Some People are so Rude

Today as part of my dad's birthday celebration we went bowling (amazing fun, we both won a game each :) ). However the downfall of the day was the young gentleman at the bit where you exchange your shoes for those amazing bowling shoes that slip too easy on the carpet and feel very unlike real shoes. This young man was the essence of rudeness. He didn't look at us when he spoke to us and he straight out patronised my dad, who I don't think noticed, or if he did he didn't care. But I did. No one talks like that to my dad. It literally made me feel sick. How dare he speak to us like that? We were paying customers and he was plain arrogant. I soon realised, however, it wasn't just rudeness to us. A young lady approached him to ask about how to work the keyboard to type in their names. He was so sarcastic and patronising to her I could have kicked him. People like that don't deserve to be payed. I totally understand Mary Portas plight for better customer service. I should tell her she needs to go to Sheffield Hollywood Bowl and sort that guy out.

On a lighter note we had a wonderful day of Pizza hut and Yorkshire Sculpture Park, even if the wind was crazy, but the windswept look is in, right?
