Years ago I went into a B&Q store and loaded up timber, plaster board, plaster and the odds and ends needed to construct a stud partition wall.


I dragged it to the check and was told they were closing it it and I would have to use the self service tills, I said some of the stuff didn’t have barcodes on, but they said I still had to use the self service till.


When I placed around the tenth length of CLS timber studding onto the bagging area a member of staff came running over and asked “What the hell do you think you are doing?”, I replied following the instructions from the till.


The guy then got stroppier as I pointed out I had taken to a till, but had been turned away,, as he was getting stroppy I stepped back and said “”Just do what I asked in the first place and ring it though for me or you can go and put it back on the racks “, by this point all the other customers were laughing at the B&Q staff muttering comments like what did they expect, as they could all see the the stuff on the trolley was never going to fit in the bagging area.


I knocked the idea of popping into B&Q for stuff on the head years ago, despite their tie up with NAPIT that was supposed to give me better discounts.
