Shopping annoyances
Really bugs me everytime I go to the supermarket/shopping in general.
1. Things not priced, so you have to guess. Probably to get people to cough up.
2. Only 2 tills being open during the busy periods.
3. People-especially old people- holding up queues with chip and pin cards, cashback and farting about with vouchers.
4. Self service tills where you have to wait for someone to sort it out because of 'unexpected items' or age restricted items.
5. The fact they only seem to employ 15-18 year olds ( and people moan that youths are more likely t be unemployed).
^. Female staff who think youre hitting on them -

When I walk into a shop - whether Harrods or just the local Tesco - and having the security guard blatantly following me but pretending to be casual...

Re: Shopping annoyances
1. People stopping in the middle of the aisles to have a chat/faff around, often standing two/three people across so you can't get past.
2. 'Unexpected item in bagging area' when you can clearly see there is NOTHING in the bagging area.
3. Staff standing chatting to each other instead of bothering to serve you.
4. People who stand so close to you in the queue there's a danger they might impregnate you.
5. People trying to have a chat to you as you do your shopping - why do grannies think I want to talk to them about their choice of apples? I don't care.
Yeah, I'm quite a grumpy shopper! I like to go in, talk to no-one except the cashier, whizz round, pick up what I want and leave! -
Re: Shopping annoyances
People walking really really slowly or standing in front of an item that you want and you're clearly waiting for them to move.. they know you're waiting for them to move but they stay there 5 minutes anyway.. or when you have to dodge people in the aisles because they can't walk straight.. dont get me started! lmao

Re: Shopping annoyancesIn fairness many companies have the policy where staff have to approach as many customers as possible. I've seen it from both sides where I'm approached and I'm made to approach, it makes you realise that they aren't just doing it to be annoying.(Original post by ROYP)
i hate being hassled by the staff. **** off and let me look around. -

Shop assistants who look down their nose at you!
I was in Hollister a few days ago trying on some jeans, and I accidentally picked up an XS instead of a S, so I asked the assistant if she could go and get me a small. She looked me up and down and said "Don't you want a medium?"
I'm a size 6! -

Most of the worst ones have already been said, but it annoys me so much when the cashiers forget to take the tag-thingies off clothes and then the alarm goes off when you try to leave the shop and everyone looks at you like you're a crminal
