You would think that the people who shop at Fruit and Veg City would have manners \u2013 after all they are supposed to be getting items at a decent price. But, NO, the customers are rude, block the aisles, push in front of you, reach over your person and trolley whilst you are choosing items and generally raise one\u2019s blood pressure more than a notch. The same too for the staff \u2013 I saw staff blocking aisles, walking aimlessly around chatting loudly, pointedly ignoring customers and generally placing their fat useless bodies in the way of everyone.<\/p>\n
The worst is when you politely ask if you may squeeze past and you get this acid look of disgust as if you were the spinach leaf that someone slipped on or the cockroach that should be stepped on. Sometimes the look is the one that I imagine old Juliarse gets whenever he thinks of FW De Klerk<\/a>.<\/p>\n
In fact \u2013 I bought far LESS than I intended and, to top it all the following happened as I attempted to leave the store \u2013 The exit is up a ramp and it is common courtesy to wait for people who have embarked DOWN the ramp to finish their maneuver, especially when a FAT ARSED SULLEN GIT is blocking the left hand lane of the ramp. So, I waited for an older gentleman who attempted to squeeze through the now single lane. But, some other FAT ARSED LAZY GIT shoved himself past me and the gentleman I was waiting for. Behind him was a woman and I waited for her to descend before proceeding. If only I was allowed to carry a gun!<\/p>\n
I can only say to the management at Fruit and Veg City; \u201cGuys, you are doing yourselves a great disservice here \u2013 work on the customer service please, educate your half wit customers in proper etiquette\u00a0 and make the aisles BIGGER. Until then I shall return to shopping at my local friendly supermarket where there is a smile on every employee\u2019s face!\u201d<\/p>\n

Every now and then I venture into the shop known as Fruit and Veg.
