Here is a picture from the supermarket the other day

Please tell me, out of 10, how much would it annoy you if the person in front of you laid their shopping out like this, as happened to me. I had a trolley full of shopping for full discolsure.

Oh yeah they moved it forward just before I took the pic, originally started where the pizzas are.

Looks like a very short conveyer and there’s that screen in the way so hard to load right at the cashier end so… I don’t see a problem at all?

Might have been strategic for packing purposes. Get the milk scanned first because that’ll need to be stood up in the bag, everything else can pile around it.

Really easy to push everything up to the front though and let the person behind you start loading stuff on so there isn’t a mad rush to pack when they start scanning your shopping.

Also, very much enjoying #supermarketweek here on drowned in sound dot com

Don’t think I’d be fussed

i’ve decided i’m now above being annoyed by things, i am untouched by your earthly concerns

Tbf I think that this Morrisons specifically annoys me as soon as I’m in the door so it’s disproportionate maybe.

2, because they’ve not put a divider down behind it.

Yeah this was actually my main irk. Also I just always try and make my stuff take up as little space as possible, I guess I’m just a SAINT compared to the rest of you.

This is like the Seinfeld episode where Elaine is annoyed about someone commenting on where she purchased her shoes and Jerry and George are just completely baffled about why she is annoyed by it as a meta commentary on their own inability to write a female character in the sitcom within a sitcom that they’re writing.

Absolutely no idea whatsoever about what the thing that could potentially be annoying about this image is

Hope the person saw you taking a photo of their shopping

I had an absolute delight of a guy on the checkout a while back. I had a full trolley load and the kids were going wild in the aisles and it was taking me a bit more time than usual. There was a rude person behind me in the queue and the checkout guy just took his sweet time, reassuring me that there was no rush and he wasn’t going anywhere, ostentatiously stopping to take swigs out of his drink every so often. Very grateful tbh

yep annoying. 2 pizzas on top of each other so would lay those out flat and take up more space as stacking stuff on top of each other is aesthetically displeasing to me

WHY IS THAT MILK RIGHT AT THE FRONT ON IT’S OWN??? THE BELT WOULD MOVE FORWARD IF THEY MOVED IT NEARER THE REST!

ahem
