Another Costcutter rant…

It's that time of day. Another Costcutter rant.

Today, Costcutter was typically busy at 1pm (surprisingly about as busy as during term time). There were about four cashiers, each with about 8 people at each queue. So busy.

I got to the front of my queue when the checkout-retard said "i'm closing this till now". Needless to say, the 8 people behind me were as pissed off as I was. I mean, why not TELL people before they queue for five minutes that you're intending to the close the queue?

Instead the dozy bint meekly protested: "I finish at 1pm". Well good for you! Crikey! How about telling people not to join the queue at 12.55pm?

So I then had to queue for five minutes at ANOTHER queue!

Costcutter, how about employing some people with a basic understanding of how to – at least – SPELL 'customer service'. Damn idiots.

P.S. Looking at their website (www.costcutter.co.uk) confirms how truly crap they are.

And I'm done.

What are they thinking?

For those of you lucky enough not to be in Leamington, you may not know about the infestation which has happened in the town…

That's right. The Stagecoach X12s have been replaced by bright pink buses. They also have speakers and a crappy FM radio in it.

Unfortunately, tuning is an issue. Today we were delighted by the sound of a crackly, hissing, whining Classic Gold. Oh yes, really catering to the students there. Silence would be much better.

Oh yeah, and everyone on the bus now looks like a twerp.

Another great idea from our good friends at Stagecoach.
