That time the power went off.
Store I worked in suffered a power cut, store was evacuated and we were ushering everyone out. I was holding open the exit door as they weren't working and a couple of lads were blocking the entrance door.
This fella came marching towards the door, out of which are pouring customers and staff, the inside of the shop in total darkness etc.
"Excuse me" I says "The powers off, we're closing the store until it comes back on, sorry".
"I only need the lottery" he claims, trying to push past everyone.
"The power is off Sir".
"Yeah but I want the lottery." says he, now getting cross cos he can't get past everyone coming out.
"The power is off, we have no lights, the tills aren't working, everyone is outside... The power. Is. Off."
"Fuck sake, what kind of service is this?!... I'll just go to the fucking petrol station then!"...

His face when I pointed out that they had a power cut too was just a picture. By this stage there were people laughing at him and he got a round of applause as he walked off.
