The Couple

December 3, 2007

Working in the retail business you notice several things, the one I always seem to notice the most frandom ones.

 For example: I was walking around great old sainsburys when I come across this couple. they are always in the store whenever I’m there, or at least they come in a lot.  The thing is they are always arguing about something and it tends to go like this;

him(whilst putting soup in trolley):I want this for dinner tonight.

her: But you hate that soup

him: No I don’t, who have you been married to for the last 40(approx) years,

her:BUT YOU DON’T LIKE THAT BRAND!!,

he storms off and she follows muttering. This carries on all the way around the store, only this time it goes a step further. I’m at the customer service desk when the lady walks up to the desk and starts to complin that her husbnd has driven off without her in their car. At this we all try not to laugh as she wants to talk to the manager, as if it was our fault, the manager comes down and tries to symperthise with her. About half an hour later the husband comes back to the store to get her, they then carry on the arguement whilst getting in the car and loading the shopping in the boot. After this finishes we all collapse in a fit of hysterics.

 More episodes from the consumer world soon,
