Post your examples here, as the week unfolds.
Nothing to report, over
I didn’t work today. Everyone I had contact with was nice. There were a lot of people of lower economic standing around the supermarkets. I attended two supermarkets today. As I was in Hamilton and not working, I went to see how the new Coles store is going. I have to say, it is a great improvement on the old one, which had aisles that were endless, and insufficient signage about what was down there. It’s all bright and sparkly. And they stock local milk. Including Jersey milk from Warrnambool. This is a big plus in my book.

Dunno. Didn’t see any. I don’t use them, for reasons I have previously explained. In our town they aren’t a huge success. People will use them for a couple of items, sometimes, but usually the staff are trying to direct shoppers into them. And being refused.
Cttoi I rarely encounter rude people. Trying to thing of the last time.

I go through the self serve check out if everything in my basket has a barcode.
I had a very senior moment at the SS checkout this evening. Scanning everything through and came to this green vegetable thingy that I had to weigh. Looked at it blankly. Scanned through everything else and came back to the green vegtable complete and utter blank.
Scanned through the vegetable pictures until I found it.
Ah, broccoli, that’s the little bastard.
embarrassed
I heard a woman was forced to give birth in a stable and the child was kept in a manger on Christmas. Could be hearsay………….
Another long shift tomorrow. I hope to have at least one story of Xmas rudeness for this thread by tomorrow night :)
Even though you expect the rudeness, wouldn’t it be better to hope for the opposite?

I live at the end of a sleepy peninsula to the south of Melbourne, as some of you might recall, that floods with tourists when Melbourne opens her gates at the major holidays. The only real rudeness I see is the way some people park their cars.
One could be forgiven for thinking they have slid in sideways at high speed after a 38-hour booze and meth jag, then fallen out the door and stumbled into the nearest shop to evade the capture of the police, who must surely be pursuing them, such is the style of their parking and apparent fucks given for the vehicles they might have hit or blocked in.
Seriously, jaw-dropping rude.

On Monday Mr Arts and I went shopping. We pulled into the area that has all the wheelchair bays. It was full, but I noticed a family moving towards their car so I stopped and waited for them to pull out. The daughter (about 20ish) gave me a small smile. The (I assume) mother made no eye contact at all… The (I assume) father looked directly at us sort of sheepishly. Mr Arts said “I don’t think they have a disabled sticker” I said “Now come on, not all disabilities are visible”… the father (after putting his purchases in the boot) limped to the drivers side door and got in. They pulled out and drove straight past us… no special access sticker to be seen. I guess not all stickers are visible either…
it happens a lot at this time of year

You live in Las Cruces?

I went to Westfield Carousel today around lunchtime, mostly because I’m mad.
I nearly gave up looking for a parking spot, and had already declared “fuck it” and was heading toward the exit when I spied someone just ahead of me pulling out. So I waited for them and took their spot.
On my way out I got stalked by another car, which sat there blocking the road until I pulled out and drove away.

Wow man, that’s really deep. ;)
