Thanks, Maureen, Bob, Vic and Darren,Martyboy , I think that they are just trying to make a quid like everyone else, It seems that they are required by their employer to go through a set patter. It would be a bit hard in a big shop like Woolies with hundreds of customers each day.

The newsagent here says G'day.... or actually..G'da :lol: .

Heather, Stephen, It's a POEM. Who said the speaker was me. :roll: :D


I'm too slow on texting Maureen ?? lost me.

The little sticker you often see stuck on the tills as a prompt to the staff to say to customers TYFSAT - Thank you for shopping at Target etc etc :o

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

Ahh I see Maureen.
I understand that they want to be seen as friendly to customers, no doubt some really are, but the impression of automatic pilot is very strong.

Have you ever said hello to someone and had them reply "good thanks"? Automatic response.

That's why we chose that.

I have changed the wording of the verse Heather, it was a bad idea, I wouldn't want it thought that I condone being a crass oaf to young ladies. :oops:
