When I was shopping recently I went into a well known health foodstore to stock up on dried fruit and nuts.

Apart from one other customer who was browsing I was the only one in the shop.

The male shop assistant was in his early twenties and seemed nice when I went to pay.  Then he went and changed my perception of him as he took a water bottle and proceeded to drink from it while I waited for my card payment to go through.

I looked at him in amazement, if he was so thirsty could he not have waited till I left the counter?

Perhaps I am just becoming a grumpy old woman and expecting too much from sales assistants.
