Onto the second page about Supermarket pet hates, and still no mention of the kind of person who thinks their inane conversation on their mobile phone takes precedence over bagging and paying for their shopping.
These checkout tills ought to have theatre-style flip-down seats built into the sides, so the rest of us can take the weight off our feet while the timewaster in front satisfies their need for attention.

My true favorite is when your in the queue for the ATM, in a hurry and a mother is at the till letting her small child operate the buttons. After 25 mins of messing about they finally get their money only for Mum to count it out whilst still infront of the till. Finally it is your turn and you guessed it no money left.
Or whatabout going into the fish shop, there is no other person in but the first words to greet you are, "We're waiting for fish love'. So you wait until the fish are fried and meanwhile a crowd comes in all wanting chips only, by the time they've gone and your fish are ready, there are no chips left. B******D.

Or the realisation that, after queueing for ages, the person using the ATM has just inserted their card for the third time.

When it states this till is for 10 items only it means 10 items only not 11 alright! !!!
The other day in the supermarket near me there was a wax jacket wearing upper middle class sloane type woman loading up the "basket only" aisle from a supermarket trolley. It says 'basket only' FFS.
None of the supermarket staff said anything. Why do people like this think they can do what they like?
Oh, wait, the Tories are in charge again.

Damn those Tories for not focusing on better regulation of supermarket queues!!!
Would never have happened under Gordon Brown
The last government were convinced that we were there to do their bidding. They wasted vast quantities of our money in order to spy on us, intimidate us and needlessly over regulate us, whilst gold plating their own pensions and expenses. Their behind the scenes encouragement of, and turning a blind eye to, the kettling and harrassment tactics of the Police are a shameful episode in our history which we need to remember and address urgently. - Haloman

Well, I never saw any similar incidents under El Broon.
In fact, I very rarely saw any sloane types in the supermarket under New Labour, let alone dizzy bints with no manners.
A coincidence? I think not.

You don't seem like a proper old person. You know, the type who stares at the machine thinking that it works by magic.
You have eloquently described how most people interact with their television set.

The self service machines are fantastic as long as the bag scales aren't too sensitive. Can get me bits and be out in no time with the added bonus of not having to speak to anyone. Just as long as old people arent using them a no ###### idiots with trolleys doing a massive shop.
