Till rant

I'm getting fed up with this, people take so long at the self-service tills in supermarkets it's ridiculous, they stand there for ages ringing their items through and DON'T put them into the plastic bag immediately, they then let them pile up, pay for them, then put them in the plastic bag and it takes TWICE as long, they seem to have no sense of urgency or cognisance of the people behind them, it's all me me me I can take as long as I like is there anyone else around, ah so what I don't care, well I was at the till today and the guy next to me was piling his stuff up and he dropped his sausage roll and I didn't pick it up for him HAH.

Yeaaaah I do get what you mean. Same as when people seem 'surprised' they need to find their card to pay or more specifically for London, when they get to the barriers and THEN take out their card/try and find it. Urgh.

Omg this drives me mad as well... meandering with their head down through the Tube and OH LOOK A TURNSTILE, it's like they're never seen one before and they then have to hurriedly search their for card as if the ticket gate has ambushed them. Yes sure, turnstiles were introduced yesterday, we only just sacked all the armoured guards, *********** *****.

Have you ever said anything to those guilty of this?

Actually I did once, I said to someone "why don't you just put them in the bag AS you're ringing them through?" The response was "I don't know".

Take in 5 minutes of any news channel right now. Realise how lucky you are. 4 weeks ago, some Ukrainian dude felt the exact same way in the Tesco checkout - now he sleeps on the floor of a disused Tesco.

Get. A. Grip.

Also the lunch deal in Coop has gone up from £3.50 to £3.75.

The people of Ukraine wish to extend their sympathies. They're sorry to hear that you're suffering.

So nobody's allowed to get annoyed or irritated about anything apart from the war. All vexations must be swallowed or put on hold because of the merciless genocide in the Ukraine.

I'll remind you of that when your colleague steals the last of the milk.

That's because they are a pile of ****, and often if you use bags on the scales , they start measuring the weight wrong and you have to ask for assistance.

If anything, the people doing this are probably saving you time..

Absolutely ridiculous. It happens but rarely. If it does happen call the assistant. Tell me that when you have multiple people doing this it's not better than everyone piling their stuff up and THEN putting it in their bags.

The people of Palestine are still waiting for their share of that western ourtage.

oh wait they got branded terrorists when they tried to fight back, Putin should build a wall around Kyiv and say it;s the same as what happened to Palestine, just a bunch of terrorists nothing to see here.

cut there power of and bomb a few hospitals every now and again to keep them docile and never let any of the people leave.

West can't say anything then because Israel does the same thing and gets a free pass

ahh sorry arab lives don't matter same as they didn't in the middle east when we were looking for terrorists and WMDs

I'm sick of hearing this. It's such a trendy POV at the moment. I've heard so many people say this over the last few days. You start talking about how dreadful the situation is in the Ukraine and someone says, "it's not like people cared this much about Syria though eh, eh?!"

itt: people who listen to LBC.
