    Any of you bastards working a crappy job to pay for it.

    I'm working Sainsburys 6 days a week. It's slowly killing me inside.

    "Oi mate, you got any....you know....like....small butter? Not this medium sized crap"

    "Where are the eggs?"
    "Aisle 23 madam....um the one we're in, yes I'm standing right next to the eggs, yes...you are as well"

    I had a bloke giving me a lecture about nappies the other day, and one yesterday on the verge of a fit because his favourite bread had gone up 7p. He asked for me to go get the "bread manager".

    WOOO! SAINSBURYS

    "Where are the eggs?"
    "Aisle 23 madam....um the one we're in, yes I'm standing right next to the eggs, yes...you are as well"
    LOL, its all too familiar! i get this all the time and there are only 5 isles. some people are just too lazy to search for an item themselves.

    There's 33 aisles in the one I work in (it used to be called "Savacentre", it's more of a hypermarket than a supermarket).

    In addition there's the alcohol section, electronics, pharmacy, clothing and the news bit. So it's bloody massive.

    My job requires me to collect internet orders so basically I have to walk around the whole shop. You wouldn't believe the amount of utter tw*ts that just order like ten 4 litre bottles of water and a copy of Heat....arghhh. Or the ones that just want frozen stuff.

    So it's generally either exhausting or very cold. Sometimes both. Rather brilliantly, it's always mind-numbingly dull.

    cucumber is possibly the most digusting thing ever.

    It's all about the toasted turkey club sandwich from the polish deli.

    that's because it has no taste, why would anyone pay for anything that has no taste or any real calorific content, above and beyond the obvious willy gags?

    That's just odd.

    A baguel with red pepper homous and green olives - toasted is about as weird as I go.

    nope no vomit, you will seriously wonder how you lived without this amazing taste!
    and the best sandwich has got to be a bacon and egg butty, with brown sauce, and tea in a polystyrene cup
