A frustrating incident!

I walked into a shop, intending to buy something sweet as I felt quite flat and a needed an energy boost. It is hard using one's feet to get around the city! There is a lot of walking done during the day, when you think about it. A five minute walk from your home to the nearest bus or metro station, then a five minute walk from where you get off the bus or train, to where you are going. That is assuming you are only going to one place. What about if you are catching several trains or buses during the day and have to go to many places? It can be exhausting. So, with all the walking I had done that day I felt like a sugary sweet. I entered the nearest shop, a DIA mini - supermarket, and proceeded down the aisle, looking for the sweet and confectionery shelf. The shop was not busy and it appeared that there was only one member of staff on duty at the time. It is a tiny shop and staff probably have to multi-task I suppose. As I entered, I noticed nobody working at the checkouts. The only staff member in the shop was a Latino woman who was packing goods onto a shelf. She saw me and bellowed over to me in Spanish. I could not understand what she said as I my limited knowledge of Spanish would not enable me to comprehend the bellowing. I took no notice of her and chose some sugar-coated strawberry sweets which were going to give me an energy boost. All of a sudden I felt a tugging on my back. The woman who had bellowed at me was now pulling at my back pack. She was muttering something in Spanish so I opened my bag to let her see inside it. By now I was already aggravated with her. I began to walk towards the checkout, with this woman still going off at me. Now she was motioning for me to take my back pack off and leave it at the parcel counter near the front door. Was she serious? I was about to pay and leave, so it made no sense to leave my bag at the front of the shop. Yes, she was. I was completely irritated so I put the item down and left the shop with nothing to raise my energy levels. My blood pressure was up though!!

Beloved DIA !!!
