so this lunchtime i thought i woudl buy myself some pants........yes pants, at some point we all need to buy some. anyway i went to uniglo (who make very good pants by the way), picked up my underwear, and took it to the till, which i might point out was unmanned.
anyway, after several minutes of looking slightly irritated in a british kind of way, some kid came over. now, i dont think i know anywhere that used credit cards by swiping them any more, pretty much everywhere is chip and pin. so when i come to pay and slot my card into the reader...he goes
'180 dat card'
....i said "sorry?"
'180 dat card'
...um....... theres me thinking, i beg your pardon young sir, what do you mean
'flip the card'
oh right, flip it over you mean, and re-insert the card the correct way up (although this would in face be the first chip and pin machine ive used to read the card upside down...but never mind that, thats not the point).
i mean how was i expect to know '180 dat card' ment turn it over....clearly uniglo clerks are a little too street for me, i should just stick to marks and spencers!
WORD!
