What actually happens in the supermarket and what people say happened later are often completely different.

Please remember that the people working in the supermarket are ordinary folk just like yourselves, people from your own community who just need a job, they are often overworked, underpaid ill appreciated & treated like crap.

They get treated like something you wipe off the bottom of your shoe by customers who dont give an ounce of consideration for the fact that the poor checkout staff are simply doing a job and have been told (nay forced) to follow stupid rules etc just because the supermarket bosses etc have told them to do so.

My wife works in a supermarket & often comes home in tears because of the way she has been treated, she can be pleasant, considerate & give good customer service but there are many "customers" who revel in not only complaining but being arrogant, abusive & insulting (as well as lying through their teeth) just so they can get goods for free or reduced.
Working in a supermarket means that you have to put up with being treated like $h1t by both the company & the customers.

Many of them were appalled at this allegation & were prepared to protest themselves.

So please, bear this in mind when your calling the people at the supermarket, chances are they are actually your neighbours & not senseless morons developed on aisle 6!
