Scaaaary!

I went into Tesco Metro this morning to get some shopping and I needed a green pepper because I have a recipe for aduki bean burgers that I want to try out this weekend and the recipe calls for a green pepper. They only had red peppers loose and the alternative was a pack of three peppers. They had several large trays of these stacked on the floor and the top two trays had only red and yellow peppers in them and the sell by date was for tomorrow. There was one green pepper in one of the bags but it was too pathetic and small for me, besides, I knew I wouldn't be using the two red peppers until Monday.
Looking through the gaps to the trays below I could see there were green peppers in most of the bags underneath but the trays were too heavy for me to lift to get to them. It's always the way when you need help, there's never anyone around so I thought I would get the rest of the shopping and then find someone who could lift the trays up for me.
Eventually I tracked down a young man who had just wheeled in a trolley to fill up the carrots so I politely asked him if he would move the trays because I wanted a green pepper. He pointed out that there was a green pepper in the top tray. I told him that it was too small and besides I wouldn't be using the red peppers until next week and as the sell by date was tomorrow I would really like one of the bags below. He stood there quietly looking at me and trying to stare me down but I gave him 'the look'. He soon changed his mind and swiftly moved the top trays so I could get my green pepper!
(If you want to know what 'the look' is, it's one I use when people don't want to co-operate so I instantly shrink them down to a half inch high and give them shivers down their spines and they soon do as requested!).
