TROLLY RAGE!!

Completely agree with every single negative point mentioned in this thread, i'm an "i hate people" person so it's easier to sum up what i hate by just saying: If there are people there, i'm already ****** off.

Things that annoy me, when at the supermarket..

Sheer volume of customers. Feels like a gauntlet some days. I have expect there to be a paper square I bust through at the checkout where John Faschnu will appear shouting awwwwoooogaaa

Trolleys that require £1 to be unchained. They always catch me when I forget my token or I have money, but not a £1

Working in Amsterdam quite often, I've discovered that a 20 cent Euro coin also works on trolleys over here so I always have a couple of those flopping around my wallet. Don't spend 'em here, so am never "caught out" without it!

People that buy scratch cards and insist on scratching them before they walk away.

There was an old lady in our Asda a few weeks ago that literally REEKED of urine. Could smell it almost an aisle away. I felt more sorry for her than anything. :(

Fat people the feel they need a disabled cart because they're too fat to walk.

Some of them are literally so fat that they're clinically disabled. Fat or not, I tend to get wound up by anyone pootling about in one of those automated carts like they own the ******* place.
 
You're all weird.

I got to the Supermarket with one single mission, to get exactly what I went in to get, to queue up at the fastest moving queue and to exit without any fuss. Everything else is a non issue.

You guys are Supermarket noobs.

Pffft amatuers! Go find a tin of corned beef, remove the 'key' and put it in your wallet, thank me later.

(insert 'T' shaped end into trolley lock, wiggle from side to side, profit!)

ALDI/LIDL are really bad for this too, about 5 checkouts in each store and only ever one open! So annoying when you go through with only a couple of things, although people in my local seem often offer to let me go in front of them which is nice.

I raged at a manager bloke on an ALDI checkout once when I pointed out that there were 4 staff members all having a chat around one shelf at the other end of the store, only one till open, and a huge queue of about 10 people snaking through the aisle. The other customers didn't say anything but I could see they were equally miffed/agreed with what I said. He said something or other that amounted to nothing more than drivel and he got another mouthful.
 
The worst for me is probably when you get groups of people, or even just a couple of people who think it's a great idea to stand at the end of the aisles WITH THEIR TROLLIES BLOCKING EVERYTHING/EVERYONE to have a conversation. They don't seem to care that people want to get past, nor do they even acknowledge that they're in the way. Quite often I find they don't want to move even when politely asked so I make no issue of pushing my basket or trolley into theirs. Stupid *****.
 
I had a checkout guy at Asda the other day start talking to me about his days off on sunday's, his mother used to work there before him and was Irish catholic so they assumed he was too, he got the day off to go to church even though he didn't. Then he decided to tell me about his fast metabolism and described his workout routine to me. Also bearing in mind he was really skinny. Awkward.
 
Haven't been into a supermarket for years, always get mine delivered. Standing in line at a supermarket checkout is one of my worst nightmares! it always makes me feel extremely uncomfortable and claustrophobic.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I get the impression you're not a fan of supermarket shopping? :p

I worked at Tesco for 3 years, so I've seen it from both sides.

Most of what I posted was in jest, but they are legitimate complaints :p
 
Used a couple of self service areas in the US, they seem to work much more smoothly.

I just don't like checkout staff being rude and ignorant.

Checkout person: "Would you like help with your packing?"

Checkout person: [scanscanscanscanscanscanscanscanscanscanscanscanscanscan!!!]

Me: . o O (Are you scanning the stuff that fast, making it pile up, to make me realise the error of my ways and wish I had asked for help?! Now you're going to sit there and make me feel bad for making you wait for my card now aren't you?!)

I thought it was just me who thought this! :D

They're definately doing it on purpose. :/
