This is a slightly old story now which I had forgotten about until today but I still believe worth posting. We have a customer in the shop, I would say in his fifties and is as doolally as someone on the way out. He is one those people who always walks up to a till…

There seems to be confusion with the youth of today as to what is valid ID. When working in a shop, we’re told to only accept a driving license or a passport as valid ID but if you’re sixteen and looking to buy a lottery ticket then your young Scot cards work just as well….

Last week or a few weeks ago I had a customer hand me change for whatever they purchased and when I put the change in the till I noticed that the twenty pence coin was actually gold, not silver. On further inspection the coin was actually gold and silver and not in a way that…

Those who know me will know I work in a Spar part time and those who don’t, now you do. Those who know me may also know that I have a habit of saying things without thinking but they usually turn into little funny stories I can tell on here so they are only harmful…
