They even walk around doing impressions of you, wearing the clothes they stole of you last time they dropped your shopping off
Than.
when you start getting used to where everything is,
and then they go and move things around
also some really good LOL'S in this thread
Local Asda just done this, moved everything to different aisles

I'm a rational man usually, but I swear to god... This makes me wish I'd brought a chainsaw/katana with me.
Customers that rock up at my till on the phone and expect to be served. F off! 
People with no patience with he person in front of them inching their trolley ever forwards to the point they are actually blocking their access to the chip & pin machine.
I'd write more but RAGE! :|

There are 2 sides to the annoyance of shopping. On one hand you have some of the dregs of society as customers, they're rude, take ages to get their money out, and bring their screaming ADHD kids with them. On the other hand you have the staff who can also be rude, rush you through before you're even finished shopping, don't get out of your way while they're stacking shelves, etc.
In short, people are annoying.

In Iceland Frozen Foods, we pack for you- unless you ask otherwise
They offer that in the Tesco where I shop too, but they just chuck everything into bags, without taking weight/temperature etc etc into consideration, so despite the offer of 'help' self-packing is still necessary.
The 20 empty disabled parking spaces I drive past to get to a full parent/child parking area.
People who clearly should never have been given a license in the first place as they just can't reverse park, taking an age in the attempt only to give up.
People (usually women) who will stop at the entrance/exit to check receipt/put purse away, check phone etc etc.
My worst rage though is when you get people who look at you as if you are a bad parent when your child throws a tantrum. Most parents will have encountered the terrible twos when nothing...NOTHING, will calm your child down whilst throwing a wobbly until they finally realise you are not going to give in. Giving in just reinforces the bad behaviour so please, mind you're own business, keep your tuts and shaking head suggestions to yourself. They are not welcome and make a stressed, sometimes embarrassed parent even more furious.
(Un)luckily we live in a civilised society where leaving an infant at home is not an option, much the same putting them on a leash or nailing them to a trolley.

I don't get it, do you need to converse with the person you're serving? Why would someone cut off their phone conversation? So they can give you their full attention while you scan shopping?
Personally, I've found a lot of people are intending to use the bags they bring for other reasons. Hence why I ask.

This.
When there are 5 sainsburys employees standing talking about their facebook status updates.
Checkout people who have conversations/try start them when they should be serving.
Generally annoys me when shop workers have conversations not pertaining to work.
It's your job, you're there to work, not to socialise.

Ahhh, we get told to actually pack all of the bag for you. Or at least the first three items unless you ask otherwise. Personally, I always pack somebodies shopping how I'd like my shopping to be packed i.e. bread in a separate bag so it doesn't get squashed, eggs not with heavy items and meat in a separate bag encase it leaks or anything
have you ever had the non english speaking people ?
i was once behind someone who didnt apear to speak any english they gave the person on the till tons of shrapnel and after a few minutes of adding up they didnt even have enough money
i just moved to a different till as luckily i only had a few items or i would have been stuck behind them for god knows how long

That's great in theory, I'd love my packing done for me.
The problem is I get my bread, eggs etc at the bottom of the bag with my tins on top.
By the time I get home my loaf of bread looks like it's been used as the ball in a game of rugby.
No thanks, I'll pack myself.
