    Hate the ****ers walking down an aisle and suddenly turn around with their trolley and hitting me with it. No observation and checking around them first for other shoppers, just turn it around and hits me. Ignorant. How did they get there and how are they getting their shopping home? I hope they're not the ones driving.

    Yes, spatial awareness is key. Many are devoid of it.
    Luckily mine is so refined, I have the alacrity and prescience of mind to avoid most clumsy clods.:)
    It's all about anticipation.

    Pissed people in the off-licence. Bad enough in a pub...

    Staff congregating together for a chat and a bit of piss-taking - Obviously only when I need to find something on a shelf behind them!
    It's a thankless enough job without me begrudging them a bit of banter.

    Obviously, aisle blockers. In particular the entrance or exit. Easier to negotiate around em when in the aisle.

    Culchie is your favourite word. You've said it many a time on threads. Ignorantly so, on most of them.

    I'm not, per se, but that word really gets to me.

    Some think it's harmless, but I find it offensive and completely derogatory.

    People emptying the contents of their basket at the checkout and failing to stack it properly. All it takes is one basket to stacked arseways and all the rest are just thrown in on top of it. I always end up sorting them out before I stack mine.


    I get you, but just the last line there, I'd say there's the complete Meldrew about you:pac:

    Come on now. I just happened to be on a thread you were posting on earlier, and you were accosted for being an ignoramus. Twice in the space of a few hours? We'll leave it at that.

    I hate their dead air and their 'calming' muzak’ that tinkles over the tannoy, punctuated only by the occasional *ping pong* that heralds a bored and disembodied announcement about the latest special offer on isle three or the protesting shrieks of a small child dragged across the floor to the checkout, that I sympathize with far more then it’s exasperated parent.

    I hate the feeling that as a homo-sapien, a hunter gatherer species, that these palaces of easy consumption have stolen yet another slice of my humanity and my soul, or more appropriately that they have bought it cheaply for 9.99 or a ‘two a for the price of one’ offer, and I can't escape the feeling that another half hour spent in such a sterile purgatory will leave me shuffling along behind my trolley like an over medicated psychotic in a psychiatric ward and that my only real chance of escape or redemption would be to tear off my clothes, fashion a spear from a display stand and joyously hunt a bag packer down as he flees through the frozen good section......and then revel in my kill…..

    Leave out the personal stuff. Culchie is just a collective. Nothing uncommon in after hours Culchies vs. Jackeens. Let it go.

    Occasionally whilst walking through a supermarket, it occurs to me that this is the modern alternative to hunting and killing animals, which saddens me.

    I have to say, I really love supermarkets.

    In fact I'm almost overly fond of them.

    The best are the foreign supermarkets. When you're abroad of course.
    Theres nothing better than having a wander around looking at all the weird stuff the locals eat.

    Dried sugared cuttlefish, malaysia was a horrific find. Smell of it!

    Ok as i Fix the Self Service fastlanes I can tell you for sure the "scanner/scale" does weight items in both Tesco's & Superquinn, you have to go into the items and tell it what it is carrotts etc. I recommend not to put any bag onto the packing area of the fastlane bar a store disposable plastic bag as to much variation in weight on the re-usable ones. If some of you might have noticed some of the Tesco stores are getting new fastlanes which are a lot quicker and reliabel with coin recyclers built in so you can poor your jars of coins into them against your shopping, so far Ballybrack, Dundrum, Nutrgrove & Gorey have the new ones installed. One thing that wrecks store staffs heads are customers who just scan an item to check the price and then walk away and makes that fastlane unusable until staff cancel the item.
    Also makes me laugh when I have one of these dismantled and still have customer standing beside me queuing to use it :)
