Person At Top Of Shop Queue Taken Completely By Surprise By Request To Pay For Goods

A MAN AT the top of a lengthy shopping queue has been taken by surprise at a request for payment, WWN can exclusively reveal.

Initially local man Tom Shannon struggled to comprehend the words, straining and asking the supermarket retail assistant to repeat what they said before engaging in what looked like the long forgotten elaborate tribal dance of his people, patting down every pocket his clothing had several times.

“Just a sec,” said Shannon, who despite seeing the four people in front of him go through the same routine to pay for his shopping, was as ill-prepared for a request for payment as a monkey would be if asked to perform open heart surgery.

“What’s this prick at,” confirmed the eleven people behind Shannon in queue in unison.

Wasting the sort of time George RR Martin could’ve finished writing his Game of Thrones series in, Shannon fumbled, rummaged and pulled at his jacket and jean pockets before producing his phone which he intended on paying with.

“There we are now,” said Shannon before failing to open his phone using face-ID technology, forcing him to resort to incorrectly inputting his phone pin which led him to revert to using his debit card.

Doing so with the sort of nonchalance that brings out a unique and potent level of animosity in fellow shoppers, Shannon then repeatedly tapped a coffee loyalty card on the card machine.

“You should have given me a heads up you were finished scanning my shopping,” Shannon now barked at the retail assistant, cementing his reputation as a one-of-a-kind dickhead in the process.
