I?m not a regular customer at this shop. Well I mean I don?t go in every day. I go in now and again, (well I did).Popped in recently. There were no other customers in the shop, I think, certainly none up the counter. I walked up to the counter to do my business. There was only one young female member of staff on. She briefly looked up, so saw me approaching the counter. She was standing up the counter on the other side, and tapping away on her keyboard. I thought I?d be polite and let her finish whatever she?s doing. So I stood there for a minute or two readying my cash, to hand over etc etc. Basically at this point I was being ignored. So eventually I was getting fed up of waiting, so I attempted making subtle eye contact to hurry her along a little. Then out of the blue she shouted at me rather curtly, ?I?M OVER HERE!? Well ?over here? was literally one step to my left, which I took, and then she served me. I was trying to work out by the snappy, aggressive tone of her mini outburst whether she thought I was a simpleton or she was treating me like something she?d scraped of her shoe. Bit of both I think. I did nothing to deserve that kind of treatment.All the male staff members I?ve encountered here are friendly, polite, courteous and treat customers with respect. One in particular, (cant remember his name) who was very friendly and was very helpful indeed!I prefer my leisure pursuits to be hassle free amongst other things. So I won?t be frequenting this establishment again.
