In case I haven't mentioned the bain of my existance is shopping, mainly in Tesco. On top of that I hate nothing more than shop assistants who have full blown conversations with someone else as they serve you. It is so rude. Really, I get mad just talking about it.
So the other day in Tesco, after forcing my way past many a dithering oldie and queuing forever due to a sloppy checkout girl merrily chatting to a co-worker about her husband, it is safe to say I was fuming. But she managed to save herself from my 'spin on heel and march out without a "thanks"' manouvere when she said, 'I really love your top, you totally suit it.'
My impulse was to think that she was taking the piss but she was so genuine that it produced a stunned smile and an emphatic 'thank you so much' as she handed me my change. Maybe this is a service all shops should be thinking about providing.
