RANT CORNER
Well chesterfield is generally a nice place and the supermarket staff, definitely including Morrisons, reflect that, except for some reason ALDI. Their staff here are the most miserable, bordering on rude. It's weird.
We must just have a bad one then doesn't help here as all the oldies get a free shuttle from town centre so good luck trying to get your shopping done quickly when they're clogging up the aislesgreenmark wrote: ↑Wed Apr 05, 2023 8:17 pmWell chesterfield is generally a nice place and the supermarket staff, definitely including Morrisons, reflect that, except for some reason ALDI.

Oh man tell me about it. Why do a couple not realise they occupy double the space? Why do they have to have a debate about which pack of meat to buy? I thought the British were supposed to be good at queuing? But's it's not just oldies. Try half-term. Mum and daughters and a couple of friends like a clot. Completely oblivious to anything other than themselves. Gee Whizz!!!Naffman wrote: ↑Wed Apr 05, 2023 8:27 pmWe must just have a bad one then doesn't help here as all the oldies get a free shuttle from town centre so good luck trying to get your shopping done quickly when they're clogging up the aisles

Yeah get in with a plan and get the hell out ASAP. What is this dawdling, picking up and putting down jars and tins. HAVE YOU NOT GOT INTERNET ACCESS???? Research before you shop. So easy. But no, lets wander around aimlessly, far better. Sorry.

I'm not allowed to go shopping with our lass anymore. I just shot everything in the trolley as want to get out as quick as possible, she then picks it back out the trolley checks the sell by date, checks it for damage and sod knows what else then put's it back and searches the shelf starting at the back. She is the very person in a supermarket your describinggreenmark wrote: ↑Wed Apr 05, 2023 9:00 pmYeah get in with a plan and get the hell out ASAP.

Sorry I realise I wa ranting. But I'm so polite that I stand waiting for someone to make their selection and wait some more while they check their list, do something on their phone, have a conversation with a remote co-shppoer on their phone.Michael5482 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 05, 2023 9:08 pmI'm not allowed to go shopping with our lass anymore.

I just don't get this behaviour. Should I be more assertive? Would "excuse me, can I get to the pork loin steaks?".
I'd be useless in the January sales melee.
