18 Problems All WHSmith Employees Will Understand

16. There Are Too Many Till Side Promotions

So here a daily Saturday afternoon chat with a customer, which occurs probably between 300 and 600 times a day. You: "Hi! How would you like to buy this bar of Galaxy for a pound?" Customer: "No" You: "How about these Chocolate Oranges? Three for two pounds!" Customer: "Nope" You: "Well can I at least interest you in this Lonely Planet Travel Guide to Korea? It's on offer today at half price" Customer: "No thank you" You: "Ok well how about -" Customer: "Please can I just pay for my newspaper and go now?" You: "Sure no problem" *crying inside* Your life is SO HARD.
