Tesco's = the twilight zone

Went to Tesco's for some food this evening, got some icecream out of the fridge, go off to pay. The guy at the till says:
"I can't sell you this, you have to get another"
I say:
"Huh?"
He says:
"I can't sell you this, you have to get another"
I say:
"another tub?"
He says:
"No, you have to get another flavour"
He then sells me the other flavour. My life has become a david lynch film.

You should go back and ask what was wrong with the other flavor. If they're putting baby batter in the vanilla ice cream the manager should probably know about it.

In fact, Every British Supermarket I've been to has been like K-Mart, except dustier
Why the hell are the floors always covered in dust?

rofl that reminds me. Some guy on some other forums I post on got ID'd for cheese in a supermarket. He was over 18, not that it should matter, and trying to buy some strong cheddar, which, on the packaging said 'for adults only' (a joke, due to the strength of it). The idiot behind the counter wouldn't even accept his drivers license as proof he was old enough, in the end he had to call the manager of the store who just laughed and let him buy it.

Every supermarket I've been in has been really clean, you must have gone to some back-street ones.

The best places are those 24 hour shops where there's a random guy sleeping on the floor on a piece of cardboard, to be woken up if anyone tries to rob the store

Have you noticed how in the back, there's usually some 9 year old kid sweeping up (and learning a career at the same time). Was certainly true ofthe one in Iffley Road.

Heh, I knew some people who went to Poland for some sort of "language trip". During their bus trip, they went to some back-street McDonalds and bought Big Macs. They had to stop the bus on the highway as everyone was leaning over the rails puking their lungs out
I laughed at their stupidity when I heard that story.
1. Who goes to McDonalds?
2. Who goes to McDonalds in Poland except cockroaches?

While i envy you your experience, I'm confused.
why the fuck didn't you at least ask WHY he wouldn't sell you the first flavour?
