Halfords........

[Rilot]

I just went to Halfords at lunch time to buy a battery powered tyre pump, a can of tyre weld, some cloths and a few other bits and pieces. The altercation at the checkout I have re-produced for your amusement.

Me: *Puts items on cash desk*
Girl: *Rings up items*
Me: *Pays for items*
Me: Can I have a bag?
Girl: Bags are 2p
Me: *Hands over Visa again* OK, can I have a bag?
Girl: Sorry, we can't accept Visa for 2p
Me: I need a bag.
Girl: They're 2p
Me: I don't have any cash. Can you just give me a bag?
Girl: No *starts serving customer behind me*
Me: Attempts to carry items and drops several

FFS. Why didn't she just ask me if I wanted a bag for my many items when she rang them up in the first place?

you should have asked for a refund of it all, then re purchased it again with a bag

Hmm, I didn't think of that. That would have been an excellent plan.

I think it's reasonable to assume that, considering what you bought, you have a car. If you managed to carry the stuff to the till, surely you can manage another 5-10metres to your car?

Yes, she should have asked you if you wanted a bag, but is it really that big a deal?

I had walked as the Halfords is about 750M from where I work.
