Without stopping to pack the average checkout assistant will shift £100 worth of goods every 5-10 minutes, without packing the time can be anything up to quadrupled.

It's the opposite for me. I bring an obviously empty bag and still get "would you like a bag?".
Yeah, this one is just a fashion accessory.
Worse when they don't actually give enough. "One bag for all this?"
Not many things get me annoyed about supermarkets TBH.
Self service tills - I use them a lot and never had an issue with them unlike some people in here seem to... Guess I just know how to use them properly
Dawdlers/Aisle blockers - the aisle is wide enough for 2 trollies to pass. Irritating when 2 people that know each other suddenly meet and decide to stop side by side and have a gab so no one can get through.
Carpark Dawdlers - People that insist on walking up the lanes of the car park like its a pedestrian area. I don't drive on the pavement so get out the chuffing way when I am driving in the car park!!!
Thats about it.

Customer moaning that he cant buy what he wants cause shelves r empty < Shelf Monkey.
Plus my moto is those cages r big and heavy so get out of their way.
This means ur items u want can get onto the shelves so you can buy them and you don't risk getting hit by the cages as they can be very difficult to stop when stupid customers suddenly pop out into their path.
I just flat out refuse to shop in supermarkets any more these days, I get my wife to do all that through the week while I'm at work so I don't have to troop round supermarkets on a weekend.
Although I do occasionally have to nip in while I'm away somewhere for a bit of bait or whatever. Since I wear a shirt and trousers I've had loads of people assume I'm some sort of manager or supervisor asking me where things are. One person even stormed up to me with her two kids and started to make a complaint because the checkout staff wouldn't take her 40p off coupon.
I just have no time for supermarkets whatsoever.

Self service checkouts machines in sainsburys is great no fuss.
What does annoy me is an old person go to self service checkout and then expect the staff member to do the work for them so they can avoid queueing on a manned checkout.
Its called "Self Service" for a reason (excluding age restricted items you need staff member then)

As a former checkout monkey, i used to just give green points based on how many items had been purchased and the price of the shop. I tired once asking how many bags they had used and they ended up having to count them and in th end just guessed lol so i never asked again lol.
I pretty much assumed everyone commenting in this thread were either supermarket employees or unmarried men. Never going to a supermarket again is one of the pro to marriage. It's up there higher than easy sex, seeing as that is a myth lmao.
If you turn up the the supermarkey and there is a 'disabled' minivan outside, go home and come back in 5 hours lol.
The elderly, the same as in so many other areas of my life. They're everywhere, and year by year there are more of them - clogging up the buses, packing the post offices and bringing endless inconvenience to the more able. We'll be drowning in old people before the century's turned, mark my words.

I don't even get asked, they just start scanning all of my **** and fling it down the counter before I interrupt them and politely ask for some bags, they'll usually then look at me with great scorn like I just showed them some kiddy porn because I had the audacity to ask for bags.
