"Do you want a hand with your packing love?"
"No thanks, I'll manage"
Why do checkout women see that line as a challenge? I can almost hear them thinking "NO YOU FUCKING WON'T"
I'm trying to do them a favour, I figure their job is shitty enough, without having to pack peoples bags for them as well. I'd love a hand with my packing, I fucking hate packing the shopping. I'd pay someone to pack my bags. It just feels the right thing to say, like checkout etiquette.
I'm tempted next time, to say "Yeah please pack my bags for me" and then just stand and watch. Better that than be stood like a complete arse, with a mounting pile of tins and boxes which don't seem to want to go in the bags at all.
I think they just enjoy watching poor blokes sweating, trying to keep up as they frantically scan and sling items at us.
That's it, all I have to say on that one.
In fact, on a similar note, has anyone else noticed Tesco carrier bags have got really thin over the past two years? They are now just thick enough to make it to the car in one piece. However, making from the car to the front door in one piece seems to be a bridge too far for em.
