I don’t ask for much in life but if there is one thing that irritates me is the Spar on Bath Street, those of you that have had the misfortune of visiting the shop will know what I mean, those of you that haven’t well consider yourself lucky!
Before work every day I go into this shop to purchase my daily essentials to help me survive another day and I’m not the only one the shop is full of people doing the same thing. Despite having 4 cash registers they insist on staffing the shop with 1 staff member, 2 when the number of people in the shop becomes an extreme safety hazard.
Customer service, well that’s a joke! If I buy a bottle of coke for 97p, (yeah 97p isn’t that a rip off too?) and pay with a £10 note they get all surly with me and ask me if I have any smaller change, well if I did you fucking halfwit wouldn’t I have given you it? Why would I want a pocketful f change? I buy a packet of chewing gum and they ask me if I want a bag? A bag for christsake! Are they winding me up here? If I buy 2 1 litre bottles of drink, 2 bags of crisps, a newspaper and a bar of chocolate they put it in the same bag and its one of those shitty ones that can’t take any weight!
It takes me 10 minutes to walk to work and an additional 4 to 6 minutes in the shop, what’s that about? One day I’m gonna just slam my money on the counter all in pennies and watch the bastards count it all up.
Then there’s the Yorkie bars, these are a treat and out of the few hundred bars I have bought from this shop in the past few years do you know how many have been intact? None, not one! How is this possible? I’ll tell you how and that is that there is some little git in the back smashing the crap out of the boxes with a small hammer and if I ever catch him I’ll smash him with a hammer let me tell you. In most other places all the bars are intact with all the chunks attached to each other but not in this shop and this pisses me off! I know I’m gonna break them off anyway but that’s not the point, when I do I want to do it on my terms!
Yeah I know I could take my custom elsewhere but that would mean carrying my stuff with me to the office and if wanted to carry things then I would be a postman of hod carrier or something.

Stuff the yorkie down the crapper and cut out the middle man. Stick to Curley Wurleys.
