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"
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!
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
