How we doing with those sausages?
So I went to @Morrisons at lunchtime. To be honest, it's a fairly regular venue for lunch especially as it has a hot food counter. Today there was a lad working the counter who I've not seen before.
Now I do eat badly tbh, my favourite is sausage and chips, I know, I know. So arriving at the counter to my dismay I saw that they were out of most items I said to the assistant "Hi, I wanted the three sausage meal deal but I see you've not got a lot?" to my amazement he said "We don't do a meal deal for that, that's a breakfast and we've stopped serving breakfast." now resisting the urge to do my best Michael Douglas impression from Falling Down I directed his attention to the HUGE board above his head "I think you'll find it says three sausage meal deal there?" I said. "Oh yeah" came the reply "Would you like me to cook some?" I told him yes and that I'd pick up some other bits and come back.
"Two minutes Turkish"
Five minutes or so later I came back to the hot food counter and I waited, and I waited, and I waited. I glanced over to the fryers and noticed raw sausages sitting in the frying basket. "Excuse me mate, have you put the sausages into cook?" I said. No, he hadn't had he! As he put them in the hot fat I was waiting for him to say "Two minutes mate" LOL. So there I stood watching the remainder of what is my 1-hour lunch tick away to oblivion while the brains of the supermarket continued to faff about with labels. What is it with supermarket workers and labels? No matter where you go, there they are, faffing about with labels.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, I left with my Flash Fried sausages and wedges. I suspect 'brains' wanted me away from his counter as quickly as possible? I look forward to the galloping gut rot that may ensue this afternoon. Tomorrow I might try Siansburys, you get a better class of gut rot there. ;-)
You're a braver man than me and also a lot nicer. I don't think i'd have been able to hold my tongue and not tell 'brains' that he should probably focus a lot more on both doing his job and his customer relations. In regards to a quick lunch I always seem to end up with a pork pie and an overpriced latte.
LOL Sounds like you're living the dream, you've managed to merge working-class food with hipster drinks. ;-)
Damn I never thought of it like that before but right now I can get a latte at my local Spoons for 99p, so I guess that gives the drink a bit more working class credentials.
