If BOGOF items are counted as one or two items depends on your position in the queue.:p

How many of you spend your waiting time in the express queue surreptitiously counting the other customers' items?
I will put my hand up first.:rolleyes:

Guilty ! :rolleyes:

As well as trying to analyse how good/bad/indifferent their diet must be...

Heard a story the other day about a woman who took three baskets to the 'one basket only' till, and used the 'next customer' thingies between each basket load.

At Christmas saw someone "plant" their kid with a basket in an ordinary non-express, but v.long, queue...while he went and filled his trolley. When he'd finished kid was nearly ready to be served and Dada joined him and in doing so jumped the queue of trolleys. He got a load of dirty looks but nobody actually said anything to him!

Oh and as for looking in people's baskets that is really good fun...you can tell so much about a person, eg if single or not (useful if it's a hunky man), if they enjoy cooking, if they have pets...and I've started trying to figure out if people are MSE bods. Not that I am nosey or anything like that....

This happened me once .. I noticed the lady in front had put her trolley in the queue and was running around the shop. When it came to her turn she was half-way round the store so I started emptying my stuff onto the conveyor. The checkout girl had just started ringing mine through when the lady returned and in a very loud snobby voice complained about me jumping the queue and that she had been next ... I just told her, in an equally loud and snobby voice that I had asked her basket if I could go ahead and it insisted I did so.

She just tutted and then proceeded to start running around the shiop again to get more stuff.

And sometimes its very hard not to tell the till operators to **** off at times isn't it? After all if we didn't shop there then they wouldn't have a job!!! :rotfl:
