Best over the frozen peas apparently. Catches any escapees if you know what I mean.

My biggest gripe.

The two daily basics we all "pop in" for - bread and milk. While layouts will vary, these two items will usually be at opposite corners at the rear of the shop. And yes, it's done on purpose, to force you to walk past as many alluring goodies as possible.

And it works. My wife will go in for two bottles of milk, and will spend $100. At times when we're a bit low on funds, she'll send me on my own.

The local Pak & save dont have the small hand held baskets, so people push a trolly and finish up buying more than they would have. Pychological warfare on their part.

Another pet hate, people standing by a trolley texting, blocking the aisle ( people texting anywhere, for that matter).

This is so true. I saw a cashier in tears after being yelled at for not "double bagging" the heavy items.....
As the tosser was finishing up I said "Nice, now you can go off and ruin someone elses day" he then turns on me telling me to mind my own business. I nearly got into a rumble during my supermarket shopping....lol Now that would have been a cool story!

Why does everyone in the butchery department look like a mass murderer?

**DrunkenMistake** · 10th June 2012, 17:35

Which supermarket do you shop at exactly?
This could be the reason haha

**Berries** · 10th June 2012, 19:16

Countdown on the one way. I thought IHC only had three letters.

I hate it when the checkout operators seem to be on a go slow. I have worked all day doing the best I can and just want to get home with my shopping. They are there to work, get on with it, especially when there is a big queue. I help them pack my stuff too, a) because it speeds up the process if they also pack and B) I jam as much as I can carry into each bag(trying to save the world one plastic bag at a time).

I also don't worry when I take my Countdown bags through New World...see B above.

Paknsave.

Just put the groceries in the bag you lazy checkout chicks, how the fuck does this save money??

And checkout chicks who sit on their ass and serve you. Stand up FFS.

They are using the customer's time to pack, not using checkout chick's time.

Cut time, cut cost, save money.

Say, making the customers pack their own shit saves half a minute per customer (just an example right). Multiply that by thousands and calculate that by their minimum wage... Saving. Profit.
