A lot of you are complaining about children Some people have no choice but to bring their children grocery shopping - it's not their fault.

I'm originally from Australia and in my area where I grew up pretty much all the shopping centres had creches where you could drop your kid off for an hour or so while you did your shopping. Why don't they introduce something like that over here in the UK?

i dotn have a problem with the children but more how the parent acts, eg when the kid starts running around the parent should seat him in the trolley seat or use one of them wrist band things that the child and parent get hold of each end so the child cant walk off,

what i still havent wored out is who lets they're kids(well teenagers do it as well) walk barefoot in the shop, there could be glass on the floor yet tehy would walk on it

I've had a kid walk in on me in a changing room while his mother tries on clothes. No one was outside looking after him, he was just left to his own devices. I get that sometimes kids are just after the attention, but surely there's a line? You can't just ignore your child as if nothing is happening.

Ugh that happened to me in Primark once. A child, about 4 came right into my changing room and I was in such a mood that day so I yelled out 'CONTROL...YOUR CHILD'. The mother didn't say a word and quicky got the kid out of my way.

In response to the last thing you said...My DD is 9 months old and going through a mental screaming/screeching phase - for no reason at all. No matter what I do I can't stop her from doing it, so I just let her do it and ignore it. People probably tut at me but I don't care. I can do sod all about it. However it is different if it's say, a five year old running a muck in the store and their parent is doing nothing about it. I would never let my child behave like that in a public place.

I'm sure there was an Asda near my parents that did this. In fact, loads of places have/had creches, but I don't see them around as much now.

EVERYWHERE when i was younger (90's) had creches/ play areas (shoe shops, carpet shops) i remember forever being in ball pits, large shooted play areas e.c.t nowhere seems to have them anymore.

Asda nearest to me installed one after i was too old for them (proper soft play jungle gym that was supervised) but it was only there a few years before it was removed.


I work in a shop and i'm not even gonna start! id be here all night.
But yes, as a customer i can't stand it when people are right behind me. I try to take a step back or 'fall' back to give them the hint.

I won't use my loca ASDA because you often get a group of about 3-4 adults with up to 10 kids. The kids run around and scream!!! Why can't one adult stand outside with the kids and then swap over. Also I have had a few "near misses" with children running into my trolley or basket. Parents please note a supermarket is NOT a PLAYGROUND!!!!!!!
OK rant over.

yes its not a playground also refers to the children and the parents as well,

i also hate other drivers who seem to go about it the long way when trying to park, instead of trying to cross traffic to park why not carry straight onand park down there

People who take a trolley full to shelf checkout. And then have to call an assistant over constantly when they have to take the full bag off the scales.

Nowt worse than going shopping, and being stuck behind a large person (usually male) with his jeans/pants half way down his backside, so you are staring at an unattractive bike rack.

Or, being stuck behind someone who hasnt had the common sense to have a shower at least once this decade

Heh heh heh - i love doing this to people who do that.. Properly saying it loud as well so everyone can hear and they go bright red because they never imagine people will speak up.

although.... one time in my local morrisons there was a queue of about 6 people waiting for the set of 4 self serve, whilst the other 4 didnt have a queue and were all empty (bar 1)! i waited in line a bit, mostly fromt hat polite british reserve and shyness i suffer from... until i got p****d off with waiting for no reason and tried to tell the *mature* people in front of me. i got ignored until i had the 'cheek' to go ahead to the empty tills when the man in front of me started effing and blinding at me! shut up pretty quick when i pointed out the empty tills and the fact i was now third in line anyway... still didn't stop me going bright red though!
