Apothecary Blues

Why is it that..

• you go into a shop and there's nobody waiting to pay, but once you've chosen your items there's a queue six deep and only one assistant at the tills..


• while you wait (im)patiently a call goes out for more staff on the tills - and the extra staff appear just as you get to the front of the queue anyway..


• you pay, only to find that the fabulous special offer on your favourite brand that enticed you to stock up doesn't apply to the particular item you chose..

Thank goodness that doesn't happen in my LYS!
