I went to Matalan,the finest store in all the land earlier to get some cheapo jeans as my Timberland favorites still have curry stains that didn't come out in the wash.
I saw some decent ones for £6 so I got them and joined the queue at the checkouts.
"Please come to checkout 5" said the announcement thing so I walked up and plonked my jeans on the counter.
An attractive girl,maybe early 20's was behind the counter and said , " So,what are your plans for tonight?"
suprised, I said " Err, just going to the pub"
" yeah?, which pub is that then" she beamed,to which I told her what pub.
"Oh I think I know that one", she said
Money exchanged and jeans were bagged up
"Do you want the hanger too?"
"Oh yes please" I replied
I'm just about to walk off when she starts asking what I do for a living.
I wanted to know was she flirting or is the customer service really that friendly as it is not the norm over here in the UK to hold up queues with idle chit chat unless your a pensioner at the post office.
I told my friend and he said he had the same thing before when he went there.
It will be funny if she shows up at the pub later,though probably not but if she did then I know I'm being stalked by a nymphomaniac or a mass murderer.
So,all you UK heads go to Matalan and see if you get the same treatment
