"Today I went shopping at Sainsbury and needed brandy to make my chicken liver pate. When I was going to pay I asked to the lady for a bottle of brandy, when for my surprise she tells me that she doesn´t know if she can sell the bottle because and quote "you wear a thing in the nose". I patiently tried to explain that I had pulmonary fibrosis and why I had to use oxygen. She replied that it did not matter and that she had to ask the manager. She called him and the talk was about me getting drunk or not. I was not believing what I heard and how much I was feeling humiliated just for the simple fact of using oxygen. Just to say that I'm 54 years old and at that moment I felt nobody. Sorry for my outburst but I'm very upset 😡
They have cut down on staff. There is self checkout and then one staff checkout (which is always busy with people buying alcohol and cigarettes).
The self checkouts always have problems and then there is no staff to help you out so you are standing around waiting for ages.
