  • My area manager is unlikely to help since I've never met them!

    Am more likely to select two likely looking ejits from the main store and borrow them for a few minutes, or hassle the store manager and store admin bloke who're technically responsible for maintainance of the kitchen equipment until they send someone to sort it out for me.

    Made the mistake of watching the end of Marley and Me after watching Our Girl. Currently trying to dry up the tears.

    I know...I was being a touch sarcastic. You may hear from him about a customer who sipped a cup of coffee that was too hot from a cardboard cup who then promptly burst into flame...

    I take it that you're really not drooling over the lads from the store?

  • Nah if I manage to work out the formula to set customers on fire with a sip of coffee I'll not be around the next day to read the email.

    Noone worth drooling over, nope.

    I defy anyone with even half a heart not to cry (or if they have non-functional tear ducts at least feel sad) at the end of that film.

    You'll be too busy offering complimentary coffees? ;)

    Sure you couldn't have said "no" a few more times? ;)

    You can offer other customers bread and a toasting fork (for a small fee). The opportunities are endless...

    I'm sure there are many other good films which don't make you cry...

    Went to the local pubs and scared the locals, no matter how often I go for a drink in the village they still don't seem to actually remember me from the time before so it causes 'interest' - the cook in the pub we ate at actually came out of the kitchen to see who the stranger was eating with my friend.

    Write ups are going slowly, I'd forgotten how comment heavy the reports for this company are!

  • True enough, I've got one report totally done and submitted (although my receipt images are a little wobbly but as I had to post them the original along with the purchases I can't retake the photos) the other I'll finish off tomorrow evening.

    Been looking at running events over the next couple of months, I need to have something booked to keep me focussed, so looking at a night run event in manchester, but they're all 10km runs and I've only ever done 5km routes, might see if I can start working up to the distances over the next couple of weeks and see if I think I can do it - starting tomorrow as I've got my running kit packed and plan to go and run along the canal after work - am thinking just run for 20mins see how far I can get then come back, if I can try to do that a couple of times a week hopefully I'll start to see an improvement in the distance I'm covering rather than the loop routes I run from home where the distance never changes.
