Having done a long & thankfully finished some years ago stint in Grocery Retail unlike you I can assure you the above is true but its true because retail is a very low paid job, the hours are very unsocial & nearly always subject to change, would you be happy with a customer every few minutes asking for something even though most that you deal with you see them in the shop daily?


I doubt it & the snide remarks you get from "customers" that pay your wages is through the roof especially with comments like "arent you lucky to be working in the recession" or that gem "I pay your wages, if i shopped in Aldi etc your money would be down", not everybody is well paid in retail & its a thankless job.

This times a million.
These people who get this bizarre sense of superiority when they walk into a shop need to take a good look at themselves.

Why would anyone need to be asked how to be helped, can they not just....tell them?

Wildlife programmes that show too much (i.e. any) of the presenters on camera.

Similarly, YouTubers showing game footage who have an insert of themselves in the corner. Why?

When you go to connect a memory stick, no it win't go in:it's the wrong way up.
You turn it over and try the other side but wait! that doesn't work either. Still the wrong way up?

Turn it over once more and guess what now it slides in without a problem. How the...

It WOULD NOT go in the first time even though it was the right way up. Why!!!
This happens almost every single time!

When you go to the supermarket to get a special offer. It is all you want but the bleedin shelf is empty :mad:
Now you have two choices
1 Buy a full-price equivalent product (if it's available).
2 Piss off home empty handed feeling pissed off about your wasted trip.

There is actually a third option if you're in one of the German shops: buy something you don't really need/want just so you can exit the shop without feeling guilty. The cute hoors have it set up very clever.

Or when it's a 2 for 1, or buy one get one free offer but they only have 1 left

Their "New and improved" sizing is anything but.

There was a time you could grab your size and go.

I've posted before about my trials and tribulations with buying large quantities of milk in the supermarket, but a new TA chapter has opened.

I buy 12 one litre tetra pack cartons at a time.

If you put them all up on the belt, they give out that they have to move/scan them all, and tell you that next time you should just put one up, leave the rest in the trolley, and tell them how many you have.

If you just put one up, they invariably don't hear you say how many you have in the trolley, and get annoyed when they just scan the one and throw it down to the bagging area, and they have to get it back and scan it again as a multiple item (or scan it 11 individual times, like happened last time).

Anyway, today I put the one carton on the belt, have the other 11 fully visible in the child seat in the trolley, loudly acclaim that I have 12 cartons in total before she scans the one. Instead of scanning it, she comes out from the till and her protective shield with this handheld scanner, over to my trolley, loudly tells me to stand back, and starts counting and scanning the cartons in the trolley.

She gets to 11 and admonishes me "You don't have 12!". I say "Yeah, but there's another one on the belt!", and she goes "Why did you leave one there?". "Because I keep getting told to just put one there and tell you how many I have". She goes "No, no, no. You don't do that. We have this new scanner. You're supposed to leave them ALL in the trolley, and we'll come out and scan them". I'm like "Will you stop changing how I buy milk?!?"

TAd they've actually found a way to make their impossible process even more complicated.

There should be a special place in hell for people who double park outside a parking space.

I mean, how does that even enter their thinking? Sure we all know they'll 'only be a minute', and they probably think they're doing someone a favour by not double parking outside them, but now they're not only blocking the street, they're blocking someone else getting off the street too!

Last week some muppet in a Merc did this outside my house. He wasn't in the car when I got back, and the town was busy so I spent a while cruising up and down looking for parking, and still double parked when I eventually got parked and went into the house. So a lot more than five minutes. Even if you do it slowly and carefully, it would take less than twenty seconds to park the ****ing thing and not cause a jam on the street! And there's a space right there!

For bonus muppet points he was parked so close to my neighbour's car behind him I doubt if she'd have been able to get out either. So one space blocked, one car blocked in, and the whole street down to one lane because this ****'s too lazy to park....

I've been gasping for something to drink for the last while but kept thinking "I'll go to the canteen which I finish this job.". I eventually went out and the vending machine man was replenishing the drinks machine, and I remembered that I just say him going by a minute before I went out so he'll be a while...

In the current climate I'd go for it being in the way. At least you know that you have it.... "better to be looking at it than for it"
