See a door that says push. i bloody pull every damn time, but why? It has in the past lead to me talking to doors as i approach them wagging my finger at it saying "just you dare..." Often people would stand, look around mistakenly thinking i'm admonishing them or someone around them. So they stop, and looking perplexed they then as they see me cobble myself against said door. A look of relief and yes even joy, that it wasn't indeed them i was wagging my finger at, can be seen crossing there what was furrowing brow. Ahh but all harmelss fun you think? But no look, indeed you must, towards chaos theory.
That person stopping for a moment to look and wonder might just mean that they are late for a bus. They then run for that bus knocking into a dear sweet old lady. In turn accidentally making her stumnle against a guy trying to hail a cab, thus pushing him into a line of rushing traffic thus killing him stone dead.
Do you see a pulled push door makes me a murderer!! OMG the guilt the self loathing the shame. What would I tell my kids how would my wife cope Would my parents disown me? life would become to much too bear leading me possibly to the church where they would play with my mind and i would become a choraster singing in latin.
Surely i would be Lost.
Minx specialisesin Sat Nag, impossible to switch off.
The self-serve tills at Asda are rubbish. You have to put your stuff in one of their bags on the hanger thing - no options.
If you don't need a bag it throws a hissy fit and sends for a supervisor who takes 20 mins to turn up.
If you drop your purse on the side where the bags are - hissy fit.
If you move something inside the bag (I don't want yogurts laying on their sides for instance) - hissy fit.
If you don't put something in the bag fast enough - hissy fit.
Totally f******g useless.
At our local shop they put an auto till in a few months ago. Last week i popped in fer a packet of fags and there were two girls staffing the "auto till assistance" counter and a third one who should have been on the real till helping them work out why it wouldnt weigh a tomato for a fella who frankly looked like he was on the verge of running away sans salad.
Banks, shops, factories, and all manner of business would all do well to remember the value of humans in a service situation.
