Worrying Things Afoot At The Co-Op

[bednobs]

there was a woman in front of me in the co-op today who was buying a pack of fosters for £8. She said to the person behind the till "how much would it be if i bought two of these for £8 each" he looked at her a bit strangely (as did most of the people in the queue) so she asked him again prefacing it with "sorry, i'm rubbish at maths"
Now, i can fully appreciate that maths is hard for some (indeed it is for me at times) and although i do wonder how people survive in life with maths skills as poor as this, i can appreciate that not everyone has the same level of intelligence.

However, what totally amazed me was that the person behind the till had to call the manager to get the answer!

Ooooooo, I was referring to the frizzy haired one in MY Co-op, everyone avoids her till. She even wears funny shoes.
Folks don't even pop to the ciggie counter for a quick checkout if she is on there.

We are in a small village Boo, pretty much everybody are on first name terms, so asking things like that they don't bat an eyelid, (lots of frowning as they try and work it out), and nooooo, I'm not from here!

I had a Saturday job in a shop, one day my colleague asked me how much 10 x would be. I looked at her in bewilderment......bewildered by her ignorance that is......
