So I walked up to the "gentleman" concerned. "Excuse me I require this chair for a table where there are people who require accessible seating due to disability" his response was - "tough I require it for my belongings" my response was "let me qualify that for you Sir. You require it for your BROKEN belongings cos if you have not shifted the fu**Ing crap by the time I count to 5 they will be on the floor - bust. This is an accessibility table for people with a DISABILITY and being an ARROGANT ARSEHOLE is not and never has been a recognized disability" (the latter delivered with a sweet and innocent smile of pure malevolence) :evil: :evil:

Good for you Steph :thumbup:. My local Morrisons cafe has a similar section of accessible tables, and the notice could not be more prominent.
I just wonder whether a bloke would have been able to get away with what you did - it's more difficult for us to put on that sweet innocent smile. :cry:

Ohhhhhhhhh I think I have open here for you which should be a contender.
I went to a local Morrison's on Saturday with My Mom, Dad and Aunt. We decided to eat in their CafÃ© and needed a accessible table for my Mum and Aunt. Now picture this there are 3 such tables. Table 1 was occupied by a disabled lady and carer. Table 2 was occupied by a family of three sitting there no disability and Table 3 only had three chairs compared with table 2 which had 4.
So being the very nice quiet polite person I am I asked one of the staff to get the fourth chair from Table 2. They came back saying the lad had refused saying HE needed it for his laptop.

I then gripped the chair menacingly and started to pull it back as I counted down. By the time I got to 2 he had removed his belongings. He was most aggrieved - did this bother me? :wink:
I was chatting to the Manager of the store and he supported my stance :wink: I think they wont be returning to Morrison's anytime soon.

Supermarkets and in fact any kind of huge corporate selling machine are entirely hateful. The answer is quite simple really.
Issue serious customers with a cattle prod, which can be used to get tourists, idiots and dreamers out of the way. Any dimwit found dithering receives a burst of high voltage to the back of the neck.
Issue of megaphones to yell at staff, and other wazzocks littering the store.
Along with this a length of pipe to beat staff with as they lumber about looking moronic and generally displeasing.
A daily crucifixion of a middle manager.
Vultures and buzzards circling in the carpark as bodies, found in the aisles are thrown out with the trollies.
When queuing, a team of dog handlers that seek out incompetent customers. A grab arm to lift out any idiots who don't have, cash, the right credit or card details, anyone arranging complicated deliveries or making long winded complaints at the service desk.
Pyschological profilers who can spot foolish customers and divert them down a tunnel into a slurry tanker.
A canteen where imbeciles can be poisoned with ghastly coffee and damp stinking muffins.
That's about it for now, More later when I've really thought about it.

I work in a supermarket, and I've found that some customers, rather than look round the store for themselves, come straight in the doors, find the nearest staff member and ask them to show them where something is, which more often than not is right at the other end of the store. It would probably be better if the staff member hadn't just come from the other end of the store...........:giveup:
As you can probably guess, I've just finished work :mrgreen:

I shop online, so when I do shop instore I'm kinda lost. I only shop instore if I desparately need something and then I'm usually in a rush and am guilty of asking store staff to help me find things all the time. redface

They don't seem to mind :P

I don't mind people asking me where to find things, its just the ones that don't even bother looking that do my swede in. On the whole though I find most of the people quite nice
