Idiot raciest came in...........


“you see those two?” he points at two Nepalese old men and my heart sinks because I know what’s to come. “yes” “do you know why they have those stupid hats?” “nope” “ coz they are the kings body guards. Whet the hell are they doing over her...e when the should be guarding their king” looking at them id be surprised if their combined age is below 160. “I think they are probably retired” hes not listening. “well I think they should go home and do there job” “yeah coz there like mr miyagi” (I say quietly as he turns and leaves)

2 idiots in quick succession.

How is it possible that a woman stinking of piss standing in the rain holding twigs she’s picked from a rounderabout clam to be selling “luck” if she had any and I mean any at all she wouldn’t be in Aldershot.

Some girl/woman walks in “you got any jobs going” “well if you pop in a CV ill pass it on to the owner” “Er?” “a CV” “what?” “a curriculum vitae” “what?” “a résumé” “Er?” “No we don’t have any jobs sorry”

Some bloke comes in with a European accent, witch I am unable to place. And wants to see “the lightest possible glasses I have” so I show the rimless, pure titanium’s and flexons. He spends about 10 mins trying things on and wanting to weigh them. He starts going into the finer points of what a flexon frame is made of, and how much less weight a rimless is compared to a rimmed simmaler frame. So much so hes talking about weight added by spring hinges. Then out of noware he starts talking about “8 new pieces of technology to protect you from screens” but cant telly me what they are…. Or what a screen is going to do to you for that matter. I explain coatings to him but he boasts that this technology isn’t in this country yet and snorts at my lack of knowledge of it. I then say “well weight can be saved also by high index lenses and different lens designs depending on his prescription”. “ohh good no I don’t want plastic plastic is crap” “right I say a little puzzled do you have any idea of your prescription?” “+0.50 I want glass, glass is pure, its in my camera, 1.6 index glass” “you do know that that is likely to be mixed with lead to make it 1.6 and it will be more than double in weight ” he camply gasped and looked shocked. For those of you not quite understanding this is the closest analogy I can think of. Hes buying a Ferrari when all he needs is a pair of shoes and with that Ferrari he has bought a hippo and put it in the boot

3 people just came in together. “we want glasses” “right do you need eye tests or have you had them recently?” “we are on pension credit so its free” “not really what I asked. have you got prescriptions?” “we’re on pension credit so glasses are free” “umm … no they are not” “where are the free ones?” “I don’t give glasses away free” “why not?” “coz id go bankrupt” the conversation then repeats its self with him saying where on benefits so we you have to give us glasses free a lot. Then he starts to try to haggle with me. But its not really haggling he sort of trying to get me to give him a £100 frame for free. “well im gonna go to my doctor then and he’ll wright a letter saying you have to give me glasses for free” “please don’t waste the GP’s time … and im defiantly not giving you anything for free”
