Yes
Supermarket!!
Anything goes, does not have to be specific to any store but the more name dropping the better :lol:

Two things that jar me off are people who spend loads of time farting about at the till paying for stuff on the credit card, and then pull a magazine or some other insignificant piece of crap from out of nowhere and have to pay for it seperatly, so more time wasted rooting about looking for the correct money.

People with kids, dont get me wrong on this one I adore children but for christ sakes mum`s, lash the the little rug rats to the side of the trolley or something.

Oh! and lastly, it should be compulsary for anybody standing about gossiping and blocking the place up to be escorted off the premises immediately :D

Apart from that I love supermarkets :lol:
 
Never go, but Mrs Frac has many a gripe about them............:D
 
older children being pushed round in trolleys by their parents probably also playing on a nintendo ds
 
I 'do' supermarkets regularly . . . about every 15 years :)
 
... Those big-time wheeler dealers on their mobile phones asking "Shall I buy a cabbage? Do we need cornflakes?" :gag:

How about people who stand by the eat/veg spending ages insecting every individual item over and over agin until they finally decide what they want whilst using their trolley to ensure that you can get nowhere near the shelves yourself. :bang:

Tell me about it!! I find it really annoying when you do that Marc :lol:
 
People who block shelves with their trolley. People who leave their trolley on one side of the aisle whilst looking at shelves on the opposite side blocking other people from getting through. People socialising in the middle of the aisles with no thought for other shoppers.
Actually having to go shopping with my wife, it is tedious, she now does hers, I do mine then sit relaxing in the car for 1/2-3/4 an hour waiting for her to walk every aisle at least 3 times.
 
People who leave their trolley at the end of the aisle (sideways) before wandering off to look for stuff :bat:. Even the poor innocent granny gets a rollicking for moving it 2 yards so she can get past, from the lady 15 yards away :bonk:
 
Fit and able lazy bastids parking in Disabled Bays because they can't arsed walking an extra 50 yards.
 
Abuse of disabled parking - if you want my space try having my illness :shrug:

Those types need to be flogged with a cat of nine tails in the car park :clap:
 
Wasting time last Thursday, talking with the 92-year-old who'd flown in Sunderlands during WWII.





I lie, of course. It was a privilege to listen, and read his shopping list for him. He told me he'd rather lose a limb than totally lose his sight. Next time I'm in a hurry, I may miss out on sharing a few minutes with a Gent like that.
 
Why do the crusty rolls always feel crusty at the bakery dept, and then when you get it home to make a cheese and onion snack the roll is as chewy as a bar of toffee :shrug: I think they make the plastic with a crusty feel to it :lol:

Hands up who is now thinking of having a fresh cheese and onion roll :nuts:

Old people who figure they have the right to park in shoppers with babies spaces.

appaling and selfish parking

Yep, the supermarkets have a lot to answer to regarding the size allocated for parking slots. Then (equally) of consequence is the barsteward who opens their door carlessly and leaves a big ding in your door, but doesn't have the common decency to leave a note on your windscreen with their contact details - or, even just to say sorry!

Yep, it does take a selfish sort of person to occupy a disabled slot unnecessarily...! But, imo, the supermarkets do go overboard with the amount they allocate, as they always seem to be never anywhere near full to capacity. Perhaps there's days and times of day when they are? Oh, and on that sort of point, don't get me started on the amount of bloody parent & child parking spaces allocated, and the sight of many who park in them who've got kids well past pre-school, even teenagers decanting from 'mummys people carrier'... lol, not-lol!

Yep, grass is greener syndrome. I used to think the same before I needed a blue badge. Trying to find a disabled bay during the week is often very difficult, my local Morrisons only has eight bays ad it s pretty much impossible to get one in the week.
 
The fact they charge, id love them so much if they just gave me the goods i wanted.
 
Asda - why do they leave a pile of their stupid monthly magazines right on the part of the checkout where you bag your shopping.
 
okay supermarkets are convenient, but they do annoy me. most of the time the bananas are always too yellow to buy and when the shelf is near empty and the shelf stacker comes in with a new batch then where did all the bloomin vultures come from to take all the nice green bananas whilst the poor shelf stacker is trying to fill the shelves up!

the selection of fresh meats are always rubbish, like rump steak with half a ton of fat on the edge or horrible gristle veins through the middle, that aint rump steak in my opinion and at £11.49/kilo a total rip off.

also a lot of supermarkets that do clubcard points and such like, get rid of them and price groceries fairly. the constant special offers to lure people in the special offers do the rounds of all the supermarkets..... arrrrrggggghhhh

and ever notice how when you walk you can buy your fags just inside the entrance while they make the sick and ederly walk to the back of the store for their prescriptions!

dontcha just love them :lol:

Yep, but for me that's a plus-point, lol. Except if you've got more than three items in your basket, meaning you need to go to the main checkouts to pay for them first, or, if it's just tabs you're after you need to wait in the fag-counter queue while others in front of you buy their lotto tickets, scratch cards, pre-payment card thingys for lecky meters, etc etc...

without doubt, this thread's a classic 'grumpy man/woman' jobber, great for venting the splean :lol:

Not content with wasting your time inside the shop, they then want you to queue patiently after buying fuel, whilst people are paying for what seems to be a weekly bloody shop for food in the petrol station as well :gag:
 
Mines the dopey assistant who can see clearly you have a trolley load of shopping and then asks if you need bags before handing you two, then repeatedly giving you two at a time!!!

