FabSwingers.com forum: What annoys you when food shopping?

By *olf and Red OP Couple

Nr Cardiff or at Chams Darlaston

When you’ve just unpacked your trolley onto the conveyor belt. Always get that person behind with 2 items and you feel you have to let them go in front. Then another one appears, as if by magic. Don’t them go or I’d be there all day. So they look at you, like you’re beyond rude even though there is self service checkouts open!

Ditherers. Those who spend ages standing right in front of the piece of shelf I need to get at, doing nothing except having a good dither.

And those who need to pick up every item in the shelf, have a good look at it, and put it back .

4. Self Service tills. Once heard an irate mum shout at a self service till when the "Unexpected item in bagging area" alert started, shout at the till " Its a toddler, its a fucking toddler"

“Sorry, can I just grab that” I’m going to start saying no

On your head be it. I once said no to a little old lady with two items and I had my full family weekly shop piled up like a slag heap. I instantly felt guilt and I ushered her through with a sweep of my hands and a forced smile.

She went Ohhhhhhhh like she was confused and I let her think she was confused as she thanked me.

What ? Don't look at me like that! She was ripe for a gaslighting.

Manufacturers change ingredients / process / suppliers all the time - some of us have to check packaging every single time to make sure it's still safe - two people in this house with allergies, so a few extra mins in the supermarket aisles means avoiding a hospital stay.

720 is manageable. Any more requires a good wrist whip and a gentle prayer that it stays true down the centre.

In fact it's my pet hate about shopping. When someone obstructs the 1080 and it hits their hip and sends the trolley into the eggs.

Pensioners are really bad for it and never seem to get out the way quick enough. Managers aren't interested when I complain.

Paper Town Central, Essex.

You spend all year learning where your items are in the Isles, then a Christmas they go and change their location.

Or...

You get all your shopping with the self scan and right at the end, your scanner crashes...

Or....

You get to the self scan till and it asks for a security check... Your complete shop....!!!!!

Or,,,,

You do a home delivery and find the fresh stuff you ordered, aren't so fresh after all and have to sort and send them back whilst the delivery driver is waiting on your door step IMPATIENTLY....

I used to love shopping. I found it relaxing.

Short amble to get the fresh stuff first. Hit the inshore cafe for a breakfast and a hot chocolate, finish the shopping in a leisurely manner. But at this time of year, it becomes impossible..

Rant over.

War and war over, should I say.

For now.......

Yea I tend to let them go first with a couple of things. But the next person I just don't bother with. As you say theres a self service there But some people either don't want to use it as you have to keep calling someone over, or they just can't be bothered.

What I dislike is when people just block the isles with their trolleys especially at the main entrances.

And people who wait for all the food to be scanned through then suddenly realise they have to pay for it fumbling and fussing in a bag then a purse then dropping the cards etc.

Pensioners, bloody Pensioners. Dithering and Isle blocking.

They should give Pensioners a day off in the week to do their shopping rather than Saturday.

People who push in at the checkout just because they only have 2 items. Dont get me wrong if they wait there turn i will offer them to go before me but hate the ones that assume.

The woman in Lidl who goes faster than I can pack, whilst smiling smugly about it.

Yeah alright you the best you win. If you're on here I'd totally spank your arse!

When they reorganized the whole supermarket yet again.

And when they run out of one particular thing I am looking for to use in a recipe and then needing to go to a second shop for a single item.

I know what you mean .. they ask "do you need help packing your shopping " I say no , then its challenge accepted mode ...

"Some much angst from fabsters...........I think some transcendental meditation is required or maybe Ocado? "

We abandoned Ocado when it stopped working with Waitrose. The M&S own brand stuff was more expensive than Waitrose basics (actually not so expensive) and the range of products overall seemed to take a nosedive. We went back to mooching round Sainsbury's.

My main bugbear is the idiots who park in blue badge bays to collect their Argos flat pack or who park on the hatched markings of the blue badge bays. They are there for a reason. Also the amount of dodgy tarmac and uneven paving on the way from the car to the shop. It's dodgy in a manual wheelchair.

Once inside, I blast around at 90mph and perform abrupt manoeuvres at the ends of aisles, to confuse other shoppers, thus ensuring we snaffle the last carton of Lactofree or the least bruised fruit. Supermarket floors for the win!

The price of food.

The price increases of food.

The quality of the food.

The packaging of the food.

The labelling of the food.

Still. Loo rolls are good.

Females knocking me over when I am trying to read and understand the labels, all supermakets should be compelled to have a section stacked only with the healthy stuff{ Ok I know about the fruit and veg Isle] and also the labelling should apply to the amount of stuff in that package not one frigging gram of it.

"People ambling around the isles and not in control of their trolleys

When people abandon their trolleys in the middle of the aisle, I've been known to push it into the next aisle then go back to watch the fun."

I did this last week, hid an abandoned trolley

"People behind me who start loading their shopping on the belt before i finished unloading my shopping not leaving me enough space.

Bingo ! The Winner by a mile ......

Why do they do that ?"

Because they are wankers?
