Fragile Do Not Bend Feb 2022 8:13pm, 11 Feb 2022 9,248 posts	Quote Pin Fragile Do Not Bend I have my own route around the local supermarket, mostly because I have a preferred way to pack my bags (I scan and bag as I go). For instance the 6 packs of yogurts are quite big so need to go at the bottom of a bag so that’s one of the first things I pick up, but the yogurt aisle is in the middle of the shop…

Even more so, cretins who add their trolley to a line which is already sticking out and causing an obstruction. There's always a shorter line, in my head experience, or even an empty one which is being blocked by sideways drifting of the over long line(s).

Sigh Feb 2022 6:50pm, 13 Feb 2022 11,527 posts	Quote Pin Sigh My supermarket annoyance today (about 3pm in Tesco at Hanley): the person in front of me had three items, but rather than pay for them at a 'quick service' till, she queued to be served by a real person but held her items until it was time to pay for them, and stood at the far end of the conveyor belt until it was her turn so no-one else could start unloading their trolleys. Once she went through, we unloaded as fast as we could, and the queue which was snaking back up an adjacent aisle into the store began to clear.

The door is firmly shut and a red disc showing to indicate the facility is engaged. Why do some people have to try the handle anyway, sometimes twice? Just fuck off! (You can tell how much this winds me up.)
