Things that annoy you in supermarkets

Women who pay for their groceries then stand at the till for 10 minutes re-organising their handbag item by item.
Also those (men and women) who decide to re-organise the way they've packed the carrier bags at the till. A huge queue stands and waits whilst they decide what bag they really want the item in.
Finally the "too posh to pack" who stand well back looking in their compact or chatting on their phone whilst their shopping stacks up and the cashier tries to attract another staff member to pack it.
Oh and a mention to M&S in Pond St, Hampstead, London's slowest shop. You are a food shop, you are next to a large hospital yet service is so slow the medical staff trying to grab a sandwich must regularly have to perform CPR on patients who've died in your queues.

Not true. Its just easier to prove their intent once they have left the store with an item.

Love that quote very true still counts to me as theft but in the eyes of the law you have to have proof- try proving that one

People who think their shopping is free, so don't get their purse/card out until they've finished packing everything, then take ages finding it.

My pet hate is children standing in trolleys & staff who don't tell them to get out! I do not want to put my food in a trolley that has got dirt (or worse) in it.
People (usually men) who shop in vests, cover up please.
Yes it's nice to bump into someone you haven't seen for a while but please don't have a 2 hour reunion in the middle of the aisle.
People who park right on the white line of the parking bay next to me so that you can hardly open the door.
People who use the diasbled bays & wait in the car while the abled bodied person goes & does the shopping

Theses are just a few, will probably think of a few more in a mo

Staff who ask, 'Do you need a bag for that?' Of course I flipping well do! Sanctimonious greenatics! The bags are all biodegradable anyway.

People who look surprised when they've packed their shopping bags to discover they have to pay and then search for their purse then, finding they haven't enough money in the purse search for their other purse, and then . . . .


Toddlers (or their parents who let them) who lie across the supermarket floor so you run them down with your trolley whilst looking at the shelves instead of the floor.


People who stand and talk with their trollies across the aisle blocking the shelves and the route through.


People who block a section by picking up every packet of identical meat and scrutinising it whilst there is a bunch of customers trying to get to that section happy just to grab a packet and go.


Basically just hate supermarket shopping!!!

Also I find it strange that old people who go shopping (husband and wife) have a trolley each. Why?!!

My parents take a trolley each as it saves time: they each get half of the shopping and meet at the till. That way they're not walking round together getting in other people's way and they're not in there as long getting in other people's way. Mum can't drive so dad has to go with her, and no, they don't go on a Saturday, they go either Thursday or Friday morning.
