Me in Supermarket to assistant: Do you know where I would find cloves?
Assistant: We don't sell cloves here
Me: Are you sure? You must have cloves. They would be in the spices section
Asst: No you'd have to go to one of our large branches.
Me (in disbelief) : oh Ok
Find spices section, get small jar of cloves.
Angry now, find assistant,: What do you call this then?
Assistant: Oh I don't know what those are, thought you meant cloves, innit. (Points to my clothes.)
Penny drops.
Me, under my breath but loud enough for him to hear: FFS What a cretin.
Sorry folks it just slipped out.
