Why on earth would you think I would not say that? I don't see it as a big deal at all.

While it's nice to be nice, if someone is being rude, I would be rude back. Huffing and puffing I would tell them to cop onto themselves and have a bit of manners.

If someone is standing almost on top of you in the queue, which is another method of trying to hurry people up, I turn around and say, "stop standing up my back."

So it's not just me.

So how this scenario ALWAYS plays out in my local Tesco

Oul dear in front of me, let's say in her 60's, puts her basket of shopping down, bleeped through, then will ask the foreign lad on the till for the most obscure pack of cigarettes known to man. After lad pointing at every single pack she decides on the most obvious pack

Then we move on to Euro millions

Then to Irish lotto

Then to check previous tickets for winners

Then we move on to scratch cards

Then we move on to packing up shopping

I HAVEN'T GOT THE TIME OR PATIENTS FOR THIS YOU SELFISH FCUKER. DO ALL THIS BEFORE 4.30

You've been caught behind my mother in law haven't you. I feel your pain.

Hold my beer....

I’ll tell you what I want to see. A drug-free till. When I walk into a shop, i want to put my food down on the till, tap my card, and fvck right off to mind my own business.

Instead, I have to wait while the shopkeeper fvcks around with the machine to grab your fags, then fvcks around trying to get whatever gambling item you want to waste your money on. Then there’s the other 3 people also in front of me who came in to buy their vodka because it’s Friday so of course they’re getting sh!t-faced.

Salthillprom · 28-08-2019 7:21pm

What drives me absolutely loo-lah is when some biddy is at the checkout and half her items are scanned through and she suddenly remembers that she forgot to get an item. And then heads off back down the shop to retrieve said item. Meanwhile you've to stand there for minutes on end waiting for her to return with her jar of beetroot or whatever.
And THEN you're into the bag rummaging for wallet and further bag rummaging for vouchers. Give me patience!

Yep, invasion of personal space, would also ask them if they were trying for a jockey back ( now theres aul wan speak)

Another annoying thing is taking up the whole conveyer belt with their stuff widely spread out the whole length or the ones that start their unpacking at the start of the conveyer belt with a big gap between the customer in front so you can't put your stuff on

Bloody aul ones

It's the scratch cards that are worse. An awful lot of old people seem to get those. And the amount of aul wans that have to scratch each ticket they get at the bloody counter is ridiculous.

I always go to the self service tills. But then I suppose I am going to Tesco. And only shop a few items at a time. Usually I go in late at night as well.

I don't like interacting with the checkout staff. God I am so unsociable. One time I went to the checkout, the woman started chatting to me, like I wasn't into chatting to her, but then I started to notice her looking at me every time I went intp the shop after that. I thought maybe it's cos I had a funny shaped head. Yes that must be it. Anyhow, I started to look at her more closely. She had a cracking body on her. Arra, then one day I was chatting to her again and asked her if she was living with her family here, and she said she had a boyfriend. Strangest woman I ever knew! But great figure and lovely high cheekbones. *Sighs

God, that was a real tangent. Haha

its not just the old or women for thst matter.

i could go on, but i wont as i know your in a hurry Op.

Always Tired · 01-09-2019 1:37am

Some old fella behind me bumped me twice with his trolley today in the Aldi queue. once I can let slide. the second time I felt a deep dark rage rise within me, but being a young guy I knew it would look bad if I melted his face with a verbal barrage.

of course, it would have been perfectly acceptable to say calmly, 'Excuse me, you're after hitting me twice with your trolley, would you mind?' but I just knew that wasn't what would come out so I said nothing.

And of course we were all held up because there was an old biddy at the till talking about the weather not packing her sh!t up.

Then... ****ing then.... I'm walking home in the lashing rain next to a busy street some auld one was getting into a car parked half on the curb, door open blocking the entire footpath. I was about 20 yards away as she began lowering her wrinkled arse into the car, she was looking straight at me, but she still moved that slow that she still hadnt made contact with the seat nor did she bother to pulled the door in an inch by the time I reached her walking at a normal speed. I had an awful urge to kick my foot straight out and slam the door shut on her which I know is terrible to be thinking like that but it was so irritating. you shouldn't be parked there in the first place but no, dont trouble yourself love I'll walk out into the street into the 3 inches of water streaming down the side of the road and maybe get run over, or I'll just stand and wait in the pissing rain with my shopping bags til you get into your nice warm car and settle in.

At least the people working on the tills don't look at surprise at the machine each time it correctly scans an item.

Heinz beans in the hand. Beep. Oh, look! It says Heinz beans on the screen. 69c. Wow! That's what it said on the shelf too. That's really impressive. What's up next? Kerrygold. Beep. Hmmm impressive. Knew exactly what it was. Now I am buying two of these. So I'll just put the other one in the bagging area without scanning it and work out how to tell the machine how I am doubling up. Which halts the whole operation so the little light goes red and they await the arrival of the disinterested attendant, get an explanation and say they didn't realise that you can't do that.

And that's before they ask themselves if they want a bag or not, then realise that they didn't weigh their grapes in the fruit and veg area. So their little light goes to red and they await the arrival of the disinterested attendant. Finally, it's time to pay. And they then take out two debit cards, one credit card and a fistful of change. After a few attempts at remembering their pin they are paid and ready to go. A quick check of the receipt to see if everything they bought scanned correctly. Then off they go, smiling and metaphorically patting themselves on the back for being so technologically advanced and marvelling at all the time they saved by not going to the checkout.

If it were up to me, I'd do a course on self checkout. Issue a licence. And then have a bank of the machines only for those who are licensed. Let the idiots use the other one.

