If shopping for a friend or relative. Or your OH who doesn't do the shopping, please be more descriptive with your shopping lists!
As in Aldi today, I kept on being near to 3 different people who kept ringing whoever asking what do you mean by chicken? What size milk do you want?
Chicken - whole, portions or cooked for salads/sandwiches? Milk - size, type and fresh or UHT?
Everyone has their own way of writing shopping lists but only them can decipher it. Perhaps their OH if they actually know the workings of their partner's list writing.
Due to them standing right in front of the shelves, it made it difficult for other shoppers to just grab something they know what to do buy.
