Morning all……..
Today finds me in a lazy mood so we delve back in the archives. Three years ago we brought you a piece about Daniel Levy……(There's a shock)
I was in Tesco yesterday morning and spotted Daniel Levy at the checkout. I couldn't help but listen as he fine tuned his technique..............
Checkout Girl: That'll be £156 exactly, do you have a clubcard?
DL: Well i've got this.....(Waves a Spurs shop staff discount card under the girls nose)
Checkout Girl: I'm sorry sir, we don't accept those
DL: How can I pay?
Checkout Girl: Well sir, you can pay by cash or by using your debit or credit card
DL: No no no, I mean can I put half down now, a quarter in a years time and the final instalment after i've made 10 more appearances in this store?
Checkout Girl: Sorry sir?
DL: Tell you what.........I'll give you £90 now in one payment and £30 in 6 months time
Checkout Girl: That only comes to £120 sir. I need £156 in full and i'm afraid you have to pay it now, before you leave the store
DL: I see, playing hardball are we?
Checkout Girl: No sir, i'm just doing my job, now could you please pay the bill sir? There are other customers waiting behind you
DL: Customers my arse, at least two of them are licensed agents hoping to make a few clubcard points on the deal......OK what time do you close?
Checkout Girl: 7pm sir
DL: I'll be back to do a deal at 5 to seven......…..
Old habits are hard to break.
And finally:
I was having an argument with Mrs A&C last night
She said "You treat our relationship like its some kind of game!"
"Unfortunately that has cost you 20 seconds off the clock and 8 points" I replied.
