are women stooopid or what?

[logic]

Alright alright, I know i'm not the most patient person in the morning, BUT I've just been to asda, all i wanted was my prescription as they have an offer on of three cases for 20 quid, so there I'm stood at the checkout in the middle of a qeue of about eight people, with this woman at the front with about a hundred quids worth of goods in her trolley, and she's entered the wrong pin number for her asda card three times, so now it's locked her out altogether, and she's trying to find cash in her purse which she knows she hasn't got, so were all stood there like chocolate bobies while we wait for a supervisor, would you have got irate in a situation like that, C'mon be honest.

[squarebear]

Yes I certainly would. It's as bad as when I pop in to Tesco on my half hour lunch break to find some old dear telling the cashier all about her holiday, her grandson, what time Countdown is on and so on.

These people have all day to witter about. I only get half an hour. Show some consideration please.

I have the patience of a saint.






When I'm asleep.

I take it you are a man? Any woman with only 3 items would have gone to either the express till (less than 10 items) or the self service till.

[redcrx]

yes Id have got annoyed but the sort of thing thats limited to women lol

Another one is when you rush in to shop on way home from work and the supermarket staff who are leaving off get in queue and just chat whilst their shopping goes through (slowly) then have a good old gossip whilst getting their discount card (slowly) and then pay (slowly).

[whiffey]

Women in queues. Wait until the checkout girl reads out the total, then peer at the till, presumably on the suspicion that she might have got it wrong. Now, where's my bag, ah there it is, now, where's my purse, ah of course, it's right at the bottom of the bag ! Now where are my CREDIT CARDS, ah yes, in the purse, so I'd better open it hadn't I, but not in too much of a hurry. Which one shall I use - this one ? No that's your Nectar card dear, try the pretty blue Mastercard. Which way does it go into the machine, well clearly not the 5 different ways I've tried so far ! Silly me. etc etc etc etc

CASH !! CASH !! CASH !!

Having worked serving customers in the past I can tell you that men and women are equally stupid when it comes to things like this. The only advantage men have over women is that they cant be bothered to rifle through their change so often have a note ready where as women will fiddle with their purse finding the RIGHT money, whilst whittering on at you about something you have no interest in. Of course I was always armed with the fake smile and I hate you eyes by the time they had found out they dont have the right money and hand you a tenner anyway.

[Pippa68]

Im ny experience it's the men who spend ages counting out the coppers as they would rather pay with shrapnel than ''break into my last tenner''.

Mind you I was behind and old dear in the queue the other day who took great delight (and wo minutes) in telling us all that her shopping bill was once a years wages for her.

[Pippa68]

*In my*, and 10 MINUTES!!!!!

[warpig3]

Don't start me on queues and paying logic. As a woman it really gets on my t*ts when there is someone in front of me (woman), who is buying one or two items, then has to look in her bag for her purse, look in her purse for her change, count it out (in coppers), then puts receipt in purse, puts purse away, @rses about for a bit then goes. GRRRRRR, all for something that cost 2 quid, for goodnes sake woman, have your money ready!!!!! Rant over.

In my local real-ale pub they allow you to taste the beer before you buy. One woman decided to try the lot (about 8 ales). The pub was 3 deep at the bar, & everybody was getting more & more frustrated as she took her time choosing. Finally, & after much soul searching the made her decision. She pointed to the one she wanted & said."Can I have that one please...with lime"!!!!! Arrrrgggghhh

[4GS]

Real ale, with lime?
bl00dy woman should have been shot!!

[whiffey]

Here's a good one, I've posted it before but never mind.

You know the way people scrabble to load there (sp?) shopping on to the first square inch of conveyor belt as it appears ? It's not going to make a haporth of difference to they're (sp) passage through the checkout, but still they do it. Well anyway, when it's your turn, don't. Wait and watch as the conveyor inches forward revealing acres of lovely shopping space. Hum a tune, grin benignly at the queue behind you who are getting increasingly restless. Finally, if you are lucky, someone might tap you on the shoulder and say 'You could start loading you're (sp?) stuff now !'

Just before you pay, remember something you need urgently, I always choose tomato juice because it is diagonally the furthest away from checkout 1 in Asda. They will probably send a runner to get it for you. Keep grinning at the queue. Lastly, pay with cash, if it's x pounds and 97p, be sure to count out the 97p. Drop a 5p piece and make a pig's breakfast of picking it up, oh dear I can't manage it, my fingers are too big sort of thing !

Go home happy.

If I was in the queue behind you I would part your ribs, take out your (still beating) heart so that you could see just how black it is, you bar steward

[carrust]

4gs. Hung, drawn & quartered we be more fitting. In the same pub some bloke asked for creamflow bitter...the silence at the bar was deafening.

I was stck behind an annoying woman in the post ofice yesterday. This was a little local P.O. with 1 member of staff and a queue of 5 people. This woman had taken a big jiffy bag full of bits and bobs to send. She didn't like how much the postage was, so she was ordering the lady at the counter around, saying "Oh well open it up...take that long thing out...weigh it now...take that round thing out...weigh it now". Oh my god, this went on for 10 minutes, during which time the queue doubled. She ended up deciding to take the package home to re-do, but before she moved away from the counter, she lifted her child (who was so bored they'd removed their shoes to play with!!) up onto the counter to put her shoes on!!!!

[whiffey]

I did at least spare you the refinements, the best one ever was when I saw that they had run out of the Smart Price juice. Naturally the girl returned with ASDA's own brand, so I said I'd prefer the Smart Price, so off she went again. We've run out of that one madame, oh ok then I suppose I'll have to take the ASDA brand then (which most regrettably she had brought with her so I couldn't send her back a third time). On this occasion I felt a bit guilty and apologised to the rest of the queue. I never had the courage to try it a second time.

The permutations are endless, and it's best done in the less than 10 queue because everybody is in a hurry.

Wiffey.
Have you ever been beaten up??

[whiffey]

No, why do you ask ?

[Skreecheeboy]

You're days are numbered Whiffey...

[scoobysoo]
