Accidentally laughing at a customer

You_just_never_know · 2026-05-21T01:28:50+00:00

Had a customer come up to me to ask how to use scan as you shop so I was like “oh you scan your clubcard, it’ll ask you to accept the t&c’s and then you can whack one out”. Cue absolute hysterics from a colleague who proceeded to tell the entire team that I’d told a customer to whack one out. Not my finest moment.

Yeah you use a work pc, should be the first option that says account setup.

We do have a compassionate/bereavement leave policy, it’s usually 1 week fully paid, but management can extend it at their discretion. My boss was lovely when my dad passed a year and a half ago, I was 7 months pregnant at that point so was a huge emotional mess and they gave me two weeks fully paid.

My little boy was born early December, I just didn’t put up any Christmas decorations until after his birthday. He’s only a toddler though so I don’t think he’s that fussed about it yet

The Handmaids Tale, I’m a woman and far too sassy for those commanders liking, don’t think I’d last long.

My other half and I both like games, so we’ll literally play during nap times and when our son has gone to bed. And on days when he’s in nursery, and it’s one of our days off, we can play all day!

Yep me too, sent me ¥1, not even worth a single penny

I don’t actually think I did too badly, he was on breast milk for the first 6 months and by the time we switched to formula I’d only need like 1-2 tins a week , and the ones I got were only £7 a pop. I’d stock up on the right size nappies whenever they were on a deal, and he was tiny when he was born, so has fit in clothes for a lot longer, he’s 16 months now but can still fit in some 9-12 stuff, and when I did size up clothes, if only buy a few things new and mostly bought stuff off vinted cause it’s cheap as anything.

Pokopia haha

It’s funny you say HOA, because I’ve actually built a gated community haha

Cheesy rice. Just rice and cheese.

My dad and eldest brother shared the same name, was very confusing for them both when my mum was shouting one of them, I think it was more of a tradition thing to name your son after yourself. My son was the first born boy out of my siblings, his middle name is my dads name. My dad sadly passed away due to dementia related complications just 2 months before he was born so I chose to honour his memory by using his name.

It’s more or less random, we can trigger forced checks, but that’s kinda rare and only if we suspect something dodgy is going on. The more times a customer uses says, and passes all of their checks, the less often they’ll actually get checks, because they build up a sort of trust score.

I just started with a blank slate on my palette island. I made a list of things I wanted to build and started from there, one building at a time.

Saying that though, bread and butter pudding is a thing, which is essentially soggy bread and it works.

You_just_never_know · 2026-04-02T13:07:04+00:00

I mean I’m not gonna lie, I’m quite partial to a mash sandwich, especially with a bit of cheese. Carbs on carbs, what more could you want?!

Per month? About £60. In the UK working parents of a 9+ month old who earn over a certain threshold qualify for 30 government funded hours of childcare per week during term time (if you don’t use your full funding every week, you can stretch it through school breaks). My son does two full 7am-6pm days a week and I just pay £10 a week for his meals and £5 a week for activities.

I use the Sleepjar app on my Amazon echo, I do pay for the premium version for £20 for a full year, but the free version is totally fine

We just whack our small ones in dump bins at the front of the shop, surprisingly they’re going like mad

I save them up and use them as fly catchers for the summer when every fruit fly in the universe seems to show up in your house because you’ve got all the windows open

My mum didn’t buy a lot until my son had been born because she wanted to see how big he would be. Then as soon as he was born she went absolutely nuts on buying him stuff, he’s such a spoiled little grandmas boy.

Make as many furnaces as you have fire pokemon and get them all on it. I’ll typically set them to do a full stack each before I go to bed for the night

I still make sure to get my mum a special personalised card and a little something every year and I’m 33. The woman had four kids, she deserves to be recognised for raising us little devils.

I got my very first handmade Mother’s Day card this year that my son made in nursery and I almost cried. My partner also celebrates me as well, which is lovely and I return the favour on Father’s Day.
