Grrrrrr...Supermarkets
Discussion
I work on Pride Park, Derby, which is a rather large business park. The only local super market is a Sainsburys, and today, as per most days, i waste half of my lunch hour in the place.
Most of the working population, i imagine, take their lunch break somewhere between noon and 2pm. So why the f
k is it that every pensioner/mother with child/chavvy tt on the dole decides to do their weekly shop at the same time that i'm on my lunch break.
FFS, all i want is a pack of sarnies and a drink. In an ideal world, this would take 5 minutes. But oh no, i have to battle my way through trollies with whining babies in, squeeze past scrotes dragging their knuckles along the floor and dodge fking walking sticks and coffins on wheels.
At the tills, ques of people in shirt and ties, looking at their watch, counting down each minute of their precious hour, whilst people with all the fking time in the world are ahead of them, slowly putting their items onto the conveyor belt. (And no, i've never seen a loaf of bread or 4-pints of milk take off yet 
)
I hereby propose a ban of all over-65's from supermarkets between noon and 2pm, so that i, and most of the business world, can have their lunch hour back. All in favour?

Christ there are some self-important people on this sitek is it that every pensioner/mother with child/chavvy tt on the dole decides to do their weekly shop at the same time that i'm on my lunch break.Anyway, most supermarkets (in my experience) have the sarnie/drink/snack bit near the entrance and the fag counter nearby for you to pay at - removing the need to queue up with various annoying Joe Publics.
You should try Asda on a Sat am, crickey that is full of old people, single Moms and Chavtastics. The car park is always full of car door denters in "K" reg Transit vans with rabid Alsations on the passenger seats.
Inside, the only isles relatively clear are the healthy food sections, cleaning products and the expensive wine isle, yet the pizza, pie and beer sections are heaving.
I prefer to shop at Waitrose mainly because: you can bump a trolley and escape with a smile (not the Glasgo one), the cars on the car park are more expensive than mine and so less likely to bump my door and best of all - No Chavs!

or you can shop at Asda with friendly people who chat to you or go to Waitrose and have to dodge the snotty OAP/yummy mummys spending the hubby's money.Inside, the only isles relatively clear are the healthy food sections, cleaning products and the expensive wine isle, yet the pizza, pie and beer sections are heaving.

Nothing wrong with Asda or the people in it IMHO --
