Re: Comfortably numb......
Ah the delights of the inane chatter at Aussie checkouts.....I've had a really severe allergy ever since I got back here 2 weeks ago, I'm allergic to the air con and chemicals in the air at work and haven't stopped sneezing since my first shift back, so there I am today, still sneezing in the checkout queue.....
Coles checkout girl with dippy inane accent, to man in front of me: "How was your day?"
Man (looking harrassed, fed up and ready to murder someone) "Bloody dreadful"
Checkout girl "Thats nice, mine was great too"
Man gives her stunned look and leaves.......
Coles checkout girl with dippy inane accent, to me: "How was your day?"
Me (looking incredulous and thinking I'll see if she listens to me if not him!): "Bloody dreadful"
Checkout girl: "Oh you're sneezing"
Me: (thinking No sh&t Sherlock) "Ï'm allergic to air conditioning"
Checkout girl: "I hope I don't catch it from you, it might turn into swine flu"
It wasn't worth wasting my breath answering that one
Do they teach these kids ANYTHING?!!

I bet you felt like slapping her
I've also noticed that the checkout chicks are always delighted no matter how our days have been. Except the Poets Day one. She's quite different
I don't mind standing in a longer queue to be served by her.Hope your allergy clears up soon

What got me most today was the quantum leap from allergies to swine flu
Think I threw her with my bags as well - several Asda green bags, but also a Sainsburys coolbag - she peered at the words "Cool Bag" suspiciously - then loaded it with tins, putting the cold stuff in the normal bags She'll go far that one....with my boot up her backside if I get her serving me again!!

Re: Comfortably numb......
Oh I'm resigned to the allergy! Environmentally friendly buildings are not people friendly, I've established that much. They seem to have run out of cash halfway through painting it too, so our whole area - oncluding the kitchen - has bare concrete walls, and everytime anything brushes against them the air fills with dust!! The WH&S rep seems to be off with stress.....
