Another Checkout Comment

You put your shopping on conveyor belt, put the plastic divider thingy after your shopping. Person behinds you moves it up and squashes your rolls against the hard stuff so they can squeeze their stuff on.

Ooh, blooming customers.

No question really, another irksome day shopping.

I tutted and moved their stuff back as it was falling over onto me rolls.

Have you thought about that?

It would be a great job for you
Not sure how you would go about applying probably keep an eye on all your local supermarkets websites

Very funny steve.

Have a word with B00 Desky, she'll give you a few tips. Isn't it the Co-op she works for?

i hate being crowded and jostled from behind at the checkout

i always keep a discreet distance from the person in front of me - and i do not advance until they are picking up their bags to walk away

I would push the plastic thingy back and say in a very loud voice "Look what you are doing missus. You are squashing my rolls. Be more careful can't you".

I usually speak very quietly and I never shout but I have been known to raise my voice enough for most of the supermarket to hear.

How rude.

Triggs I like the personal touch and never go to self-serve. I think that way could lead to even more unemployent.

Desktop would need to find a supermarket without music to work in. (No offence Desktop - you know what you are like when you cant identify the track)!

Lidl's were looking for staff, don't know if they still are.

Excel xx
Exactly, when we had a local Post Office I would stand a few feet behind the person being served to give them some privacy, the number of times I was asked 'are you in the queue?'
It nearly, nearly got to the stage that I replied 'I'm standing here for the good of my health!'
In fact, it did one day :-)

afternoon Buggles x

Embarrassing folk for their own good is an education to them.
Some folk just look too scary though :-)

[Ric.ror]

Well thats why I thought it would be good for Desky - she could listen to the songs and make some new friends and get paid

Win win if you ask me

[biggleswade]

alba you just do not make eye contact. Say most of it while you are pushing their stuff back. Just make sure your voice is loud.
