My Peeve lies with me....

Go in for dog food only, leave with 3 days shopping you didnt need and a receipt that reads £86.46 somehow !

"For me the things that get me most is people in the meat aisle that spend about 5 mins going through every piece of meat. They aren’t that different."

Depends on the meat, steaks can be very different. I do like to pick the best of what I buy, but try to be aware of those waiting around me.

People who just block whole sections of refrigerators with their trolley do my hear in though.

Tend to do it all online now to avoid the hassle.

I no longer shop at Aldi, but I liked that there seemed to be an etiquette there of letting people ahead of you if you have a weeks shopping and the person behind has a handful of items.

the people that lurk about for ten minutes waiting for the reduced section goods to be brought round, then watching them act like wolves once they can get their mitts on them.

Families who treat it like a day out

Only one of you needs to go food shopping. 2 adults and 2 little runts walking side by side is insane.
Leave the little caaants at home

So...you then...🤭

The fact that supermarkets sack till workers and create self serve checkouts that the customers have to operate themselves without any training, that never work properly, and they dont adjust their prices to compensate the customer against the massive savings they make by adopting this policy.

Dutch supermarkets take some beating when it comes to rudeness.

You may have one item but some people would be prepared to shatter your femur with their overloaded trolley rather than let you get in front of you in the queue

Oi...... boooo.

Im sure if you had £86.46 to your name you would be the same !!

My local Tesco is a big store, yet you only have about 2 metres space to queue up before you end up standing in the aisles. And of course they only open a few checkouts.

Gangs of thieves who help themselves to goods without paying and then walk out with nothing being done

Another one is kids being loud or annoying in the actual shop.

Also old people taking ages to unload their trolley onto the checkout belt, or taking ages to walk towards the till. I just push past them now cba waiting and not my issue.

I generally only go an hour or so before closing time. Hardly anyone else is ever in there so not much to be annoyed about.

Other than when the supermarkets themselves do things like rearrange the entire aisle system so now butter, yoghurt and milk are in three completely separate aisles.

People with trollies who stop to chat in the middle of the aisle to chat and block up the place.

-----

this 1000%. or theyre not even chatting, theyre just standing there blocking the isle oblvious to the people behind trying to get past. OPEN YOUR EYES IDIOT

People who just stop in the middle blocking everybody. Women who spend half an hour carefully arranging items into bags one by one, whilst a huge queue builds up at the checkout. Lottery buying old codgers.

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

Yes. Used to work in a supermarket a number of years back and there a mother & adult son (apparently quite wealthy) who came in every evening for the sole purpose of the reduced goods and also didn’t acknowledge each other while doing this but everyone knew they were related.

Hated to see them get anything and would always offer good reduced items to my colleagues instead of letting those 2 cheap skates at them.

Yeah this

Coupon fackers taking ages to rifle through their handbags to find coupons to get 10p off something. Women who wait til everything is bagged up perfectly before taking ages to find their card to pay

When you're buying a modest amount of items and people in the queue in front of you have their trolleys filled to the max. Can't there be a special checkout for people trying to feed an army?

This is more a gripe at Tescos rather than other people shopping, but if you ever use those self scanning things, where you go around and scan each item you put into the basket, so that when you get to the till you can supposedly just pay quicker.. it ALWAYS triggers one of the staff members to have to check what you've bought. They staff will say the checks are triggered at random but it triggers every single time, thus defeating the purpose of these scanning things.

Caaants that think it’s ok to fack off and find something they’ve forgot whilst their shopping sits in a big pile on the converter belt

The escalators always being broken at Tesco.

No problem with that. Supermarkets have been helping themselves during the cost of company profits crisis. What goes around comes around
