I won't lie when it comes to buying chicken breasts, i do check the underside of the packaging to see which breasts has the least amounts of the red bloody blotches on the undersides of them.

I tend to find Asda and Aldi do pretty crappy chicken, Tesco isn't so bad

I'll also open the box of eggs to see which ones do no have bird sh!!t or feathers all over them

I don’t get thinking for your second point. Are UK people too ‘Sanitised’ with their food, and animal products? The actual part of the egg you’re eating will be protected no matter how many feathers or bird chit is on the egg shell. You may as well wipe all your eggs clean before using.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've always checked eggs to see if they're not broken before I've bought them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Broken yes, but for feathers, no
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I look at it as well if im at home preparing food and there's a dried up piece of sh!!t next to where im chopping up some meat or veg im not gonna do that while there's dried up sh!!t there am i. I'm gonna clean the surface first. Or additionally, try and make sure there's no sh!!t around where there's food and still clean the surfaces where im prepping. That's also good!

I won't clean off every single speck on each egg but if half of the eggs are covered in filth im gonna buy the next box of eggs

My biggest issue in supermarkets is the self-checkouts.

If I wanted to have been a checkout boy i would have dropped out of school early. It is one of the biggest cons ever that supermarkets make self-checking out more appealing by making the checkouts less appealing by understaffing them.

THIS THIS THIS!

They require less staff to oversee them meaning that the supermarket has less wages it has to pay for manning tills increasing its profits whilst taking jobs away. All that and MAKING YOU THE CUSTOMER DO FOR FREE WHAT SOMEONE ELSE SHOULD BE PAID TO DO. Complete liberty and we just go along with it! Not to mention the SST’s that have screens recording you with their facial recognition. I’ve walked out of such supermarkets that have only had these tills open

I will go to a till that actually has a cashier serving even if it takes longer…


and use cash, I don’t care!
Still doing my bit to delay the new world order


To the poster that asked about people letting you go ahead if you have only a few items in ALDI, that does still happen and it’s refreshing to see. I’ve let others ahead myself and also been allowed to ‘jump’

As mentioned elsewhere, other customers dumping unwanted items wherever regardless of chilled, frozen is just bad manners and laziness. Just makes more unnecessary work for the staff, people only think of themselves.

My eggsperience of self Czech-outs is they need lotsa staff too help people on em as much as if they were proper Czech-outs with peeple

Fair enough, I do get you. Each to their own

I dump all sorts of stuff in supermarkets if I change my mind. I once dumped a mattress in the tissues and diapers section. Another time I dumped a refrigerator with the mentos and mars bars.

Someone will sort it out if the supermarket is well staffed. This helps to stop supermarkets from taking jobs away as they need more staff to make sure it's sorted quickly when something is dumped.

However, if an item is chilled or frozen I will return it where I got it if it's along my way or only a slight deviation from my path, otherwise I'll just dump it in the nearest freezer I can find. I'm not a monster. I'm amazed that people would dump chilled or frozen stuff in a place that isn't cold. Dumping skills these days just aren't what they used to be.

When I have one item and the person in front has a trolley full, and they don't wave me through.
As a generality it's a woman.

Besides, if you wave them through they'll end up buying a variety of lottery tickets and scratch cards and having a ten-minute conversation with the cashier about the many vapes on offer
