Dirty, overpriced and unpleasant

Although overpriced and poorly-stocked, My partner and I were at first happy to use this store as a matter of convenience as it is close to our home and is open until 9pm, which is a relatively novel concept in Bath. However, the owner is an unsavoury individual who is widely believed by the local community to have an alcohol problem. I'm certainly not at liberty to confirm or deny this, but I will say that his erractic behaviour certainly meant that going into the store was often a deeply unpleasant experience. My partner and I were happy to put up with this for a while. However, one Sunday morning, I went in to buy a bottle of milk only to be met with a surly, drunk shopkeeper who, under the considerable duress of absolutely no provocation whatsoever, crudely chastised me for spending so much money in his store, and curtly told me to '**** off'. Deciding that discretion was the better part of valour, I did exactly that. I'm not saying that I expect service with a smile, but if I'm going to spend �£2.15 on a couple of pints of milk, I want at least a pat on the back for my brave attempt at single-handedly rejuvenating the British economy; not to be snarled at for having the temerity to walk into the store with a pocket full of change. I did attempt to smooth things over a few days later by explaining the situation to his fellow shopkeeper-in-arms (who I presume is his wife, and if this is true, I feel profoundly sad for her), but this all seemed to be par for the course in her sad, empty eyes. She did have the grace to confirm that he was drunk, which was vindicating, at least. If you have a deeply-ingrained fear of the giant Morrisons situated at the bottom of the hill and just a little bit more money than sense (hey, we've all been there. That's how swimming pools are born) then I suppose there is a time and place for the Fairfield Stores, but owing to the poisonous atmosphere, I would strongly advise against allowing children to enter the store unsupervised.
