Saturday 23rd August : Whoopee, today is the day HE comes back - and HE is bringing HIS new face.

An annoying visit to the supermarket yesterday. I had just gone into the shop to buy a pastie for lunch, but they were having a clearance of a brand of curry paste, selling it off at half price. They had two flavours, and I picked up two of each flavour. Then I paid via their self scanning till. The till misread the last coin I put in and insisted I put in an extra 8 pence. This is only about 12 cents, but I called the supervisor over anyway. He basically told me I was either mistaken or lying because the machines NEVER made a mistake.

That was not the annoying part. The really annoying thing was that I could have proved him wrong easily, but did not want to. You see the curry paste had been reduced from £2.40 to £1.20. But the self scanning till had rung them up as 20p each. Since I had bought 4 jars that meant it had undercharged me by £4, which is about six dollars. But if I used that to prove the tills were not infallible I'd have to pay the extra £4, so I kept quiet!

I guess the punishment of being thought a liar was the penalty for not coming clean about the under-pricing.

Anyway, I at least have the consolation that I can look forward to when HE comes back later today, and brings HIS new face with HIM.
