Date: 04/07/2025 time 0815 Not entirely sure what the cashier’s problem was but she seemed to be so irritated by the fact that I was standing by the fragrance cabinet. I was just standing and waiting for someone to come unlock the fragrance cabinet and/or I was quite happy to wait until she had finished serving the line. I didn’t even say a word to her.
