Supermarket etiquette

People who stand for ages at the shelves you want to get something from (usually the reduced section). When I say 'Can I reach over for something', I normally get a surly response back. Some people's social graces go out of the window when shopping....

Maybe you should shop somewhere more upmarket instead.

Waitrose has a nice level entrance. Problem solved :cool:

 

That's too upmarket.

Maybe stores that have two escalators going up could have one dedicated to trolleys so the people without them could get up 30 seconds quicker on the trolley free escalator. :hihi:

 

Asda in Parson Cross has two upwards escalators . . . both of which are used by trolley pushers

:hihi:

That's just reminded me of that very funny 'surveillance photo' captured some time ago by Mr Alco.

 

I've tried to find it on here, but no luck. :(

 

Let's hope he pops in later and posts it again! :)

 

 

EDIT:

Having just spent an enjoyable 30 mins or so reading many old threads, I've just managed to find it.

 

So, here it is for anyone who is remotely interested.

 

Those were the days when we had lots of fun threads on here... :D

They should have 3 escalators one for trolleys, one for young fit folk who can run/skip up and one for older people who can go at their own pace, maybe have a coffee at a lay-by half way up!

Can't disagree with any of the OPs points, would like to add one more.

 

Please wait til I've paid before you push past to arrange your bags in the bagging area. Sadly it's usually people in my age group (old) who do this, and it only seems to happen in Morrisons!

I often wish I knew if it was a VIP shopping day before I went and then I wouldn't bother going....I really hate those days...all those VIP's charging around.....can't help getting in their way. If only they knew....they might be VERY IMPORTANT in their own minds but that's all.
