That's a compromise you must make when shopping at the paupers' supermarkets.

Being an MSE'r I hunt bargains wherever I can... so 18 bog rolls for four squid is just the ticket...!

Then live with the queues and quit whining.

The last queue I was in, the guy in front of me was asking the checkout girl out on a date.

She was about 17 and he must've been well over 65!

And reluctant to take no for an answer...!

My biggest gripe... grabbing a few items in Lidl, Aldi, Farmfoods etc... only one or two tills open... no "10 items or less" or "baskets only" till.... having to stand behind 3 or 4 people with trolleys so full you'd swear they were playing 'crispy pancake bucaroo'...

I only need bog roll and milk...!

In fairness though, some kind people see you've only got a couple of items and let you go through... but some just look, see you've got one or two things and then start unloading their trolleys...! I hope your next poo is a startled hedgehog...!

Thats how Aldi, Lidl etc have been for years, its worked for that long why change it, if you want the bog roll at the price it is then you have to put up with waiting.

Most checkout assistants are now forced to chat with customers with mystery shopper checks to ensure they are talking to them, the days of actually watching productivity (how many items are scanned and how quickly) are long gone.

Yes, but there's a big difference between being friendly and welcoming for 10 seconds and "rabbiting".
