Pak n Save, I braved it this morning, on my own. Big mistake
Got to the Lincoln Road branch at 8.15am and the place was heaving, there were some right sites in there. Pushing a giant sized P&S trolley round there was a cross between being on the dodgems and an episode of Wacky Races with rather large pacific islanders blocking most isles oblivious to everyone else just fixated with staring meat n chocolate.
P&S has taken over from Chinese drivers as my favourite subject to moan about, it's turning into a quite nice hobby. It's good to keep ones self busy!
Anyway I'll leave you with this photo I took of the chaos at the checkout.

I'm never going back, I ended up getting PnS Tourette's again. $5 for a tin of soup in 'NZ's cheapest Supermarket dedicated to lowering prices' is taking the piss.
From my recollection a tin of soup in the Asda is a fraction of the price.

Well, thank your lucky stars that you are not in Christchurch. All 15 Countdowns in the city were closed on Xmas eve. Don't see anyone moaning about that here.
Have a good Christmas everyone.

I looked at your photo: I thought it had been uploaded via photobucket but you obviously used "gutbucket". There were some VERY large people on there

Soups you sir.
I'm still trying to work out what Countdown shutting in Christchurch has to do with the price of soup in Pak n Save in Auckland.
