annoying things......
I work on the checkouts in a local supermarket & I can't be alone in some of the things that really annoy me whilst doing my job. One of my real pet hates is customers who decide to put their bank notes or loyalty card inside their mouth and then hand it to you-yuk. Another is children being allowed to sit in the trolley, I mean, where the shopping goes. A few weeks ago I was serving a customer who had a child in with the shopping & the child had obviously soiled its nappy (need I say more!) The thing is, that trolley was going to be wheeled out & left for some other customer to use. Not nice. Anything else to add by others?

1- why bring a basket full of stuff to the till, only to tell us you don't want any of it?
2- the loyalty card thing, but t least now I've learned to always validate peoples receipts even if they say they haven't got a card, they inevitably say after the transaction "oh but my wife/sister/mother/god-daughter has".
3- people on their mobiles while I'm trying to serve them or worse do a refund for them, and they look annoyed at ME for talking to them, or stopping and waiting till they have finished.
4- People who are so rude or nasty they have reduced many of us to tears. That Curiosty is how it affects our lives. many customers don't realise that we are also people with feelings too, we are not robots and should not be treated as such.
Any you never know people might start to enjoy being nice!
Whenever I do my weekly shop at Tesco's, the cashiers nearly always ask if I need help with my pack, to which I always say 'no thank you'.For some bizarre reason this seems to P them off because no matter how fast I pack, they just increase the speed of the scanning until you end up with a pile of goods waiting to be packed.I am sure this is done deliberately.Another thing that really annoys me is when the cashier completely ingnores you and spends the whole time chatting to the cashier on the next till about what they are going to do on Saturday night.I know there are lots of rude customers,but there are also lots of polite ones too, and I would like to think I am one of the good ones.
Supermarkets may seem convenient because they have easy parking, but for the hassle involved they are just not worth it, if you really think about it. And don't even get me started on their relationship with their suppliers!
- the answer to the question about the Terry Pratchett Toby Jug is that its normally worth between �30 and �40 on eBay. Bernard Pearson the sculptor who produced it has a website at discworldemporium.com and on the forum there you'll find a loyal bunch of his and Terry's fans there who would be pleased to make you an offer if you didn't fancy eBay.
Three years ago it would have made about �150-200 but the general feeling now is that Terry - and Discworld - are not as popular as they once were. Clarecraft - the firm started by Bernard Pearson who made the character merchandising for the Discworld books - ceased trading in 2005, another victim of the slump in popularity.
Hope that helps
