I had to print off some CV stuff today for a job interview for tomorrow.
Its rather difficult to find a place in London that lets you print off stuff, ive been to eight cafes around me and none of them will let you print.
I was in London Bridge today and found a place on the net in Waterloo that printed off stuff YAY !
I walk up to the shop and theres a guy at the door, I ask if they have internet (yes) and can I print stuff (again yes)
So I step into the shop and see that im the only one there, hmmmm, as im new to the area im still on code red alert for anything untoward that might be happening around me.
Im a female alone in a strange city I have to be extra careful in whatever im doing and where ever I go.
As I walk into the store, the guy shuts and LOCKS the only door into the store
Immediately I wheel around on my heel and march back to the door and demand he open it up this second while looking around for something to smash through it if I need to ... its amazing how fast your brain starts thinking in these situations!
The guy explains that hes just going to use the staff bathroom and will unlock it as soon as he is done.
So I pull out my cellphone and think of who I can call.... its not a emergancy and given I dont know the number for england (I think its 999) I cant do that
I think about calling Raps but hes a long way off... who else
I finally call K in Canada where its 3am.... real smart kiwi who isnt answering
while I do this I walk over to a computer and start rushing to print off the stuff I need, I see a door swing open behind from where im sitting and I see the guy PEEING WITH THE DOOR OPEN AND WATCHING ME!!!!!
by this time ive finished printing off and have logged off the computer and I walk to the till. The guy washes his hands and then hocks up a luggie... LOVELY
he comes over and I pay and as he unlocks the door he smiles and says thanks see you soon
I turn to him and say in the most cutting voice I can muster
"I wont ever be back here after what you just did, your disgusting"
and move my tail out of the store at lightning speed
I dont even know if I should report him!!! But I know one thing, thats one internet cafe I will NEVER be back at printing or not!
