I don't have a problem with students. And I don't have a problem with stoners. But don't fucking go to work stoned and screw with my busy life dammit! Some of us have graduated and don't have all day to sit around discussing children's T.V. anymore...
I popped into Tesco supermarket this weekend to buy a few items and I was in a rush as we were going out that evening and were already slightly late to meet people. On my shopping list was:
1) Bottle of wine
2) Bunch of flowers
3) Nice top to wear that evening
I rush into the store, and yes I buy clothes from the supermarket sometimes. So long as the clothes don't smell of cabbage or small children I don't mind buying them. I think the Florence and Fred clothes range is quite good.
So I choose a groovy top and a matching cardigan, try them on in the changing room, rush to the other aisles, then back to the checkout, straight to the 10 items or less. Fantastic, there was no-one in front of me. I walk straight to a young man and put my purchases on the side.
It was only seconds later he lifted his head up and I realised something wasn't quite right. He was a teenager with slightly long greasy hair wearing a vacant expression and slightly glazed eyes. He spent a couple of minutes shuffling around with things on the checkout before bothering to put any of the items through. I swear it took him a good 5 minutes to scan 4 items and I thought "what the fuck is taking him so long? Is he stoned?"
I paid him what he asked and it was only when he handed me the receipt that I realised I'd paid far too much money for what I'd just bought. I glanced at the receipt - yes, the little stoner shit had scanned my top twice. He's trying to bleed another £12 out of me. Bastard! "Oh, sorry about that...but er..you'll have to go to customer services to get a refund...er...sorry".
All this time my other half is waiting outside the supermarket in the car, constantly phoning me and telling me to hurry up. This stoner fucker is making me later and later.
So I gave him a filthy look and without saying a word rushed to customer services. Phew, there are 3 people serving and only one customer. I approach the first employee "can you give me a refund, I've just been charged twice for one item"..."er, you'll have to ask that lady over there"...so I'm redirected to his colleague. She is serving the only customer in front of me and there is another woman with her that she is training.
Great! Three employees but only ONE customer being helped. Now that's what you call service. NOT!
More customers join my queue and finally *another* employee comes to the desk and I explain the situation. I also say I thought the guy at the checkout was stoned. He looks embarrassed, holds up my top and notices the stoner dickwad hadn't removed the security tag either! So if I hadn't noticed I'd been overcharged, I would have set off the alarm and been man-handled by security. Thanks for nothing, you stoned bastard!
Anyway, this customer service bloke was actually very nice and even though he accidentally dropped my top on the floor (arrrrgh) he refunded my money twice, in effect letting me have it for free.
But Tesco, if you are going to employ stoners, give them jobs in the bakery or somewhere behind the scenes...PLEASE don't put them on the speedy "10 items or less" checkouts it's like asking a tortoise to win a race - he might get there in the end, but it will take a fucking LONG time!!
I feel so pissed off by this, that I need something to help calm me down. Where's some weed when you need it? Who do I know that is stoned and desperate for money? Now I'm going to have to go back to Tesco's! Godammit.

You'd be smoking pot before work too if you were a cashier at a supermarket.
By the way, the clothes don't smell like cabbage after you wash them.

This post sucked. Totally boring, not funny, not even remotely interesting. It just sort of sounds like one of those conversations you always hear women having with each other where one of them just blandly lists off every boring thing that happened one particular day and every boring thing everyone said, while the other woman stands there saying "yeah, uh-huh, right, yeah" pretending she is interested, but what they are really doing is a kind of age-old instinctual social bonding thing like monkeys sitting around picking things out of each other's fur and eating them. That is what this post is like.

You're going to what's considered the most boring city of Canada. Great choice !
But no worries, there are plenty of fast food.

Random Joe see here: http://www.ubersite.com/m/38695#660271
but if you're the same teen Random Joe know-it-all on the Hendrix pepsi post you'll be at an unfair disadvantage...will I feel bad beating up a 16 year old kid? Ah, probably not!
Why don't you have some class and not make stupid assumptions about other nationalities?

"Hahah! What a twat, where else does he expect me to buy these things from:
1) Off-licence
2) Flower shop
3) Clothes shop"
But I was in a HURRY, the whole point of the post. Stupid motherfucking Cannuck. Did I mention I'm coming to Canada next weekend - what's your address, it would be a pleasure to come and kick your arse in person."
I'd rather be 15 minutres late than have no class at all. Besides, just get organized and you'll find the time, you ugly fat briton.
It would be nice to see a dumb british broad try to kick my ass with her 200 pounds +. Maybe we can arrange a meeting, which city are you going to ?

I think putting stoners in the bakery would increase employee theft.

proofs of the 'refined' american culture:
1. Buying wine in a supermaket
2. Buying flowers in a supermarket
3. Buying clothes in a supermarket
I bet your host cooked McDonald's for dinner.
You fail at life. Next time, don't bother and buy cyanide.

Oops, you're British. Pretty much the same though.
Jump off your retarded island and proceed to fill your lungs with salty water.

hah +2 for the picture alone, and that I know little fuckers like that. At least I have the decency to stay home when I'm stoned out of my mind. Except for school. School is so much better when you're stoned.
