Forest Hill Road Co-Op in Bright and Friendly New Staff Member Shock!

[*Bob*]

He's new. He wears spectacles. He smiles. He speaks. Hurrah!

My current bus route means I have long not needed to use this place - but that is due to change early 08 so will be back here picking up my milk/beers etc

The subtext of *Bob*'s message of course is just how rubbish this place is/was. The memories of my days using this place still haunt me so I hope this guy sticks around.

There are two nice young women in there, who are efficient and fairly chatty and up. Nero

I'm not sure if 'Efficient' and 'Forest Hill Road Co-Op' ought to be in the same sentence.

I popped in there this evening and was served by said new staff member. I told him about this thread and after explaining what an internet forum was, he blushed and said he'd try to look it up.

Q. Why did all the other people in the queue look at me like I was mad for complimenting someone in public?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Good for you. We are so quick to condemn and reluctant to praise.

It is really nice in there. I have been in about 4 times and he recognises me and says hello. It's nice to have that community feel.
