::9.8.05:: Damn Them All

Why does Coles have people working on the cigarette counter that know nothing about cigarettes? It is damn irritating. It is bad enough that you are restricted to one stupid checkout aisle to buy fags (and don't get me started on non-smokers who use that checkout) without having to waste precious minutes of my life explaining to some stupid girl the difference between menthol and real cigarettes. Seriously, I'm a smoker. I have less minutes of my life to spare than other people. Go waste the time of the Pink Lungs, they have life-minutes to burn.

You wouldn't employ someone who didn't know the difference between pork and beef to work in the butchers, you wouldn't employ someone who didn't know the difference between fetta and jarlsberg* to work in the deli so why do it on the cigarette counter?


*Disclaimer: this is Coles who aren't known for the competency of their staff, so this may in fact be a regular occurence but I have never experienced being given jarlsberg when I ask for fetta or vice versa.

Try asking them for Rollies, the confusion is even worse, and when they squat down to rummage through the Rollie draw, hands appear with all manner of tobacco, "Is this?" or "Is this it?" or "Is this it?" or "Is this it?" or "Is this it?" or "Is this it?" or "Is this is?" and so on - the only pleasure I get as a voyeur. When they squat to rummage, sometimes a peeping furrow of flesh from their arse, or because Coles has such flimsy white shirts as their uniforms, the pleasure of a noticeable bra glimmering through.
