Why is it no matter which queue you are in in a supermarket its the wrong one? Whenever u get near the front its either closing or a customer taking ages in front and the one u were originally gonna stand in but thought it was too busy had gone way down.
grrrrrrrrrrrr

On the subject of Supermarkets - why do couples go round together? How many does it take to fill a trolley?
How often do you see the bloke trailing behind the woman looking miserable? I guess its to take stuff out as the wife puts it in.
All it does is clutter the store making it even more difficult to get around :twisted:
My pet peeve with supermarkets is that the cashier will bag one or two items then throw you the bags to do your own bagging. This is after all the advertising about them doing the bagging for you. I would normally not mind but due to having a disability, bagging and carrying things is difficult for me.
I hate when i'm doing my job checking stock and customers run into me
I hate it when the assistant wizzes stuff down and you have still three bags to fill, when they ask you to pay.......then the people in the Q look at you as to say hurry up.....
How about when you ask where something is and they tell you its on aisle 13, and they insist on taking you there, even though I've told them that I am not an imbecile and could find it on my own!
Yes but takes us away from what we should be doing, cant blame us for wanting to have a skive!
i always get caught behind the person in McDonalds who orders 15 happy meals and 10 mcflurries........
fast food for everyone else except me!!!!!

I still like pushing the trolley really fast and jumping on it for the ride. Great fun! Unless you get the one with the wonky wheel. I feel bad about the old lady and the Shredded Wheat incident but she really should have seen me coming..........

Queuing is part of the great British institute and we should be proud of it, we do it the best!
Queueing we can do... this is what get's me, though...
Queue at the bank, I press my "cashier number five, please" button, and the person in the front of the queue goes to the window next to me, where, of course*, there is no cashier.
*Because, as I am sure you know, it is illegal for all the cashiers windows to be occupied. Especially at lunch time.
having been a shop worker in the past, i still find myself pulling the stock forward when i pick one up. so annoying! :shock:
Well I've worked at a supermarket and I loved my job. It was the first time I had an employer who was not trying to take me to bed or make double-meaning remarks. The customers were really lovely, they got to know you and queue at your till. There were of course one or two odd ones who made you unhappy but the majority of people were really nice. We also got excellent training which helped us with our job and we were treated equally by the managers (e.g. one Christmas a supervisor tricked me to use turkey vouchers for things other than turkey and when I went to use mine they said I could not use them so I referred the matter to the Manager and she determined that I could use my voucher being single and having no use for a big turkey but she did explain that they were making me a favour and of course that what my supervisor had done was wrong in the first place). You can't get fairer than that.
I don't know how much things may have changed in the years since I was a checkout girl and how much less enjoyable working at a supermarket may be but surely if one does their job with enthusiasm and pride and puts customers first, one cannot go wrong.
Flounced off once when this happened only to join an even worse queue. Worse still was that the checkout person saw this and SMIRKED !!! 
Don't mind when it's an old person though as I think sometimes it might be the only conversation they have all day, if they live on their own :angel:
