Re: Pet Peeves?

Wasn't quite what I meant, but of course they did!



I didn't drink anything at mine either, since we had to use two cars to ferry my parents and sister about with us and our son so I was in...

Re: Pet Peeves?

As long as the outcome was the best one for the children, I suppose one could say it was worth the expense.

Re: Pet Peeves?

Son of a bitch, that's an expensive divorce :blink:

We had crap all money anyway, since I was on a K1, so I wasn't able to work until after I got married but I think we'd have kept it small either...

Re: Pet Peeves?

In my case it was the fact that we just went to the courthouse with a handful of direct family members and one close friend who agreed to take pictures for us, then we went to my sister-in-law's...

Re: Pet Peeves?

Alcohol is the only thing that gets you through a wedding that isn't your own, surely?

Re: Pet Peeves?

I live almost halfway between two, and now for some reason the one to the west has plenty of baskets, where the one to the east (closer to work and generally more handy to get to) has had exactly one...

Re: Pet Peeves?

Handful is just an expression, but I always grab a basket as a matter of course because I never know what I might end up needing while I'm in. I just extend that to the trolley if there are no...

Re: Pet Peeves?

We always seem to have a receipt checker, but there's generally no rhyme or reason to their checking habits. A lot of the time I wonder if just having my receipt out as I get to the door is enough to...

Re: Pet Peeves?

They should only be checking receipts if you have unbagged items (usually if that's your only item). At least that's my experience. If I have a mixture of bagged and unbagged I usually have my...

Re: Pet Peeves?

That might be the way the ones in Tesco worked as well now I think of it. I was only going off what my sister told me at the time, and I was only half listening anyway.

Re: Pet Peeves?

That's some five star clickbait right there.



Tesco had this when we were over last year, but we didn't try it. My sister said it works quite well though.

Re: Pet Peeves?

Well, I'm doing my part anyway. When I'm at the shops I like to get in and out quickly, and if in so doing I make it possible for someone behind me to do the same, then it's a minor victory for the...

Re: Pet Peeves?

A consequence of the ever-expanding wave of automation but really I don't think self checkout is terribly efficient for larger trolley loads unless you have someone with you to help with the bagging...

Re: Pet Peeves?

Under normal circumstances, you're damn right (though I wouldn't have killed you, just stood behind you and tutted loudly), but if it was the only aisle open, that's on the store. There should...

Re: Pet Peeves?

Wouldn't be in the least bit surprising. Boo-hoo, it's your fault we have to employ people and pay them a living wage so we'll jam a fee up your ass.

Re: Pet Peeves?

They should have the self checkouts (they will always need at least one employee to field questions, and unbreak the broken machines that didn't like how fast you were scanning), and then staff the...

Re: Pet Peeves?

Maf'ks would just try to separate it out into two transactions or something it bet, but I love the giant alarm idea to shame them into being sensible and going through a normal aisle.

And then we...

Re: Pet Peeves?

One other thing that really ****s me off is that they never enforce the '15 or less' type rules at express checkouts. I counted 30 items in someone's basket while in line once, and another time...

Re: Pet Peeves?

The only thing that ever happens with razor blades for me (and most recently a flash drive) is that the checkout person doesn't know how to open the little anti-theft box they keep them in. I can...

Re: Pet Peeves?

How hard would it be to have them pay for their items, then send them to customer service with their receipt, where they can then sign up and get a cash refund in the amount of their discount? ...

It'd be like a Top Gear challenge in real life. I can only presume he'd be Hammond.

Re: Pet Peeves?

Those look bloody good.



I'm with you there. Also, that raspberry one is looking rather nice as well.
