Working in a Supermarket means I have regular contact with the General Public, and sometimes I do wonder how some of these people manage to even dress themselves in the morning. Today I found a list of some of the most moronic things I was asked one day when there wasn’t much work to do. Here is a selection of some of the things I was asked and some of the responses from customers to my questions….
Taking in Films
Me: Which size prints would you like?
Customer: 1 Hour.
Me: When would you like these films ready by?
Customer: As soon as possible!
Me: 1 Hour?
Customer: Oh God no! Not that quickly!
Customers Using the Digital Kiosk
Customer: What does this mean?
Me: What does it say on the screen?
Customer: It says do you want to put your photos onto a CD?
Me: …Well do you want to put your photos onto a CD?
Customer: No
Me: Then press no.
Customer finishes order and receipts come out of the kiosk.
Customer: Is this machine not instant?
Me: No, that’s our instant kiosk over there *points at large standalone unit with Instant Print Kiosk written down the side*
Customer: Oh I thought this was instant
Me: *Looks at Receipt* You’ve chosen the 1 Hour service on here.
Customer: Oh, so that isn’t instant then?
Customers Using the Instant Kiosk
*Sound of coins going in the top slot and coming straight out the rejected coins slot at the bottom*
Customer: This machine is broken!
Me: What seems to be the problem?
Customer: It’s not taking my money!
Me: That’s because it only takes card payment, not cash.
Customer: There should be a sign saying that!
Me: You mean like that one? *Points at sign saying just that right above the cash slot they have been putting coins into.*
…I am so looking forward to going back next week!

Today, whilst the weather was good this morning I went on a quick trip to Brighton to drop off a few films for processing at The Vault. On the way back I decided to stop off and take some photos of the Pier whilst I was there.
A Seagull flies over Brighton Pier in bright sunshine, I had to wait for thirty minutes to get one seagull in this shot…normally you wouldn’t have to wait thirty seconds!
Two Union Jacks fly above Brighton Pier in summer sunshine.

Hopefully the weather will stay nice and sunny till at least the beginning of next week….when my holiday finishes and I have to go back go work.

These are a few photos that I took on Monday whilst I was out walking on Shoreham Beach. I have decided not to upload them to www.shorehamphotos.com but I thought I would post them on here and share them anyway.

Seeing as the sun has decided to come out for summer I decided to go for a walk along Shoreham Beach to enjoy the weather while it lasts!

I have uploaded these images to the Shoreham Photos Gallery for anyone to purchase if they want. In the meantime hopefully the weather will hold out long enough to get some more shots of Shoreham in Sunshine.
