chevre · 12/07/2007 14:45

absolutely and they should let packs of dogs wander between the aisles unhampered by leases and annoying children

i sometimes are doubly guilty.

i go to the supermarket with dd and have inane chats with the old folk in the middle of aisle or sometimes (gasp) at teh checkout. i reckon i sometimes hold up the 'young' people by about 30 secs as they tut their way past.

RedLorryYellowLorry · 12/07/2007 15:08

I think children should be allowed into the shop but husbands should be left in the car or tied to the rails outside. They get in the way and make the place look cluttered with their loitering in the centre of the aisles. They also get irritable in the queue and start whinging. Best left at home really.
