I was going to get a scratchcard when I was paying one time but the lady at the counter couldn’t sell them without a supervisor present, even though she was older than me. I really couldn’t be bothered with the wait, especially with a queue behind me.
Reverse psychology …
Do they have a small person serving today and they can’t reach the top? What makes them unavailable?
The chances of winning ‘something’ on scratchcards is fairly high if anything. The note should have been more specific – e.g. ‘no chance of winning the top prize’ or something.
I might be weird as hell but I wouldn’t buy scratch cards from a shop like that anyway, has to be a normal shop like coop or a supermarket, not a discount shop or somewhere. Insane I know.
Nsfw? Mate you good?
Not the reality check I wanted today.
Truth in advertising!
I used to work at Morrisons, and the amount of money I’d see people spend on scratch cards was ridiculous. This one guy would buy £80 worth every week.
That got a laugh from the family.
That’s what they say about lottery, and look at that 0.00000001% that won…
Fair play
Good on them. I used to work in a co-op, and the amount of people I saw buying scratch cards was sad. The lack of winners I saw was much worse.
Watching jobless gambling addicts waste their last £50 in 15 minutes regularly was something else though. Their naivety and desperation for hope was truly sad to watch.
F*ck scratch cards.
Worked with somebody that won a car with a scratch card, complete impulse buy, VW Golf for a quid.
Lol
B&M staff rank amongst the most based retail workers in the UK.
No idea why that is, and this is very specific to my family, but I have a severely mentally disabled daughter (she’s 7 with the mental age of a 1 year old), and even though I only visit the 3 B&Ms within 30 mins of my house like once a month, the staff are always really nice.
I went to our nearest one for the first time in weeks and when we got to the busy check outs one of the staff opened a new till and pulled us out of line (even though we were at the back of the que) and ushered us through. The staff member even said “Oh look its our favourite customer!”
I am an old skool hairy gorilla man but shit like that hits me in places other things don’t touch.
I won £50 on one once and when I took it to be cashed in, the worker called her collegues over as she’d never seen one win that much. This was a big Tesco so they must see a lot.
Never bought another after that, totally not worth it.

Or they know something we don’t…
I’m surprised they even sell them.
