I would set up a licensed coffee shop at the front of the shop with TVs and restaurant style buzzers, to indicate when their wives are ready to show them their outfits.. Females would walk down a mini catwalk in the changing room, man will put thumbs up or thumbs down emojis

The thing that annoys me most is customers being rude to the people in the shop usually because they know they can't fight back or they could lose their job,and it is more a I'm better than you attitude and I'm in a crap mood so I'm going to talk down to you and be rude as hell .That is my biggest bug bear especially when the shop assistant has done absolutely nothing wrong. And I have said something to the customer as well when it has happened funny how most back down then when pulled tho.

In Supermarkets, people who walk down one side of an aisle but need something from the other side, so they reach across, meaning they and their trolley are perpendicular to the aisle and blocking it for everyone else.

People who stretch across in front of me to reach something on the shelf without saying 'Excuse me' or asking if they could reach something in front of me.

Also drivers who park on the white line between parking bays and take up 2 bays. Plus drivers of big vans that take up 2 bays by parking the van across the dividing line between bays - front end in one bay and back end in another.

Exactly, we filled in long forms for that privilege. I have a badge but often park in the furthest spot from the entrance to get the extra steps and a bit of a workout on the way back with four heavy bags of shopping in each hand, but when in a rush the badge comes out

Not all wheel chair users are class as disabled!

My partner was temporarily disabled, in a wheelchair with a smashed up kneecap and femur (post surgery) yet she was NOT entitled to a blue badge (it was income, not mobility based.).

Bastards car park Nazis still charged me, despite the zimmer frame on the back seat and photographic evidence of her in the chair in the carpark.

And then they remember they've got a purse full of coupons......lots of which will be for different shops, or out of date....and then argue that they're not!!

"People who park in disabled bays who are quite clearly not disabled. And don't tell me some disabilities are hidden. If your able to walk then park in a normal spot so that someone who struggles to walk or is old and infirm can park closer to the door. Be considerate. "

I am a disabled veteran and have a blue badge, 1/3rd of my left leg has titanium plates and lovely screws that hold my leg together. I was lucky, that I had the option to keep my leg. On a good day, I do my damn best to not limp, and unless I have shorts on, you can’t see the scars. Other days, I have trouble walking. On my good days, you would say nothing is wrong with me. I can only walk so far, regardless. Being close to the shops gives me some independence and it stops me being housebound! I have PTSD as well, and dislike staying in one place unsafe for too long!

On occasion, someone has the balls to challenge me! I show them my xrays, scars on my legs, arms, chest and back and remind them that I pay for the price of freedom every day! Would you like me to give up my blue badge because you think I should stay home?

Being followed by the fecking security guards.

Used to be blatant when I was younger, slightly less so now but I still feel like walking up to them and saying "While you're following me round the shop, that old dear over there just stuck a leg of lamb down her knickers".

Grrr.

You don’t need to explain yourself to them

I normally just say what the fuck has it got to do with you if someone thinks they have the right to challenge the blue badge which I have for my son and only use when he’s with me.

It gets my back up straight away as they should mind their own bloody business.... and don’t get me started on the saddos that hang around the car waiting to pounce if you don’t put the badge up straight away.

Having my shopping scrutinised by the checkout person.

“Ooh never seen that before” and they start looking at cooking instructions and serving suggestions

“

“Never heard of that, what do you do with it?”

“Does it taste like milk?”

Honestly I’m normally knackered and just want to go home, not have every item in my basket inspected and remarked on

Letting older people park closer is the nice thing to do, however, that does not mean it is a good thing to do.

The biggest cause of muscle wastage is lack of physical activity and those who struggle to walk are given physical therapy as they need exercise otherwise muscles will waste away and the struggle will become much harder.

I've seen some posts on here regarding people parking in disabled spaces who don't have a blue badge. There's a shopping village near me (Rushden Lakes) and at the weekend it is chaos. Lines of cars going around and around trying to find non existent parking spaces with people fighting over spaces yet in front of the actual shops there must be 30 disabled parking spaces. Now I totally agree with giving the disabled the benefit of dedicated parking spaces but this many? Really? It's the same at the supermarkets too, I find it all a bit crazy

"For me poor customer service."

Most people working in banks, shops, cafes, restaurants would most likely say in response.

Rude people

Crowds

Unreasonable behaviour by the general public.

No time for lunch breaks

Unreliable systems

Irritating people who have no patience when they have to wait.

I don’t work in retail,

But I’ve experienced all of the above.

Yes some customer service isn’t great, but have the time to consider why that might be.

Be polite patient and reasonable, these people serving you, are just doing a job, most are on minimum wage. Yet we choose to be rude and disrespect them..

I’m only saying this as I see more customers being the issue than the staff serving them.

I just googled rushden lakes and it said it has over 1,250 spaces ..... I hardly think approx 30 disabled can be seen as crazy. Same with supermarkets as they normally have one row of Disabled spaces.

