Is it only me, or does anyone else get boiled when they go to the local supermarket and they are faced with an adult and a couple of kids asking, "can we help with your packing?"
Help with your packing usually comprises of your shopping being dumped into the bag any old how, regardless of what it is, if it is likely to leak or get damaged. Then after all that, there is the ever familiar bucket into which you are supposed to deposit any spare change that you may have left after the supermarket has fleeced you for the weeks shopping.
At our local ASDA and Morrisons (I can't speak for any others) the collection is usually for a school, or a kids' football team that, to be honest, we've usually never heard of. I have no doubt that these are genuine collectors, but I prefer to support charities of MY choice and don't like to feel pressurised into donating money to a cause that I know, and most likely don't want to know, anything about, but if you say "No thanks, I'll pack my own shopping" it makes you feel like a proper twat and if you do let them pack your stuff, you can hardly say, "thanks" and go away without putting something into the bucket, so either way you are bolloxed and unless you are a very hard person, you are more or less obliged to donate, whether you want to or not.
Am I becoming Victor Meldrew or does this get up anyone elses nose as well ?
