I do not see what the problem is with people in the wrong queue is. When I shop at Tesco (Once every three months when they send me a voucher and extra points because I seem to have not done so for a while), I love to get behind the numpties trolley. You know the one that is stacked to the gunnels with crisps, ready meals and other muppet food stuffs, and the usual token onion. If I time it right, I just have to slip in a couple of extra dim wit items it a trolley as I go around the store. An extra ready meal here ups their bill. It is even better if I get behind them at the checkout as well (Timing has to be important here, me with my cat food and lemonade, them with a trolley full of muppet food.

Strange how they never seem to put back the extra ready meals that take there bill up by another tenner. Me, the cat gets his three months suppy of Go Cat, me a nice glass of lemonade.

If I understand you right, you enjoy going around the supermarket putting items into other people's trolleys?

Nope, never worked as a check-out chick, but I'd probably enjoy analysing all the customers by what they buy:D - I have a rather vivid imagination when I'm not using much brain power.

I haven't worked a checkout since I was a student, but that was a fun game to pass the time. The funniest time used to be Friday or Saturday evening. From 6-9pm we used to get a steady stream of blokes buying a bunch of flowers and a packet of Durex. It never took much imagination to work out where they were off to.

Valentine's Day was another odd time to be on a checkout. Just hundreds of blokes picking up a cheap bunch of flowers and boxes of chocolates.

Does anyone remember scan and go by safeway where you took your scanner round the shop with you and paid for it at the end, used to do that alot was good for budgeting and no hoping you had enough money at the till. They lost too much money this way though and people not scanning all their shopping.

I got sent away from the "baskets" checkout once, because I had a trolley. I had an 18-month old and a brand new baby in the trolley. And ONE item. But the SA just didn't get it. :rolleyes:

Similar thing happened to me in Tesco once, all I had in the trolley was a turkey, which wouldn't fit in a basket, the woman on the till threatened to get the manager if I didn't go to a normal till, but in the end let me through because I was getting mad :mad:
