Had a decking job to finish yesterday, needed the balustrade - so off to B&Q early to pick it up.
Only there since my timber merchant stopped stocking the double rail system I prefer - but to my surprise B&Q are cheaper with my Trade point card.
Loaded 44 spindles, 12 hand/base rails & 6 posts onto the trolley & proceeded to checkout;
Checkout Droid; I'll have to unload the trolley & scan each item separately.
TMH; Why don't you scan one & count them?
CD; B&Q policy says I have to scan each one.
TMH; In Wickes they scan one & count them.
CD; This isn't Wickes.
TMH; How long will it take?
CD; Don't know but I have to do it.
TMH; Get a manager here, this is ridiculous.
Droid ignores request & carries on unloading.
TMH; Can you get someone to help? I haven't got all day & there are 5 people queuing.
Droid ignores request & carries on unloading.
People in queue are now muttering (garden centre exit, only one till open)
Lady in queue; Can you get someone to open another till, I've been here
10 mins already?Droid ignores request & carries on unloading.
CD; It would be quicker if you helped.
TMH (now slightly grumpy); You can do it yourself if you insist on being stupid.
25 minutes later, trolley reloaded, bill paid.TMH; There are 63 items on the receipt, you have overcharged me by one spindle!
Why do I bother going there?
