I went to the supermarket today and they have new system - it's one of the self-dispensing "take a number and wait" things so I took a number - 701. The PA came over - "Now serving 498".



What? There are 202 people in front of me? But then the the PA went to 499, 500 , 501 , 502 etc. After 500, nobody stepped forward to the counter but it went on:
... 503 ... pause ... 504 ... pause... 506 ....

(cue hi-speed montage of bored shoppers)

... 531 ... pause ... 532 ... pause ... 533 ....

(cue even higher hi-speed montage of *really* bored shoppers)

... 557 ... pause ... 558 ... pause ... 559 ....

Finally ,after about 5 months weeks days hours minutes of this stupidity, a supervisor got to the speaker and spoke to them - but forgot to turn the PA off.

So this is broadcast to the whole supermarket:
Supervisor: "Don't call those ones out, please"
Staff: "Why not?"
Supervisor: "They are all missing - we've used them for something else."

Clearly he meant that that customers HAVE GONE MISSING AND ARE BEING USED AS SAUSAGE MEAT! You heard it here first folks!

What? It's a rant, it's not meant to be rational!

See, you would eat these sausages without a moment's hesitation, wouldn't you?

If Buffy made it, sure! Otherwise, I make a sorry carnivore. I'm squeamish and very picky when it comes to flesh, and I prefer tofu!
