Went out for a ride this afternoon - normal thing - 21 miles becasue the tide was out
it is shorter when the tide is in
or the other way round



anyway - when I got back I realised that we needed some shopping

got to Tesco and the Scan as you SHop thingy was out of order - so I had to just get stuff and put in in the trolley

got to teh checkouts and realised that - due to several decent fofers that saved me quite a bit - I had more than I expected
so I thought it would be better to use an old fashioned manned check out
only 2 in operation
so I queued up behind 2 blokes and a couple who were being checked out and nearly finished

when they were finished the cashier asked if they had ClubCard
so took quite a while to find it and it was scanned
then she had to pay
I have no idea what she was looking at but she was scrolling up and down on her phone for a good FIVE minutes looking for something
In the end she had a head-to-head discussion with the bloke with her and he paid with his card

but WHAT????


then the 2 blokes ahead of me started - they were chatting a lot
as a result when the first blokes stuff was all done the cashier didn;t realise that she had started on the 2nd blokes stuff (there was no divider)
so she had to go back and delete stuff - which took a bit of time

then the otehr bloke's stuff had to be done



FINALLY it was mu turn and I was done in no time and had my cards ready



made me realise why I started to use the scaner that you take round with you

People
that is what the problem is
people!!

I had to take a few minutes out of my busy schedule, this evening, to clean the dining room window where a pigeon had walloped into it this afternoon 🦅

A bit late I know, but it's a long way to nowhere, and the train wasn't in a rush.
