Day Eighteen : Confusion and Embarrassment...

Date : Saturday 18th January 2014

Time : 14.31

Location : Hockley, Birmingham

Tesco Travelator
Tesco Travelator 

Today, Tesco threw me a curveball. Typically, in my day-to-day life, when its something I know, I'm pretty much on auto pilot. I just do things without really thinking. 

The problem I faced today, was when I popped into Tesco to get something for dinner tonight. Typically, the Gladiator's style travelator goes up on the right, and down on the left (as you look at it, standing from the bottom - this is getting confusing!!) 

But today - Tesco had moved the goalposts. Switching the travelator's direction. Were they testing me? If so, I failed. 

Without really looking, I went to step on the downwards travelator to go up. The only thing that saved me was the handrail moving in the wrong direction! It could have ended a lot more embarrassingly. 

Why would you do that to me Tesco? After all we go through, all the money I spend in you. Not impressed. 

Lesson of the day - I suppose, don't rest on your laurels, and stay alert at all times

Damn you Tesco's!!
