I am in a slight state of shock after my experience at tesco buying a pregnancy test this evening.
It was in one of those security boxes but I went to a self checkout as I thought this would be more discreet. BIG MISTAKE. I know it's silly to be embarrassed but I was a little!
Anyway I scan the test and put it down. A member of staff who was about 18 year old male came over and I handed him the test hoping he would just take it and get the packaging off and hand it back discreetly. His first comments were that he struggles getting the security boxes off so he shouted to his collegue "can you get this box off of the pregnancy tests?". I was mortified.
Anyway another staff member took it off and the original staff member brought it back to me then shouts good luck! Whether that means it's positive or negative! Meanwhile I just continue scanning my shopping. He then comes over and asks "so do you want it to be positive?" I had no idea what to say, is that not totally inappropriate? I couldn't believe it. I just said "yes". He then said that I look too young and asked what age was i? I honestly wanted the ground to swallow me up and just said 24. I then started to walk away and he shouted good luck, that's a good age!!
What the f***?! Lol I didn't know whether to laugh or cry!