I was in Lidl Fortunestown last week and had the joyful encounter with a father and son double act. Father pushes his way bumping off myself and the lady in front through without an apology. The son, waiting behind me who doesn't grasp how personal space or the till system works. He put his item on the very end of the conveyor belt behind the divider i'd placed down. Im behind somebody with 3/4s of the belt full of their shopping. Grand, I'm in no hurry with my 1 item either. But junior with his single item wants to stand guard over it as it flies up the belt as the lady whos shopping is cleared off. Which in order to do this, would mean me moving out of his way - not gonna happen. That's what queue systems are for. I asked him to step back off my ankles and before I know it, senior is shouting at him to hurry on. What does he do, tries to push into/through me again. Again I asked him to step back. I give him the benefit of the doubt, with brains as his father he aint got much hope.
The father was a bit surprised when I asked him to teach his kid how to be patient. He grumbled something in his native tongue ... I dont think he was wishing me good morning.

The auld wans at the till used to drive me cuckoo as well until one night I met me auld lady at the local supermarket in town (note I lived in town at the time and my mam lived 20 miles away and was doing her weekly shop).

I had bought a few bits at one till and was walking out. I noticed me mam at the last till in the line just as all her shopping finished being scanned. I stopped to say hello when she says to the girl on the till "Oh, I forgot my bags in the car, I'll be back in one minute". So she proceeds to walk out to the carpark and leave a big queue of people stranded behind her waiting to get through!

:D Needless to say they were less than impressed and I had to wait for her to help fill the bags with a heap of eyes burning the back of me skull! I asked her would she not have just filled them back into the trolley and she replied "Ah sure, I'd just have to fill them twice so":D

So next time you are giving out about an auld wan at the till, remember they do not give 2 f*cks about your impatience

Take a breath and relax, they are probably lovely auld ladys doing their chores like everyone else (at least that's what I say to myself now

)

Loneliness for some of the elderly is a very real thing, we'll be old some day too.

I can't abide people knowingly wasting my time either, but if it's an elderly person on their own just making some pleasantries with the cashier I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

I love when this happens...You gradually start moving backwards ever so slightly. Eventually they'll either have to move back or you stand on their toes. I'm a whore for this at the tills or post office or anywhere these gimps exist.

Greentopia · 02-09-2019 9:38pm

I'm verging on aul wan territory and I have everything organised and ready at the checkout and don't hang around fumbling with change or coupons or too much chat.

It doesn't bother me really if an older person takes their time though. They might be lonely and that's their social interaction for that day.

If I'm in a hurry to get home I do what everyone here bitching about older people taking too much time should do-I use the self service.

Seriously if it upsets you that much because your time is So Very Important then just use the self service checkout...(because racing to get home one minute earlier to watch your football team lose again, complain about your boss to the missus or **** off to Pornhub is uber important and a far more productive use of time). :rolleyes:

As for the aul wans (and aul fellas), leave em off enjoy their shopping and more power to them.

Growing old is a privilege denied to many.

If there are that many of them that they are blocking up shops around the country, why not join a club or start one up or something??

Totally agree. I had some wagon hovering over me and practically putting her basket down on top of mine at the self checkout once because two of the four tills were broken and it meant a longer wait in the queue. I was going as fast as possible, but she obviously wanted me to go like speedy gonzalez to make up for the two broken tills. I made a point of looking for my receipt amongst the discarded ones at the till. (Well, I wanted to check what I'd been charged for something anyway but under normal circumstances would have let it go rather than wade through a load of other receipts to find mine).

She nearly went off the deep end at that.

My mother is in her eighties and has become very slow at paying for her stuff and getting sorted. She's not doing it deliberately, people just slow up with age, often mishear the price, aren't as agile at getting money and cards out of their bag quickly etc.

Have some patience. Whether you believe it or not, someday you'll be the old person at the checkout, confusing your debit card with your credit card, or not finding it easy to pack your groceries as quickly as you used to.

I think I got stuck behind an actual time traveller yesterday at my local Iceland. Went to the till and the cashier apologised said she was waiting on a customer who left their wallet in the car. Said customer came back a minute later all in a flap 'I've no cash on me at all, I've only these cards, do you have one of those scanners??" meaning card machine. This was in a branch of a multinational grocery retailer, in an urban area, and again, in 2019. Another big kerfuffle about not being certain of the PIN, at which point the cashier carefully explained contactless, after which point and the issuing of a receipt, the customer was still confusedly trying to key in their PIN.

Male, Irish, couldn't have been much more than fifty.

From having worked in retail and hospitality, while middle aged and elderly people are definitely the demographic that's worse for it, you really can't make it any more specific than that, like in terms of gender, nationality, class.

I mean you CAN, if you just dislike a certain group and so see evidence of them being sh1t and annoying everywhere, or if you too are bored and lonely and rather than natter to cashiers you prefer to try and annoy people into talking to you on the internet, but you wouldn't be correct, trust me.

Was in the local tesco a few months back and the place was packed so just joined any queue made bo difference.waited for ages and this woman infront of me packed everything into her trolley with military precision.annoying but i wasent in a rush.next think the mature lady on till says to her oh you no you can get 3 of these sauces for the price of 2 or something to this effect.next think without a word yer woman swans off back into the shop with her trolley assuming to get her extra sauce or whatever.lady on the till just looks at me like what is she at ?spent the next 5 minutes standing there until she finally just cancelled the transaction!!.i actually felt sorry for the cashier ..some people are just idiots and lack basic common sense.

Also on self service tills btw you can no how to use them perfectly well but that dosent mean they want to work properly.ive often scanned something "please wait for assistance"grand scanned the next thing same thing again.in my local tesco they always ha 1 poor girl or lad trying to look after 6 tills.with half them with people standing there waiting for assistance.
