The fact that Orstraylia doesn't really do 'food', either that or there is some sort of en masse taste bud failure going on.... Crikey.... I'd eat a boomerang for five minutes in the M&S food hall.

If the former I'd agree (and anyone living on it probably deserves it) with a few exceptions, but I find the quality of the rest perfectly acceptable. |
Re: Supermarket Pet Hates...
The fact that you're expected to pay bonkers prices for fruit, cos they've been polished and look pretty, in the knowledge that across the road there's a soviet style toilet block that sells seconds less than a quarter of the price.
The reasons you don't go to said toilet block? 1 it's depressing and shitty, 2 you've lost the will to live, 3. They only accept cash, 4 living in Australia has rendered you totally lethargic and disinterested in life and incapable of crossing the road on foot |

I am thinking of items like the dips, the absence of tasty ready meals (other than a meat lasagne that serves 10), cheese so bland it's cut into a variety of shapes to liven it up, a vegetarian section the size of a pinprick and some very odd tasting condiments eg, what is happening with the mayonnaise? The fresh vegetables are acceptable I imagine, other than the crown jewels style pricing and availability which can vary wildly. I wish I could get my head around eating bright orange squidge but i can't seem to overcome my gag reflex... Something which has also prevented me partaking in the vin blanc.
Dips? I dunno, never struck me as a problem ... The cheese is very variable, we tend to stick with Nimbin for 'cheddar like' taste. Mayo I wouldn't know, I cover everything in Chilli Sauce which may account for why I am content :D |
Re: Supermarket Pet Hates...
The express lane: 12 (or 10 whatever) items or Less.
IT"S FEWER!!! |

Shops in general would be fine if they would get rid of all the other customers. But then I generally don't like "the public" anyhow. :rofl: Just don't ever shop at the same time as me :D |

I love 'em, just one of them does my tuna rice perfectly :D |

Re: Supermarket Pet Hates...
I have not read all the comments but for me
People who hog the meat fridge with trolly up and down discussing it as you rush in to just pick up some snags. People who chat with friends in the middle of the isle or Derby and Joan discussing everything whilst people are trying to get past. No offence to Mums but those little trolleys Bunnings seem to have and some other stores are so dangerous. Likely to be run over by people with shopping trolley with mind of its own, being pushed by someone talking on phone or texting. :D Loud phone conversations that interrupt your thoughts about food and you miss the punch line |
Re: Supermarket Pet Hates...
Ten tear old kids sitting in the trollies amongst all the shopping eating lollies being pushed round by their Mums.
Bread being at the front so it gets squashed by every thing else. The look of horror on the face of the checkout person when I say no bags please.They look at you as if you have insulted their mother. Actually I hate food shopping in any country.Take me clothes or shoe shopping instead.Let the kids starve.:thumbsup: |
