That’s what I’m doing.

Please, place the item in the bag

I am. I’m trying to put an item in the bag.

(rubbing bag furiously): Shit… look, the bag won’t open. Why do they make these damned bags so difficult to crack? Can I get a better bag?

Please, place the item in the bag

I can’t open the bloody bag! There must be some instructions? The bag’s not budging…It’s …

Please, place the item in the bag

Please, place the item in the bag

Okay, Okay, I’ll sort the flippin’ bag after, just give me a break.

Please, place the item in the bag

Oh, just fuck off now! I know how to shop. I have done this before you know. I usually bring my own bastard bag.

What the hell else do you think I’d do with a six pack of fizzy water? Stuff it down my pants? Like nobody would notice that.

Please, place the item in the bag …

How am I expected to balance this melon on top of a pyramid of shopping? The space is too small. It’ll fall off.

Please, place the item in the bag

See, told you. Fucking fruit pulp all over my shoes. I’m not paying for that! You can tell your manager balls to the bloody melon.

There’s no way I’m risking a trifle on there.

Please, place the item in the bag

No way!

Can’t we be sensible about this? Talk … like, man to machine.

Please, place the item in the bag

See! See! I bloody told you that would happen. Custard all over the shop. The old guy at the next till has raspberry jelly spattered all over the back of his shorts. Looks like his haemorrhoids have burst.

Wine! You want me to risk the wine on there? … Absolutely fucking not.

Please, place the item in the bag

No,

Please, place the item in the bag

You aren’t listening.

Please, place the item in the bag

Oh, for heaven’s sake, just let me pay.

Please, place the item in the bag

Fuck you, fuck the shopping, fuck the bags and fuck the fucking supermarket. I’ll get my dinner at Wetherspoons. Have a nice day.
