That doesn't bother me, its when they can see you are struggling with stuff and still sit in their bloody booth watching you. Asked for a hand with a fridge freezer once. Nae chance!!Quote:

Someone told me their wages aren't that bad.
Do you mean places like Seafield?Quote:

To be fair, they are probably instructed not to help anybody due to H & S rules. If they put their back out helping someone and then claim against their employer. (It's not that the employer cares two hoots about the worker's back - it's the possible claim that concerns them.)Quote:

There's also the fact that about 150 people per day expect them to help hump their scrap. If you can't carry it alone then take someone with you, you wouldn't expect the cashier at tescos to help you carry the family shopping would you.Quote:

Aye! And if soaps are meant to be about real life, how come nobody in soaps ever stays home and watches soaps?Quote:

Being Scottish but mistaken for being Irish does my head in, St Patrick's day is miles worse though 😣Quote:

I'm angry for you!😁Quote:

Especially if it's brickies we're talking about :wink:Quote:
