It doesn't have a rep for the worst day of the week for nothing. So many SCs as well as people who make this a stone cold fact.
Why do so many SCs lie to me? Look, I sit by a window all day and watch idiots try to use petrol pumps. I most certainly can see if you're not using it correctly, for example the stupid woman who insisted that she wasn't pointing the nozzle at her face when she most certainly was and would have gotten a face full of petrol had I turned the pump on like she demanded.
Or the numpty who kept bleating, "But I was pressing the button!" at me when it was blindingly obvious that he was not, or else the pump would have activated.
Also, kindly do not give me attitude when I ask you for ID. You may think that plastering your face in makeup like a clown makes you look older, but it doesn't. If you don't have your driving license on your person, then you're an idiot. Another SC demanded that I let him off the extra 50p his smokes now cost, cuz the price has gone up, cuz he doesn't think it's fair. Sorry, but as my dad always said, life isn't fair and the sooner you learn it, the better. Not enough money, no smokes for you!
Here's a radical thought; it might be in your best interests to actually listen to me when I am talking to you rather than gawping out the window. What I am saying is actually very important; you are trying to pay at the wrong till!
Finally, a word of advice to pushy, rude SCs who do this far too often. Don't press your card on the contactless eft machine when I have only just finished greeting you and haven't even got to asking you what pump you're on. I will tell you when you can pay. What makes you an SC is the glares, mutters of "Oh, hurry up!", sighs, eye rolls etc that you do when I am trying to get you to tell me what pump you have used, asking you for your store card and keying it all into the till. I can't do this at the speed of light, and whining about how long it's taking is just going to make me take even longer. Also, if the till suddenly decides that it can't take life any more and goes blank, petulantly stamping your foot like a small child and moaning about how this is making you late is not going to make it come back.
Can anyone tell that this was an extremely trying day?

', but that doesn't make for good ratings.
