Great entertainment, not so good staff craft skills or staff recommendation for their own products. Good thing the prices and reductions were good!

Double Ooops
After buying up loads in my local independent store, I popped into the chain store we have locally, the one that has things for Hobbies and for Craft.
I got some bits on sale, but the best bit was the entertainment. The sales assistant cut me three lengths of Hungry Caterpillar fabric, and each time he picked up the scissors and put his thumb through the large handle section and his fingers through the small handle section, and each time he complained how bad the shop scissors were. I was biting the insides of my cheeks to stop laughing, so I couldn't even speak to suggest holding the scissors the other way

Oh I've had conversations with the ones that work at the tills in that chain. They're, err, interesting!
ReplyDeletesometimes it is the little things that keep us smiling xx
ReplyDeleteHow funny. Hopefully someone told him : )
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Cute fabric though.
ReplyDeleteThis is not a criticism - we all need bargains and entertainment - but this is why we need to use our specialist shops, craft and otherwise, isn't it? An employee of a craft shop who can't use scissors, I haven't laughed so much since I asked for a pizza to be half with extra cheese and half with mushrooms and the assistant told me she'd have to fetch someone else as she "never was good with fractions".
ReplyDeleteOh dear, looks like he missed out the safe use of equipment part of the staff induction day!
ReplyDeleteGreat story.
ReplyDeleteLove the story about the pizza too.
Reminds me of going through a drive thru for a drink...i ordered iced tea. When I pulled to the window to pay my bill and collect the tea the teller asked if I wanted salsa with that. I smiled and told her that I would take my tea plain thanks.
Oh you got the stripy FQs, I have seen those online, I haven't worked up the courage to go in their yet!
ReplyDeleteI love all your bargains and you got the entertainment thrown in for free!
