Put your God damn broccoli in a God damn bag so my fucking till doesn't get covered in bits of wet broccoli!

Don't even get me started on wrapping paper! Stop putting your bloody wrapping paper on top of things because it bangs into my screen and knocks all your fucking shopping flying.

Coat hangers. Stop expecting me to be able to fold your clothes with the hanger still in it!!

I love people who weigh their own veg and use the stickers. I just have to scan the barcode then instead of pratting around on the screen trying to find it!

You can still do the self weigh thing? Not seen that in years.

Wrapping paper? Takes up too much room on the belt if you give it it's own space so by the time I've emptied my trolley I'm way behind on packing.

Broccoli; ok. Fair one. Sorry about the broccoli.

As long as you put your broccoli in a bag, then I don't mind. I know where most things are on the screen now anyway

I do bananas on autopilot though, bananas are plu, favourites, 3. But today I hit plu, weighed veg (which is just below favourites), 3 which is sprouts! Oops

Yep.

Ok, put it on top of things at the side of the belt that the 'next customer' sign things are then, that way even if it does interfere with the sensors that stop the belt, it won't bang into the screen

Broccoli (grrr)

I thought this was a post about fucking broccoli.

Now, fucking a hollowed out melon I understand, maybe wanking will a couple of slices of ham. But fucking broccoli would hurt (and leave hard to explain green bits under your foreskin).

No, if it's already wrapped its fine. Carrots and potatoes are fine too. Onions slightly irk me, but carrots and potatoes don't leave bits everywhere

Dealing with awkward people who don't follow the rules in supermarkets is easy.

Just quietly drop "extra" items into their shopping trollies for them!

I don't like it when people leave the belt wet... I can never work out what they have bought that is so wet.

I haven't worked on a till since 1983, and then it was books, but I don't envy you your role at this time of year. Everyone gets so fractious.

I did some research...

Things that make the belt wet:

Milk (less so when the milk has been sat in the trolley for a while, more so if it was the last thing they picked up)

Other refrigerated drinks

Frozen food

Vegetables (mainly unbagged broccoli)

Anything wet on the inside of the packaging that leaks

Chicken juice

Fish juice from the fresh counter

Bags of ice

Hope this helps

Chicken and fish juice aren't good... they'd make the belt and everything else potentially dangerous. We may need to start a campaign for more packaging for these items. I don't like excess packaging but campylobacter is worse.
