The staff in my local Tesco Express. I don't expect it to be a bastion of shining standards, but my lord what a bunch of f
king tts they are.
The labelling of the products is designed in such a way that special offers frequently don't apply to what you think they do, and any questioning of it is met with Vicky Pollard-style resignation.
One woman in particular is fking appalling at customer service and does the really annoying 'continue your discussion with other staff whilst serving customer' routine. Then stares at you blankly when it comes to the total. "Oh, what, you'd like me to pay now. Are you going to tell me the total or leave me to look at the screen? Lovely'

Read the f***ING label. If it's a different offer it's described differently on the shelf edge label. No different from any other chain of the same price point.
I also don't condone the impolite cashier, as personally I want people to have the most pleasant experience possible, but moaning you had to look at the screen?Jesus wept.
Your business is broken and will continue to suffer until you and your staff stop treating your customers with contempt.
Apparently this is a common trick.

I stopped shopping at Tesco after this little scam recently. They used to sell a certain product which I often used to buy for the kids' tea at £2.50 each. One day I went in and they were £3.50, except that there was now an offer which said "£3.50, 2 for £6.00". In other words their "offer" was to try to sell me 2 items for £1 MORE than I was paying the previous week. I shop at Aldi now.

It's not a trick. It's clearly marked. Apparently this is a common trick.
The willy dribble in the blue 4 Series at the Bean/Bluewater junction the other day. Ignored the road markings and highway code by using the left lane to turn right, without indication, at the first roundabout. Then ignored the road markings and highway code by using the right lane to go straight across, without indication, at the second roundabout. Then watched me in his rear view mirror as he sat in the right hand lane of the otherwise empty dual carriageway 10MPH below the speed limit to deliberately stop me overtaking him.
The idiots that designed the drop off point layout at Edinburgh Airport
Single queue of traffic single drop off point for an airport that sees over 10 million passengers a year
This single queue of traffic is held up thanks to 3 separate pedestrian crossings with the drop of laid out that every person coming into the airport from the drop off or surface carparks crosses the roads
5 minute tailback this morning at 5am. Worst I've seen is 25 minutes at peak just to get into the drop off point that I have to pay for the privelage of using
Edinburgh airport - knobs
I won't even get myself started on the 34 minutes from paying for my parking to getting out the surface carpark last week

Does anyone here either work for or know anyone working in Customs? He'll need a full cavity drugs search when he gets back to the UK as it's obvious he is a user and abuser and may well be carrying.

The tool this morning on the M1 Northbound just after M25 in a VW. Causing a backlog of cars in lanes 3 and 4 as he was toodling along in lane 3 at about 65 mph.
He seemed to realise this as I went to pass in lane 4 and moved over, so I indicated and started to pull into lane 3, except he now veers back into lane 3 again forcing me back outside.
As I passed him I looked over and saw he had a biro clamped in his teeth and paper in his hands while trying to also hold the wheel. At no point did he register me or my previous manoeuvre (or attempted one).
I passed him and pulled into lane 3 then into lane 2 and watched him in my mirror, he was still veering all over his lane and was still sitting there when he passed from sight. Complete wally.

People listing their number plate as the car's title on eBay
People using expressions such as 'cheap' or 'great value' when a car is being sold by auction
People who use 'not' in their description such as 'not GTI'
People who cannot spell on eBay...
... or take photos that end up inverted...
... in fact almost every damned advert I see on eBay is woefully bad.

Looking for a car on eBay at the moment and I know what you mean. A couple of times i've had to invert the screen on the laptop to be able to make sense of the photos displayed as they're upside down or on the side.

As soon as I see "not Leon Cupra R/Cupra/TSi/TDi I ignore the ad.
I would like to add a couple.
Crap adverts. One's that read:
good car, 70k,fsh.
Or ones that are all in caps.
How difficult is it to talk a little about that car such as how long you've owned it, what you've done to it, what sort of history, and some proper photos and not all in caps!

There are newly-installed roundabouts near me as part of a new road layout. Therefore nice fresh tarmac. I've heard periodic and prolonged screeching and witnessed heavy tyre-marking around them, usually most heavy on a Monday morning. I'd previously considered that these virgin roundabouts were irresistible to the drifting community. Without being judgy, I'd reconciled myself with the thought that at least these are tuned, RWD machines with trick suspension set-ups.
Last night I witnessed the truth.
A sub 100BHP, FWD Astra with 135/70/13s* being inexpertly understeered for three or four circuits of one roundabout before bogging heavily when required to overcome the friction involved in driving in a straight-line.
It did, at least, make me laugh.

- possible exaggeration of puniness of tyre.
The arse biscuit who did this to my daily shed between Friday night and Saturday, presumably with a flat bladed screwdriver. Funnily enough, it had no effect on the lock's operation, just criminal damage.
Presumably they were trying to pop the lock out to get into it, but FFS there was nothing on display apart from a cable that went to the dashcam, and the dashcam itself, which is a cheapo £50 job that would fetch peanuts on the black market allowing for it also being second hand unboxed, I'd imagine. Car itself is not exactly worth stealing. The real kicker? I think it was either done whilst on my driveway, or during a 1 hr period when it was parked over the road in the Library/Community Centre public car park which us locals tend to use as overflow parking if it's not full already. The Library was open, and the car park is pretty visible, so I reckon it was overnight whilst it was on my drive. fkers!
Am now investigating security camera options as I type this, though there are far more important things I should be spending my money on.

People that steal others foodstuffs from fridges at work - make me think knob.
Where I am currently working, they have a kitchen area an a fridge on every floor for people keep milk for their daily tea and coffee.
My desk has a clear view of the fridge on our floor, so I see all.
We all know that every pint has been bought by someone, but you see people open the fridge and just pick up the closest bottle.
They really aren't that good at lucky dip and as most people have descended to writing their initials on top, its pretty obvious that these people are thieving.
You also often hear people cursing when they find that the milk they bought just that morning to last three days has been drained in a hour (as they got in early).
The company will only supply fridges, a dishwasher, boiling water and loads of small mugs - but not milk itself - so there is no reprieve from that quarter. (Even then I imagine the same knobs would take it home)
Luckily I drink black coffee, but once I found some t
t was making a coffee in my larger personal mug because it was bigger that the house mugs. Even though it had my frigging name on it.Knobs all of them.

Sorry ,It's not 'merging', it is pushing in. See many previous posts concerning this oft annoying habit, all agreeing that it is wrong. Why do you think all your fellow motorists were in the left hand lane? APIS
So, on your planet what is the intended use of the other lane?No merging in turn. No Speeding. No middle lane hoggers. No Chav plates. No bad parking. No....
Absolute bliss.
