A taste of 'touche'

I had a bit of an argument with a customer today about the weather. I’m so sick of hearing how we’re about to descend into an ice age and get mercilessly battered by a deadly Russian wind. So when she started commenting on wanting to buy some storm shutters I snapped. I said “Look - this is Suffolk, not Siberia. It’s not going to snow enough to kill us all. Stop believing the scaremongering you get forcefed on social media and stop reading shitty British newspapers.” 
She said “Ok. I will. As soon as you stop plastering them all over the forecourt and ramming the front covers down our throats every time we come to the till.” 
I looked around me at the various newspaper stands we have, and the piles of local publications on the counter, and the advertisements for them all on the billboards outside, and promptly shut my mouth.
