The ‘modern’ shopping experience

People with no spatial awareness who are completely oblivious to everything going on around them.

I go to the supermarché. 2 people are walking in front of me as I go through the entrance. They both just randomly stop right inside the entrance causing me to nearly go into the back of them. They stand there debating and deliberating over some trivial bullshit while blocking the barriers to get in.
Blood pressure starts to increase. “Excuse me!” I say. “Oh err sorry” they say. Walking down one of the aisles and a family walks down 4 a-side down the aisle. I stand my ground. Eventually they realise and one of them steps behind the others.

Down another aisle. I don’t know why people do this but a person ahead decides to turn their trolley sideways blocking the aisle and then does a u-turn.

Getting more annoyed now.

Further along and a group of people gathering what appears to be their entire family for a reunion down one of the aisles blocking it.

People with a scan as you shop gun, but forget to scan as they shop so go to the till anyway with a massive trolley full of stuff.

People who only have their phone or watch to pay with like their Dick Tracy or something.

People who stop at the top an escalator also piss me off.
How can you not know where you’re going. It takes ages to get to the top of the escalator. Plenty of time to decide. There’s only a couple of options sometimes. FFS.

I hate shopping. I’d have it delivered but I’m too tight to pay for it and they substitute weird shit with your order. Like when they don’t have the right dog food, so they send a chew toy instead. WTF?

The only link I could find is American I believe, I say, I believe naaaah boooy!!

  1. What about people who have a purse and/or phone in one hand and therefore have to unload their trolleys with the other hand and then repack at the other end,
    again with only one hand? Even slower if they’re not actually on their phone talking bollocks!

  2. Due to the amount of grief that supermarket shopping generates l have written to the local council education department. I have suggested that “shopping etiquette” should be included in the curriculum, subjects would include shopping trolley handling including disabled version, how to wait in a queue, how to find your means of payment, why standing in front of the door talking to someone means you are a cunt, child handling, aisle negotiation and so on.. As shopping in our lush supermarkets is a recognised cause of arse pain, the measures listed above should in the long term create a calming of the rabid soul thus enabling us to enjoy our green and pleasant land.

  3. Best time to shop is around 9-30pm in my local Tesco, only problem are the mosquitos that seem to come out around the same time to do their shopping, even Pembrokeshire has mosquitos everywhere now, I blame the unusually warm weather!

  4. Was taken to a huge fuck off shopping mall in Chicago when I was a young ‘un.
    My American relatives took me there. It made the Arndale Centre look like my grandad’s allotment. You name it, they had it. Speedboats, guns, chainsaws, even Bugs Bunny.

    And, I had my own room at my Uncle Ed and Auntie Geraldine’s (both sadly gone now) with its own TV. I ended up of a night watching this lady Needless to say, my left wrist wore out. As I watched it, I thought ‘Fucking hell. All we get is Ted Rogers Leslie Crowther, and Nicholas Parsons.’😅

      Sounds a bit like the middle aisle at Aldi 😆

  5. Having personally spent fifteen years in this outfit before retirement, I can honestly say that I have seen pretty well all there is to see. Retail Retards is the name these cunts got labelled. They came in all shapes & sizes. Many different colours, sexes & attitudes.

  6. Old bastard’s man/wife dressed in matching beige, blocking the aisle about a discussion over which can of cheap shit baked beans to buy.

    Best one though was some gen Z twat presenting her phone to pay. Bugger, battery flat. I chirps up battery never goes flat on this, ( credit card)..!

    If looks could kill..😂😂😂

    Prick..!

    • I’ve seen that so often Doc. Seriously it seems not to work smoothly in a majority of cases. I wouldn’t have the patience. They stand their waving their fucking phone about, then staring at it apparently mystified,then stabbing at buttons and trying again. Worst I get with the card is perhaps one time in ten the machine doesn’t like the swipe and I have to insert the card and enter the PIN. A good ten seconds delay and never fails.
