Sainsburys not updating the reduced stickers in the bashed up section. At the moment, 600g boxes of Cheerios are £1.75. The boxes were reduced when they were full price. Charging 50p more.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

I think self service checkouts should now be the new 10 items or less tills.
Not sure if this has been said or not as only managed to get to page 5 today but in the asdas local to me they have 2 types of self service, those with belts and significantly more room - intended for those with trollies and then the regular self service check outs for those with baskets.
As for my own annoyances...I have many. Not putting trolleys back and leaving them abandoned in the car park, putting trolleys back to the trolley bays but not pushing it into the other trolleys that are there (so you end up with 5 single trolleys instead of 1 row of 5 if you know what I mean), letting their kids run riot then giving you dirty looks if said kid/kids run into you, stopping abruptly when walking in front of you so you walk right in to the back of them (personally I look behind me and if there are people there I will step out of the way to let them past), the lazy gits who would rather park inconsiderately than - shock horror - walk an extra 20ft (although this behaviour isnt limited to supermarkets) and the list goes on.You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means - Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride0 -
Tesco in Orpington allow companies to set up stalls ( probably charging them a stiff fee) to advertise their services in the entrance to the shop, the stalls are in the way, and the people manning them are increasingly aggressive , shouting at Tesco customers and deliberately blocking their path. Its very annoying.0

The shopper who wandered round the store with a tub of Ben & Jerry's Phish Food ice cream - then must have dumped it back in the freezer.......because I bought it! Had clearly defrosted then re-froze, all the 'fish' had sunk to the bottom and the marshmallow was no longer evident. Good old B&J customer service sending me some vouchers.
Staff on the tills who likes to demonstrate how fast they are at scanning - regardless of whether I can keep up with the packing. The faster they try to go the more I slow down!Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.0
