Done 25k steps at work on Super **** Saturday.

Every year, every supermarket has at least two items which sell out. This year it’s mincemeat and pork pies. It’s a Leicester (and Wakefield) tradition to have pork pie for Christmas Day breakfast. Whinge Whinge from customers. Got mine on Wednesday which has either 27/28 on it

Then all supermarkets have at least two items which have loads of. This time it’s Wensleydale with cranberry. Cheese with fruit in is an abomination. Cheese should be savoury not sweet. Plus brandy cream.

Customers will whine on. It's time to change jobs. If you can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen.

How do you know they haven't been busy constantly and not had a chance to shop. Until now ?

Did an online Christmas shop yesterday, 18 substitutions which had to go back, worst being a vegetarian meal (wife’s) substituted for a meat pie. So we had to brave the crowds, whoever does the picking for online orders, they really do lack common sense at times

Accidentally picked salt and vinegar instead of cheese and onion.....…..

Could have been worse, you could have made a similar error on your Christmas tube of pringles

You can request no substitution. But there’s no option for selecting dietary requirements

If we knew which one we could rearrange the vegetable section to spell OCUK.

My store doesn’t do online shopping but you should see the empty shelves at 6pm yesterday.

There’s a larger supermarket of a competitor a mile from here and no trolleys or baskets available at 3pm on Friday!

I rearranged some initial cushions to spell k**b head (each word on a different shelf) in The Range

I find it strange how people shop like the stores are going to be closed for a month.

A few years back Tesco managed to substitute the beef mince ordered by a devout Muslim family with pork mince. When they complained Tesco sent them a bottle of wine to apologise....

On the train to the airport, flying home for Christmas. Feel bad about leaving the cats for so long.
