What do you hate about it?

I’m not sure which is worse, having the checkout person in Tesco’s continue their conversation with the person in front of you who’s already packed and paid while your stuff is defrosting. You’re totally put on hold.

Or

When the checkout bod is still chatting with them while scanning your stuff and could potentially screw you in the process.

Or

Hell you’re the one they’re talking to and they pause between items to gauge your reaction and or await your response.

Yeah I want them to politely greet me, but I also want out of there as fast as humanly possible.

Is this too much to ask!!

Join my campaign to force supermarkets to have a special '5 questions or less' checkout open at all times.

No, I don't have a Clubcard

No, I don't want one

No, I don't have a 'bag for life'

NO, I don't want one.

Yes, I want a bag. (see previous 2 questions)

No, i'm not collecting the 'computers for schools' vouchers.

Every fucking time.

I had one or two customers who said, No to all of the computer generated questions you have to ask...

Try that

It should also be made perfectly legal to shoot anyone who goes round the Supermarket with a wee notebook & a calculator, totting up their shopping as they go.

One shot. To the head.

Quick. Painless. Effective.

I'm not asking for much.

I do actually feel for the people who work on the checkouts because they are obliged to ask the customers and it must bore them numb.

But if they don't do it, then some 'mystery shopper' will grass them up to H.Q and they will be taken round the back to the cold-store and beaten senseless with frozen pork fillets.

Damn, if I'd known that was the punishment I'd never have asked. And I certainly wouldn't have left. So that's why they all stay ...

I don't mind standing in line.

I object to the checkout people who are busy chatting with each other.

And god help the scout or the brownie at the end of the checkout who lays one finger on my shopping!

No... don't touch it. I'll pay you not to!!