Trust me, it may have 1250 spaces but when 1500 cars are trying to get in to 1250 spaces and there's a complete empty row of disabled spaces you can see why people get frustrated and park in them

The most irritating thing is those assistants who start reducing items that need to be sold, then walk away as people gather round to pick up the bargains. It either has to be sold or dumped in the compactor, so why not get on with the job, and get the stuff shifted, or do they get a buzz out of it, and go out the back, and give themselves a good fingering, with the thought of denying people a bargain going through the canyons of their minds, blissfully unaware that they would have actually been reducing the companies total losses, and actually maximising profits, by getting redundant stock moved asap at any price. Or is it mismanagement at managerial level that lets it happen.

Women... Who apparently only realise they may have to actually pay for their shopping when it's all been packed in bags, bags packed in trolley... Then the hunt for the handbag begins... But its been packed at the bottom of the trolley, so the trolley must be unpacked to retrieve the handbag... Whereupon she could start the payment process.. But no... All shopping bags must be placed back in the trolley before once more touching the handbag... Its opened... The purse comes out... But she can't find the credit card..the credit card is in the secret safe pocket... The credit card comes out.. Have you got the loyalty card points.... No... Cancel the transaction... The handbag is unzipped again... The purse retrieved and the loyalty card handed over... We start again.. The loyalty card is handed back... We just need the credit card again... But no.. Its been replaced in the purse in the handbag and zipped up... So we do that dance again.... The credit card I'd finally presented... But I can't remember the pin number... Finally... Shopping bagged and in the trolley, credit card relieved of payment and now she has to find her purse to put the card back in... But the purse is in the zipped up handbag... Underneath tele shopping bags.... Has she finished...? Has she fuck...

Oh my..

I forgot to get my vouchers out... Is it too late to use these? No says the polite checkout girl... And so we begin the process of voiding the payment... But I have 15 vouchers.. But some of these won't process... The poor checkout girl is made to explain that they are 18 months past their use by date... We must be done by now surely.... But no there's more... Ooops what did I do with my car park ticket..? The car park ticket isn't in the purse in the zipped up bag... It isn't in the depths of the zipped up bag... It isn't in the pockets of her jacket... Its in her pocket of her jeans... The parking ticket is validated... The purse comes out of the bag one more time.. The ticket goes on the purse in the bag in the trolley... All whilst she's firmly hiding her ground at the end of the conveyor belt... Like the colossus of Rhodes guarding your ability to pay for your bottle of wine as you're on a promise if you could just get home before eternity freezes over.

Shopping bagged and in the trolley, credit card relieved of payment and now she has to find her purse to put the card back in... But the purse is in the zipped up handbag... Underneath tele shopping bags.... Has she finished...? Has she fuck...

Oh my..

I forgot to get my vouchers out... Is it too late to use these? No says the polite checkout girl... And so we begin the process of voiding the payment... But I have 15 vouchers.. But some of these won't process... The poor checkout girl is made to explain that they are 18 months past their use by date... We must be done by now surely.... But no there's more... Ooops what did I do with my car park ticket..? The car park ticket isn't in the purse in the zipped up bag... It isn't in the depths of the zipped up bag... It isn't in the pockets of her jacket... Its in her pocket of her jeans... The parking ticket is validated... The purse comes out of the bag one more time.. The ticket goes on the purse in the bag in the trolley... All whilst she's firmly hiding her ground at the end of the conveyor belt... Like the colossus of Rhodes guarding your ability to pay for your bottle of wine as you're on a promise if you could just get home before eternity freezes over. "

Omg I laughed so hard at this

Missin’ Yo’ Kissin’

Self service tills what the fuck is that?

Throw em in the fuckin' skip!

I'm not playin' shop age 5 with me bestie mate (and she's getting on my tits - in a few secs she say's "I'm going to go" for dramatic effect and I say "see ya bye! Then she'll be back the next day & everything is forgiven!")

Supermarkets for fuck sake Pay a proper employee to bip 'em through at break neck speed!

It's always my luck to get the item that won't go through ya wee beastie (going all Jethro Tull since I've been watching the "Hobbit! Don't know why?")

You call someone but they are not there cos they are talkin' to their bestie mate and 4 other bestie mate shaggers that are doing fuck all! They are pretending they have not seen me & I have to wave my hands in the air like Kermit the frog on crack to get their attention! They take 2 weeks to get there. Honestly, I've seen strikes end faster than that! When they do arrive it takes them seconds cos they can't get it to work then they end up over riding it that then works. What a fucking faff!

I have to then imagine Acker Bilk clarinet solo in my heead, you know "Stranger On The Shore" and a peacefull tranquill walter falls flowing and dusky maidens in revealing skimpy beach wear walking around with coconuts and bounty bars (don't ask)

Then count of 1-10.

Focus. All is clear..... Feel calm be calm...and que happy face. Followed by thanks for your help! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....
