Perhaps they own a restaurant.i have known this quite a lot.

I'm inclined to agree - I see a lot of people in Lidl buying masses of rice, milk and yogurts. Not even a family could eat as many as they buy!

This should be treated in the same way as regular shoplifting.

I'll add another. The way supermarkets move an entire aisle to elsewhere in the shop. If I visit the supermarket regularly then I know where stuff is and don't appreciate having to search for it. Someone told me its to force you around more of the store and therefore encourage impulse purchases but it has the opposite effect on me.

When my local Asda moves stuff around, it's usually a good couple of weeks before they move the overhead signs saying where the item is.

I hate it when staff have vents about their shifts/holidays/colleagues in front of customers.

Use of subliminal Music that is calibrated at below consciousness level which I have to cut off with the superior pleasure of reading on my Kindle app on my Ipad also used as a Calculator.
Parents letting kids using premises like a Playground then being hostile when you point out it’s unsafe.
Those awful Self Service Tills: I got persuaded by a trusted member of staff to use them. I used them but due to their unreliability, producing two readings instead of one,( your card accepted or not) I have given up and now only use Staffed tills.
Supermarkets that tell you you have save n amount usually derisory because they don’t want us shoppers coming to our own collective conclusions.
The shoddy cafes don’t help the likes of Mr T.
Being forced to watch Tesco ads on the ATM’s I have to think of a way to counter as I don’t want Tesco insurance or your latest thing and Tesco has reputation for exploiting it’s customers.
The use of Ad screens at the entrance so you have to avert eyes. I just focus on other things.#superiorpleasures
Dubious variable pricing with time limited offers so it’s to help you then.Every little helps exploit the customer.
Supermarkets changing loved foods to make profits so wonderful items and their quality are denied meaning one is on the prowl for next best thing.
Patronising Charity Stalls esp for disablity charities they don’t understand just how patronizing it is.
Your bloody loyalty card being asked for I can’t repeat the no of times I have pointed out that it is for Supermarkets benefit not yours any so-called savings get funnelled back into Supermarket profits and they are timed to maximally exploit you.

What annoys me?
People who walk off with their shopping in a trolley and dump it on street corners afterwards. If anyone else tried to walk off with a hundred quids worth of goods from the shop you would be in court !

People that get all antsy when you start putting your shopping on the conveyor belt after theirs but there isn't a separator available. What do they think is going to happen!? That they will be forced to pay for my shopping too!?

On a similar note I work in a pub and occasionally go round the place glass collecting. Some people grab their full pint glass every single time they see me do it. I'm clearly only picking up empty glasses or pints that have been left at a table that's been unattended for a long time. I have no interest in stealing your pint off you!

Why do they dump their shopping on street corners? Are they handing out stuff to the homeless?

When people stand right next to you at the checkout invading your personal space when you are putting your PIN into the machine and trying to pack up the last items at the same time. They then barge to the bottom of the checkout as if to say hurry up!! RUDE so RUDE!

Music which usually features a screeching woman or wet nelly male with auto tune. Remember when you could shop and think in peace ? I hate it with a passion. We have to have music piped everywhere now.

Other people who invade your space when you are either paying or browsing.

Why do people pick up stuff and then decide half way round the store that they do not want it and just dump it on the nearest shelf.


Too many disabled and family parking places near the door. Encourages misuse.

Scooters are for outside, not inside supermarkets.

Teach kids to walk when inside and to show consideration to others.

Grrrr.
