Increasingly accosted by customers whenever I ventured into the shop I
pondered a solution ,My dilemna being that on the one hand I must
frequent the shop on occasion to fulfil my role as one of bp’s finest.
There is stock to be filled ,counted and ordered ,there are lists to be
checked and ticked .Many varied tasks which I must complete . The flip
side of this is ,as stated ,the tendency to be harassed by customers
with inane questions and queries ..…old people in particular must queue
outside waiting for my arrival…..I am a busy man invariably on a
mission ,I have not the time to escort people 2 feet to the milk. I can
certainly suggest on a price request that the customer look at the price
label but what is the point? It would not be proper of me to reply, “you
mean other than the ones you just walked past?” when enquired if we sell
newspapers ……this is all time consuming and uncomfortable.
Anyway as a result of my pondering (which I undertook in my own free
time of course ,pondering not being written into the labour module) I
hit upon the idea of wearing disguise ..and it works!
Now when I am stocking the ice cream freezer dressed as a traffic warden
no one accosts me! Its great I can wander around unchallenged.
