DeeKnow’s Grotto

How's this for tragic? Yesterday I was thrown out of our local Warehouse branch in Hillcrest for disorderly behaviour. Strange, but true. Here's how the exciting drama unfolded...

A few of us from work had been to the Hillcrest tavern for lunch as we normally do on a Friday. We'd had a couple of beers and were on our way back to work when a couple of the lads thought they'd drop into the Warehouse quickly for some 'bargain' hunting, music or fish-hooks or something that were on special.

I hadn't had any lunch apart from a few chips I'd scrounged off one of the others so I left them to it and grabbed a sausage-n-bread from the folks having a fry-up outside the shop. Halfway through the snack I thought I'd pop my head inside the store to see what they others were up to.

Just inside the door was an X-Box stand with a young kid playing some shoot-em-up game that looked interesting so I stopped there looking over his shoulder. Next thing I hear this gruff voice say "Move to the other side please!!" and I look round to see this old dude at the door holding a clip-board and glaring at me.

I says to him "What?..." and he says "Can you move out of the way please". So I'm thinking what the hell is he on about. So I ask him "Why?" and he says "I'm security, I cant see past you". He pretty much had an unobstructed view of the entire store at this point.

Despite this, and knowing what pedantic idiots some security staff can be, I says to him "OK. OK ... chill-out". This didn't go down to well with our anal-retentive-aged-security-agent who continued glaring at me. All of a sudden his face lit up when he spotted my sausage. "You cant eat that in here either, I'll have to ask you to step outside".

This really was too much. It wasn't like I was handling any store goods with my tomato-sauce smudged hands or anything. I immediately lost my cool, red-mist-rising, I blasted out at him "Whats Your Effin Problem" and stormed off out the door.

What a shocker !!!
