You shouldn't have told her your name twice but just said "didn't you hear me the first time"?

As I was reading it I was hoping it was a young lady who'd left the SIM and it happened to have some interesting media on it What a disappointment

FPMSL - I dunno how old you are - but that was a "thing" in our school - obviously more amongst the boys!

It's always nice when working in this type of environment, that someone shows a bit of appreciation. People are often quick to complain in retail, but it's refreshing when someone comes along and makes your day like this. It's often few and far between, but when it happens, it's nice.

Right from your user name i take it your only 18. So old lady to you is going to be 36 - 40 .Next time she comes in (if 36 - 40) show her how the camera works and get some pictures posted up

Mrs Leslie is inclined to do things like that! Nice to meet someone who is truly grateful when you help them out isn't it.
