness than to ask permission ;)

    ADHD is a neurological disorder, it is in no way related to poor parenting or lack of rules in the home.

    I'm also a chavvy Costco member. :D

    From what I remember about the Costco application eligibility, if you're not a trader or director, you can join if you're employed by a company that it has an arrangement with (I used to work for NHS24 and they did so). I keep meaning to join as I do own a company but havne't got round to it yet. I don't imagine I'd go on quite so large a rant about being refused membership though, however I do already have a Makro card. Maybe some green tea and a phone call to the store to clear things up would be more productive?
