MORE AUTOPARTS DRAMA

In the past week I went to Autoparts in Stornoway again for a car part. Even though I'm barred from the shop I've still been going in for stuff - without a mask - and the staff have been serving me even though most of them witnessed the first drama. After picking up the part, I was driving out of the car park when the manager came out of the shop and asked: 'Are you Derick?' I said, 'yes.' He then told me I wasn't welcome, along with other rude commentary, which immediately built up to a mad crescendo of quite insane rage - all by himself. I told him he was crazy (words to that effect), in reply to which he yelled: 'why don't you go and write another script about me?' gesticulating wildly (ah, permission). He then stormed back into the shop with my laughter ringing in his ears (I couldn't help it - it was funny).

That's twice now that this angry, crazy man has accosted me for no reason. In the first place banning me from the shop just for telling him (very politely) that the subject I and another chap were disagreeing about wasn't his business after he demanded I tell him what we were talking about. 

Being all personal about his work - very un-professional. Surely a bad advert for the shop. Especially as I have every intention of buying an expensive item from the shop. And not for the first time. 

He needs to get a grip.
