Mine
That was probably after I went on an induction day after joining B&Q about two years ago. Journey there by train was alright. Got to the station and got a taxi to the store.

Taxi driver gave me his mobile number and said if I needed a taxi back afterwards to phone him. Really nice guy...very chatty.

Anyway...here comes the bad bit.

I completely forgot that he'd given me his number afterwards and looked up taxi's in the yellow pages that they had in the store.

I only found numbers for firms that said they wouldn't travel as far as I needed to go. I ended up walking back to the station. I then bought a first class ticket from the machine by mistake...doh...then sat in the second class part of the train without realizing it...even bigger doh.

Got reimbursed by the store I worked at when I started the next day though. Bastards sacked me for what they said was inapropriate use of my discount card in april though. I was cleared by an employment tribunal though and B&Q agreed to provide me with a reference and pay me the equivalent of one months wages - £800...ker-ching:-D

Tried going back in there to buy something a few months ago. Security guard told me that anyone that is dismissed is banned from all stores for life. As far as i'm aware that's unenforcable now though as I was cleared. Still don't go in there though. Managers a complete and utter cock.


I think i'll stop here...i'm rambling now.
