Names have been changed to protect the innocent.

I was in my fave store yesterday buying a rather nice tshirt. Standing at the counter, waiting to pay I and the lady next to me, heard a loud voice coming from our right. You know how it is, you all pretend that you can't hear the commotion but this guy was something else.
"I'm the nation wide manager for Pigs Bottom Clothing, you don't speak to me like that!!!"
We have no idea what "she" said but each time she tried to speak he said
"don't talk" and then for good measure he repeated it in what I think was supposed to be Xhosa. What would I know, I'm not a nationwide manager.
"I want to talk to Betty Bulemia" "Now! I know she's in the store tell her I'm here"
"Don't talk"
and so it went on, stupid man, he's probably had the job since 02 Jan 2011.
My young assistant took my card and said
"cheque or savings?"
"savings" I replied,
she swiped the card and said
"cheque or savings?" to which I replied
"you have to multitask, listen to him with your left ear and listen to me with your right"
That was when the lady standing next to me snorted in amusement.
I could complain to big mouth's boss but lets face it, he won't be working for Pig's Bum for much longer with that attitude. He reminded me of the tea advert where the man in a suit says to the airline lady
"Do you know who I am?" so she broadcasts an appeal "Does anyone one know this lost man?"
What an ass.

Love it. Is there really something called 'Pigs Bottom'?
If there is well then I am totally out of the loop.
