Haven't Done This For A While, There Must Be Lots Of New Things Now.

What gets your blood boiling in the supermarket?
I have many, so I'll chip in as we go!

[Old_Geezer]

Not so. You moaned at trolleys at the self service, I moaned at them at the basket only till.

[Baldric]

Yep, we normally do a double act Sibs, saves a lot of time, I pack, OH pays and we're away.

[ToraToraTora]

the basket only tills are self service.

[Togo]

You jammy devil baldric.'She who must be obeyed' packs and I pay. I've a lot to learn.

[legal girl]

Checkout assistants who talk to colleagues while serving you, thus completely ignoring you, they thrown things through the till and when you ask them to slow down so you can pack they get all humphy!

[Psybbo]

No, there is one manned till for baskets only with 10 or less items

[Old_Geezer]

Not the ones I go to. Wouldn't touch self service, I deserve more respect and service from the seller than that, as the customer.

[Old_Geezer]

"one manned till for baskets only with 10 or less items"
Thus my previous comment about toe rag managers.

People who slummock over the trolley, bottom sticking out as if they don't have the strength to stand up properly.

Having just come back from Tesco, a couple waiting by the enterance for a taxi (Out of the heavy down poor) understandable. They pushed the trolley up to the automatic doors took out their shopping and left in the Taxi leaving it there for the some poor sod to shift it! Muggin's here was waiting next had to shift it. Lazy barristers!

hc is so right. Who are the gits who pick something up from the chillers then abandon it somewhere else in the store after presumably changing their tiny minds?

[paul1763]

screaming kids, parents who let their kids run about and those who insist on packing their bags at the checkout rather than reloading their trolley and packing else where

[gingejbee]

Nothing....it's an oasis of calm. I use my self-scanner as I go round, finish my shop and relax with my free coffee and read my free newspaper at the "grazing area".
Waitrose, naturally!

[Psybbo]

Been in Waitrose, got my coffee, went outside, well I would if I hadn't crashed into the glass door, coffee everywhere but the staff looked after me really. Next time we went, well marked glass door!

[ToraToraTora]

tush ginger, rich people eh?

I'd like to know were they get that zombie gas they use, it seems to turn normal people into barely sentient zombies shuffling down isles getting in my way! I'm immune to it!

"unexpected item in the bagging area"

[pixie374]

Awww psybbs xx my friend and I waited at an automatic glass door for quite some time, before we realised we were standing at a window and the door was further down. Even a toddler laughed at us... :-)

[Tilly2]

I get really annoyed when people take the little cocktail stick freebies, eat what's on offer and put the cocktail stick back on the same plate. Urghhhh!

[Psybbo]

Hi Pixie, know how you feel, it was all glass and they must have a brilliant window cleaner! X

"Self checkout" ie 'The System That Doesn't Work'.

It's 2am on a Saturday morning and I fancy a bottle of Cab Sauv.
MASSIVE 24 hour ASDA - one person on one of about 100 tills, fair enough, it's late, the staff are knackered and there are probably about 50 Asian corner shop owners and their kids dotted about the place ...and me with my bottle of wine...

Beep "Approval needed" ..scans around, no one there, takes a seat on the nearest flat surface to await attention "Unexpected item in the bagging area"
YES ...ME, getting bored and impatient!!!