What do they think we're going to do juggle it all to the car?

...and another thing!

What is it with folks who appear to buy a month's worth of shopping on the run-up to Xmas, Easter etc? They seem to franticly panic-buy everything that's not nailed down and I've often seen couples using two trollies, especially on the eve of such public/bank hols! :gag:

You'd think the shops were closed for a week or two as opposed to being open the following day, e.g. the main supermarkets are open Boxing day, 2nd January, etc :cuckoo: :lol: :cuckoo:
 
people who let their kids prod, poke and vandalise the produce - and people who let their kids eat food before its paid for
 
'Offers' that aren't genuine, like bogofs where they charge you 1.5 times the single item price,
self service tills (you want me to serve myself? give me a discount!),
unmanned normal tills while all amber and red card holders ignore repeated tannoy calls.

I can be in and out of supermarkets 4-5 times a day with work, a big bugbear is also the appalling parking/attitude of customers. Not just disabled and mother/baby slots but parking in the loading bays and doing a weekly shop. Some folk will drive round and round the car park trying to get a spot near the door rather than take the sixty second walk.
 
Parents who let their children sit IN the trollies (not the toddler seats, IN the trolley).

Oh, and I work in Asda :p

i hate shopping there, lots of the customers look like they came from the deprived areas of the city :eek: also the aisles are waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy too narrow its a complete nightmare. its that bad even the brilliant beer offers they have arent gonna tempt me to shop there along with the rubbish cramped tiny parking slots cars have got bigger over the years!

you must obviously have the patience of a saint to work there!
 
Bottles of pop on the top shelf, Being vertically challenged, (not sure if you can get a blue badge for that) But being a cute 5`6" I can never reach the the top shelf for bottles of pop. :annoyed:
Ive tried standing on the little bump strip on the bottom and nearly lost 2 teeth in the process. Why put them so high up?
p.s. the wife said cute. Thats cos she thinks shes getting a new couch next week. i bet it not that when she finds out she aint. :)

Why do so many pensioners, and others who 'may' have free time during the working days of the week, choose to do their shopping on a Saturday ??? If they can/could, I'm sure they would find it less hassle for them to go to the supermarket, thus creating less congestion and hustle & bustle on the weekend :cuckoo: :lol: :cuckoo:

Do you walk about, in and outside of your workplace, slapping your arse humming the Asda tune, as-per what's seen on the Telly Marcel? :thinking: I'm sure it's a grrreat party piece too which would earn you lots of ridicule beer! :p :lol:
 
morrisons in general, its as if they didnt think people would actually need to get up the aisles when they put them so close together (and then exasperate the problem further by putting displays at the end of the aisle so the gap is wide enough to just squeeze a trolley through.

the morrisons self service checkouts that start giving you verbal abuse because you;ve taken longer than one nanosecond between scanning the item and placing it in the bag 'please put the item in the bag, please put the item in the bag, please put the item in the bag, please put the item in the bag, please put the item in the bag, please put the item in the bag, unauthorised item in the bagging area, PANIC, ALERT! flashy lights, authorisation needed for this product, please wait!

people who eat the food before the tills (and then dont pay for it, this is theft!)


the fact that most people drive to the store and the uk road network seems to work quite well, give those same people a trolley inside the store and anything appears to go, uturns, parking in the fast lane, stopping for chats, impeding the flow of traffic and just general trolley based asshattery!, i absolutely detest going shopping for this one reason but i have to go every week on a saturday!

Oh, this is fun

Multi-buy offers on essential stuff such as, say, bread. Then it is all bloody well sold out by the time the folk who have to come to the shots after work actually get there.

The fact that supermarkets intentionally price the 'Value' packs of product higher than if you were to buy the same amount but not in a pack. Handy hint, they now put price per Kilo on the aisle lables, check them!

Steeps already pointed out the practise of hiking the prices especially for the '2 for £X.XX' offer. Well I bought two of those last week at the price you can buy two for now. Robbing bstuds

People who can't park to save their life and think it is OK to put your s***heap people carrier within inches of my car and then let your kids bang the doors against mine. Some tard did that while I was sat in it once, I went ballistic at them when they sais 'It's only a scratch'

People who think parking up with a couple of teenagers classes as parent and child and use the special spaces (Which are always near the bloody door, god knows why they can't put them in a regular part of the car park!)

Dawdlers & social shoppers (GTFO my way!)
Aisle blockers (GTFO of everybodies way!)
Panic buyers (Oh no, an inch of snow, best stock up in case we can't get the the shops next week)

I wonder, am I conveying my dislike of supermarkets well enough. Or maybe I'm just in intolerant grumpy sod.
 
"Go for it people" I feel your pain. This would cost us a fortune it we went to a therapist.
