Supermarket staff who virtually drag you to the self-service tills when they see you waiting for a staffed till to become available. If I had wanted to use one of those fangled things I would have gone to one in the first place. However, I remain polite when I decline...the staff are merely doing what they are encouraged to do.
Supermarket self service tills that nag you half a dozen times to "
....Please take your items...." when you are trying to pack your shopping away in your bag.
Just shut the **** up will you, I know you regard me as a nuisance now that you have taken my money off me, but I am not an octopus and I've only got one pair of hands. I don't want to spend any more time in your shop than is absolutely necessary.
Also supermarket self service tills where there is never anyone around to help when you get the dreaded "...
unexpected item in bagging area..." or "..
please seek assistance...." messages.
Mind you, the tills where there is an assistant aren't always much better.
Aldi in particular seem to train their assistants to scan all the shopping through the till in about two seconds, and then say "..
that will be £xx.xx please..." and sit there harrumphing whilst you are trying to pack your shopping away and pay for it at the same time
Come to think of it, we could have a whole thread or even forum subsection about "
What annoys me about supermarkets"
Rant over for the moment.
