Etiquette in shops?
I’ve blooming seen it all today!!! 😅
Went to a hardware shop, well known name, busy spot!
No price on show for the item I wanted so I went to the check out.
The young girl at the check out had her back turned to me, was on snap chat and holding her phone up to take selfies! (I’d just be mortified! 😳) I made a noise to get her attention but she didn’t hear me, so I just said, sorry excuse me can you tell me how much this is!
Without a care in the world, didn’t even put her phone away, she goes bring it to “Joe” over there and pointed me to a different counter!
She then went back to her phone!
“Joe” was very helpful!
The gobshite sitting next to “Joe” was questionable!
Openly flirting with the much younger member of staff working there. To be honest it turned my stomach a little. He was wearing a wedding ring and loudly having flirty chats or banter or whatever you want to call it with her over the shop floor. Gives me shivers thinking about it. Sleaze bag. I hope his wife knows what’s he’s really like and I hope that young girl sees sense.
I found out the price and I left.
I won’t be returning.
Is there no such thing as etiquette anymore?
