Does it ever make you feel cheap

CHEAP_AS_CHIPS_4

Hi all

Happy easter!

i had an encounter in asda yesterday that made me feel really cheap and downrigt horrible.

i was getting some easter eggs and as they were going through the till, the lady serving me said "i'm sure that last one has been reduced to half price, did you notice what it said on the shelf?" to which i said i didn't notice"

she then called someone over to check and this other person went off to the aisle with the eggs on.

meanwhile a gentleman had queued up behind me and was making noises to another person behind me.

after a minute the man turned to me and tried to shove £2.50 in my face and said "hear take this your obviously desperate and i'm in a hurry" (it was all said in an angry manner), at which point i welled up and asked the cashier to quickly put it through as it was so i could go, i then left the shop crying my eyes out. the man only had 3 things on the conveyer belt and there were plenty of tills. i felt humiliated and like something on the bottom of his shoe.

a year or so ago, i would have stood up to him, but i think because it was money related and i do need every penny, he hit a nerve.

sorry probably not right for the board, i think i just needed to get it of my chest as it has really bothered me since

what an absolute t1t.

Sorry someone has reduced you to tears. I can't believe this persons attitude.

Maybe for future reference if you do meet any clowns like this again that try shoving money in your face......

Take the money, say thank you, and wait for the price to be clarified anyway:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

This way you get it free and they may think about being such tos sers in future.

Hope this has cheered you up.

Happy easter:EasterBun

Bless you. What an a hole. I was in Asda the other day and had a query with coupons. Eventually the cashier took them all after checking with her supervisor then checking all the coupons. I t took an age but knocked £9.40 off my shop and i need the money. The woman behind me was giving me a right face...don't let it bother you what he said he's probably spending Easter alone a miserable, lonely man!

Oh god what a horrible !!!!!!!!! It wasn't your fault and I'm sure it could've been anyone in that situation and he'd have still had a go so please don't feel like it was you or you were being cheap..
Big hugs... :grouphug:

:grouphug: awww - dodgy hugs to you. no, it never makes me feel that way and why should you feel guilty about having a price checked? People like that aren't worth bothering about:mad: . I've been in supermarkets though and seen harrassed young mums getting tutted at as they try to pacify a screaming baby and pack their shopping at the same time - some people just have no idea.

Don't feel too down the sad gobsh*te was probably on his way to moan at someone else, it's the only way these people get their kicks. At least you have the courage to know you have money troubles, this saddo has probably watched too many episodes of Harr Enfield's Old Gits.

Cheer up kid he's the one with the problem

Aww hun - ignore him, just remember that its not up to you to support the supermarket - if there is an offer on its your right to have it - dont want to go putting money into Mr supermarkets pocket even if that moany codger does

I would have told him, I like to pay the correct price, NO more, NO less.
I would have told him what a rude uncouth man he was & to have some manners & wait his turn.

Totally agree with that would of really p'd him off - haha - dont worry what other people think - i was selling stuff at a bootsalewith my mum and the the meat van guy said its amazing what crap people will buy (hopefully he wasnt reffering to my stall) then he said any way who's the mugs (us that buy it for full price then sell it cheap ) certainly not the people there who get it for cheap 1st time round! and prob saving lots of debt and heart ache!

I agree with InThe BrownStuff however I would have also asked the cashier to get me another egg and pay for it with this guy's cash gift. This would have really got him going. For good measure you should have kneed him in the nuts.
