At the shopping centre, at the patisserie, choosing a product I hear - “No No No, don’t take that one, that is an old one.”
Attendant reaches below the counter and hands me another one.
“This is a fresh one”
Gusman admonished by staff Pleading face 
How often do you receive a verbal slap on the wrist?
Lets just hope it wasn’t the one she had dropped on the floor.

That was a verbal slap on the wrist???
To me it seemed more like a kind gesture. Someone going beyond the call of duty.

It was the tone of voice she used. Which can come across quite abruptly.
I did thank her for giving me a fresh one.

I feel your pain. I was chastised (I suspect the clerk thought she was helpfully educating me) while I was in the self-checkout line (I already knew what I was doing). The odd thing was that she then hovered over my shoulder, while I continued to do her work. I didn’t say anything (never do), but it occurred to me that the company had insidiously started to train me for a job I was paying them to do.
I wonder, where do I go to pick up my paycheck? Prices certainly aren’t any lower.

I’ve always thought that stuff should be cheaper if you use the self service.
It’s easier to steal stuff I suppose so it has that advantage.

I think violence is over rated.
I did slip over next to the freezers once and a very concerned member of staff rushed over and plonked a" danger,slippery surface" cone next to me.
