Wrinklies go mad in M&S!

[kayos]

I know this post will just add to the myth that Scots are tight, but M&S are doing a meal for two for £10, including a bottle of wine this weekend. Being a fan of their food, but rarely shop there due to the cost, I thought, excellent a nice meal for tonight on the cheap!

Just back from the shop and it is pandemonium with wrinklies stalking the aisles and arguing over the food! I spent about 5 minutes waiting to get to the cold shelf where the meals are kept. One woman literally had all the packs of rumps steaks on the floor searching through them. I had no idea what she was doing until another lady told me she was looking for the heaviest pack!

When I finally got to the front I was outfoxed by a pincer movement by two old ladies in there seventies who attacked me from either flank and elbowed me out the way. I said, in a jocular way, "Aye just push me out the way ladies!" To which one replied, "Aye if you're not fast your last son!"

I managed to get my shopping and retreated mentally scarred, but relatively unscathed!

I work at M&S and I know that Dine In and a bank holiday weekend are a lethal combination. Tempers are fraying at the one I'm at now. Losers.

I went in last time at 9am, only to be told at the checkout I couldn't have wine until 10am! Duh, went to Costa til 10am.

Early start or late finish?

My gran and grandad love the place, I always assumed its a different generation thing with M&S

That said the food I have had from there has been as good as resturant
