Cheap Tat
OneEyedMonster remindes us about the crap you can buy in pound shops: "Batteries that lasted about an hour and then died. A screwdriver with a loose handle so I couldn't turn the damn screw, and a tape measure which wasn't at all accurate."
Similarly, my neighbour bought a lawnmower from Argos that was so cheap the wheels didn't go round, it sort of skidded over the grass whilst gently back-combing it.
What's the cheapest, most useless crap you've bought?

Poundland
I too know how rude the keepers of the cheap goodies can be. They also aren't the brightest bunch. Here's a great example.
I hand over some party poppers to pay for them.
Poundland Lady: What age are you?
Me: 17. What age do you have to be to buy them?
PL: I dunno.
I had to run out of the shop in order not to laugh in her face.
