to the checkouts I put the magazine back on the shelf
“I'm not taking this without the CD's there's no point!”
I raged
“Let's pay for your book and leave Skye I'm not a happy
camper today!
What's the World coming to I grumbled to myself as we neared
the checkouts? Upon reaching the counter there was the usual good-natured
greeting from George.
“Hi guys how are you today?” George enquired with his customary
pleasant manner. Now what this place needs I thought to
myself is more terrific staff like George.
That guy always does his very best and really does give a damn about the customer.
“Well to be honest George I’ma
bit pissed off with the lack of service I received this morning from Brian
over in the magazine department. As you know every week I buy computer magazines
from you guys. One of the main reasons I buy them is for the programs on the
cover disks.
It’s not the first time I’ve had this attitude from
Brian. I don’t know what his problem is but I just put the magazine
back on the shelf. After being told by Brian that maybe I should try “Indigo”
as he couldn’t find the appropriate CD.
“Oh we can’t have that!”
an obviously startled George retorted.
“Let me get the Manager for you.”
“Thanks George I appreciate that.
A gentleman at the counter standing beside
George asked me the name and month of the magazine. After I’d replied
he turned and headed for the department. Skye and myself returned to the department
to retrieve the magazine having every confidence that we would eventually
get the discs. We returned to the checkout and sure enough there was George
with the CD’s in his hand. After receiving them I thanked George and
asked where the Manager was so that I could thank him for finding the CD’s.
“Oh that was Richard the guy standing next
to me with the glassed.”
“Thanks”
Off I went in search of Richard after finding him I extended
my hand and thanked him for his assistance.
