Off topic - Supermarket hates

What grinds your gears when you are doing the weekly shop or even in any retail store in general?

For me the biggest one is the show shopper that takes forever to move on. For instance in the meat aisle they have go through every pack to decide which is the best and then usually don’t end up buying it anyway. Absolutely does my head in. Make your mind up and move on.

People who use trollies at Aldi. It is already rammed enough as it is without you essentially bringing your car into the supermarket. If everyone has trollies then no one could move. You should be limited to how much shopping you can carry with your arm and then on your back when packed or you should be ejected from the store.

You need to fack off and shop somewhere else

As mentioned earlier the public in general. Bunch of self entitled twaaaats

Exactly.

Just look at this thread. It's like a competition to out twaaaat each other. Some people just aren't tech savvy or don't use tech so buy lottery tickets physically. And getting irritated about use of terms like colleague announcements instead of staff announcements is about 10 times worse than being woke.

I wonder what people used to say in the past when anything changed. These days we can't change anything without someone working some serious formula of mental gymnastics to make it about wokeness. I guess some people are just looking for reasons to be offended.

I could go comment by comment as many comments here are just ridiculous, but there's some I agree with of course, but many are just convoluted and a bit silly.

It seems the same guys that get irritated over something like the supermarket changing it's colours are the same guys running around the internet calling people woke and easily offended.

But I'm not irritated or offended by any of these because that's just the way it is and always has been.

When they stop selling summer items. I still want to have a BBQ in September. It is the exact same experience as in summer, just with a thicker jacket. Everything else remains the same if you want it to. Stop denying me my enjoyment because lazy people just want to sit inside and do nothing and order McDonalds.

Having security tags on all the good meat in express kind of stores and it sets the alarm off half the time after I have paid and am leaving. I am paying good money for top quality meat and now I look like a thief for doing so. Put security tags on Pot Noodles so that less well developed people set the alarms off, not me.

You need to speak to Zach to get the inside info how to stuff a few chickens into your jacket with inside hidden pockets.

Its worse than that - they make them sit near the draughty door so fit birds wear a fleece and there's no chance of a peep of so much as a bra strap. Not on.

When you are queuing for the self serve checkout and there is clearly a machine free but the person in front of you is just standing there waiting to be told to use it instead of using their own initiative
