I was at a loose end yesterday. My girlfriend had gone off to Surrey on a 'How to murder your partner in 25 different way's' course!!! so I was left on my own.
Then I remembered a card that had been pushed through my letter box. It was a free invite to shop at a hyper market that is usually only open to the trade. I had seen some batteries advertised for cheap so I thought I would go an buy some.
There were no hand baskets available so I took a Trolley. 40 minutes later the trolley was full to overflowing. I had gone round thinking 'oooh that's nice'!!!! and buying all sorts of things, I thought I would need. The worse part was joining the mile long queues to the till. It took about as long to get there as to shop, but with a sense of relief I handed my free pass to the check out operator. He gave a sharp intake of breath and said 'Sorry mate, you need to take this to reception show them 3 types of ID and a utility bill and fill out a form' I replied very politely 'But it doesn't say that on the invitation' The till operator laughed 'No sir'
So here is the question. Did I.
1. Abandon my shopping, drive home to get utility bill' drive back and fill in form, rejoin the now 2 mile long queue
or
B. Make such a fuss that they let me through.
