Oh yes, fantastic - and to add to ned's hates, can I also add old people who go to the supermarkets on a Saturday morning and people (sorry, women) who wait for all their shopping to be scanned before they start packing and then, once they've packed, they then delve into the black hole that they call their handbags and rummage around for what feels like hours to find their purse.
Oh yes, and people who stand in front of (for example, the fish past section) have a very lengthy conversation about what or whether they should purchase a bit of crab paste when all i want to do is grab a jar of sardine and tomato.
Supermarkets - mainly ex Safeway Morrisons in my experience, who wait until the queues at the checkouts are starting to snake towards the M25 before they bother to open any other tills.
Etc... I could go on all day on this one.....................
Finally, just an observation here, if old people are pleading poverty so much, how is is that so many of them can afford to shop for food at M&S??? I was in my local M&S on Saturday and it was like god's waiting room!!
And what about those plonkers who think "Baskets Only" means put your basket in trolley and then pi55 everyone else in the queue off by taking enough space for 3 people.
And what about that gas they pump into the atmosphere that turns everyone (except me it seems!) into a dawdling zombie and how do they know to always be in my way aaaarrrrggggg, my local asda like the set from "dawn of the dead"
Still on OAPs. With their free bus travel, (they now won't walk anywhere) and rich enhanced M&S food they are now fast becoming the next obese generation. We will soon have to enlarge doorways on public transport and supermarkets, for them to pass through, without becoming stuck. As usual the taxpayer will have to pay for it.
I think you have to sign for cashback so that you don't go back later and claim the assistant never gave it to you. However, in my local COOP, they make you sign BEFORE they give you the money. I had the manager out to explain the ridiculous policy, but he had had a brain bypass, and just said it was "company policy". I told him their policy protected neither the customer nor the shop, but he said if there was a dispute they always give the customer their money. Now there's tempting....
I'm with sp1814 ~ doesn't anyone use real money anymore?
This morning I was in a queue & everyone was using debit cards..the chip&pin was taking forever & I very nearly threw my basket in the aisle. Instead I moved to the basket/cash only till which had miraculously opened seconds before ~ only to stand behind a customer who handed over a debit card..the cashier smiled & processed the payment. Sheesh.
I generally use cash, occasionally the debit card. I never have cash back though.
Gef on what planet can a debit card be slower than a cheque. You tear out a cheque hand it over they print it you check it, sign it they take your debit card and write war and peace on the back taking lots of time to check all the stuff. Compared to: card in slot type pin viola!
I can tolerate chip and pin but cheques make my blood boil especially when they guarentee it with a debit card! Why not just use the card, Oh I know you need the 3 days for it to clear because you're skint! The get organised!

Sorry Loosehead but I am organised. I always use cash. I know that a cheque takes a while but chip and pin takes just as long - put card in, wait ages, put in pin, wait ages. Why can't people just use cash?
Pippa I know what you mean. Only once found a supermarket with a cash only checkout. Great I thought until the idiot in front of me then proceeded to pay by card. Felt like telling him to pxxs off - aaarrrrgh.

I agree cash is king gef, I mostly use it, the card/cheque thing is really me trying to grade what anoys me the most and it's cheques.
I think what annoys people about oap's is that they can go shopping anytime but they always seem to be dodering about delaying you in your lunch hour when they have all the time in the world and you don't
