What to do in M&S


Marks & Spencer

One day I was shopping in Marks & Spencer (or Marcos y Espéncer, as I for reasons unknown always think of that shop, as if it was Spanish), I got a chance to take this photo showing the cachier’s side of the checkout. The first sign says:

  • Greet the customer
  • Thank the customer for waiting
  • Make a positive comment about the product being purchased
  • Promote the Credit & Loyalty Card
  • Pack product(s) with care
  • Thank your customer

I love the bit about making a positive comment. Does that mean that if I buy a packet of condoms from a nice old lady, she’ll have to make a comment about how much she likes that brand?!?
