Well I've always been gilt edged, I glitter!
Does this make me a racist? Page 2

Should have asked for...wait for it...a bard trimmer!
Maybe next time you go into that branch of Boots, you should just write down what you want...oh wait...
I'm a fighter not a writer!

'Wants to see the CCTV footage'.
Quote: sootyj @ April 4 2012, 8:48 PM BSTI was in a branch of Boots where I was trying to buy a beard trimmer.
All 3 of the shop assistants I asked lacked the English to be able to help with this most basic request.
Am I racist for being sligtly miffed and having to find said device myself.
I would have mimed trimming my beard, but thought it might be offensive to Jews or Muslims
Yeah... it does a bit.

I think it is against Shariah Law to defile/cut a beard considered very anti-islamic, maybe that is why they felt they couldn't discuss it?
Why not use scissors?...
Why not get shop assistants that follow the prevailing law / custom in the country that is giving them employment ?
I served a customer today who wanted some Carling, so I showed him to the lager isle. He laughed and said, "No, carlin." I stared at him blankly.
Works both ways I suppose?
I'm still not sure what "Carlin" is but according to him you have it with onions.
Carlin??
Oh, he was a Johnny Foreigner. He repeated the same words over and over, increasingly getting more louder and angrier whilst pointing harder at the bag of onions he was trying to buy.
People are weird.
I'm really curious to know what he wanted now. Disproportionately curious.
