I've been thinking of you this week. I'm tempted to visit my M&S and take up residence in the cafe so that I can see for myself just how bad the customers are.
It has been grim. However, next week (sales and xmas gift returns) will be even worse.
I have been keeping myself amused by counting the number of regular customers who are complaining about 'the sort people who only come in here at this time of year and make it busier for the rest of us'. Entitlement much? They actually genuinely think M&S should discourage seasonal shoppers in deference to the regulars. Hahahahahahahaha.
I have been reliably informed that two customers were fighting over a turkey earlier. Didn't see it myself, but the thought of the twin set and pearls brigade having a set-to never fails to raise a smile :)
"But I want a latte! It's ridiculous that you will not give me a latte when I want one! I want one! Me! You have a machine, I can see your machine. Make me a latte! I care not for the so-called *reasons* you can't. I want one! Waaah waaah waah."
I used to work in a cafe, and I distinctly remember the utter joy when one of the other staff actually told a really difficult customer to "Fuck off". I would never have got away with it, but he did.
I remember people climbing over piled up furniture, into a darkened shop, and being upset do discover that no, they couldn't have chips and no I couldn't just turn the fryer back on for them...
