    I also had a ridiculous exchange with an SA in As this morning.

    I had a bunch of bananas in my shopping. When he came to scan them, he reached under the till for a small plastic bag to put them in. I told him politely I didn't need a bag for them. He told me that all loose fruit and veg had to be in bags :huh: and proceeded to put them in the bag anyway......

    Meanwhile DS2 is at my side telling the SA that they weren't loose, they were in a bunch :D :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    So I took them out the bag and left the bag in the packing area. SA then says I need to put the bananas back in the bag......for hygiene reasons :eek::rotfl: I ignored him and packed them in my shopping bag. He then picked up the empty bag, scrunched it up and had a moan because it couldn't be used now :rotfl::rotfl: presumably because my unhygienic bananas had contaminated it!

    All this time DS2 was still trying to explain his loose/bunch theory to him. :D

    Really do wish I'd bought the watermelon that was the size of a football now :rotfl::rotfl:
