to think that supermarket etiquette works like this

[franklymydear]

in a busy supermarket like Sainsburys on a saturday, you finish shopping and join a horribly long queue.

Suddenly you remember something which happens to be in the next aisle along, so you leave your trolley in the queue and dash to get said item.

When you come back you expect your trolley to be in the same place and not to have been moved to the side and an old bloke with a basket in front of you starting to unload his basket.

Shopping etiquette says you wait your turn right even if the owner of the trolley in front is not there for a couple of minutes.

Jesus. Shop online if the real world makes you so uptight.

It's a shopping line. Let it go.

You say that he moved your trolley without asking, but you weren't there to be asked. However, if I'd only put one item on the belt when you returned and we had about the same amount of stuff, I'd have removed it and apologised.

Oh I'm very zen and my karma is impeccable

I am also pre-menstrual so I am amazed at my restraint too

more karma points I think

"also DO NOT put your tesco clubcard in the 'next customer' thingy - thats twattish - just pop it over when finished."

lolol. It is, isn't it? ONly kids do that

The more indignantly you protest the more unreasonable you seem

cutlass I am liking the cut of your gib but do not understand the tesco refernece

oh and I have ocado delivering tomorrow but needed sainsbury's rice, chocolate and hamster food

you're starting to sound a bit poncey now, frankly. Watch it or the tide will go against you

also DO NOT put your tesco clubcard in the 'next customer' thingy - thats twattish - just pop it over when finished."

Do people actually do that? Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

I'm protesting indignantly? really? What, by reiterating the same points over and over for the people who appear a little challenged in teh reading comprehension department?

Well if you had only 3 items to get YWBU to need a trolley (unless large hamster) AND even if premenstrual to forget one item.

Aaaah now we have it

PMT

I sympathise and empathize

I really haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate when someone stands behind and whistles tunes from west end musicals in queues.

Cornsilk, french bead is excellent for giving ssomeone a good old poke, isn't it?

I am getting a bit poncey aren't I - apologies I shall pull back from the brink

I also bought mushy peas

I always get a little trolley. I don't like baskets and I cannot abide those large trolleys

gilly I got 10 bags of rice -

I didn't realise there was a minimum amoutn of food to put in a trolley - I find them easier because I have a bad back not that it's anyone's business what I choose to put my shopping in

mushy peas?

< faints>
oh lord

petit pois surely.

mushy peas, good.

But people will now question your original statement of only buying three items. If you sneaked in mushy peas, what else could there be you're not telling us about...

lololol @ 10 bags of rice.

Your trolley was fucking loaded, wasn't it

I didn't say I only got 3 items did I? I got more but I could have fitted it in a heaped basket if I'd tried I suppose

I really really fancied chips, mushy peas and an egg for some reason

I do love these little chats

You could have fitted 10 bags of rice, hamster food (how much?), mushy peas, chocolate in a basket? You;d have been toileing, let's face it.

(See how I turn against you)

hamsters are quite small - and what's toieling?

chips, eggs, mushy peas - lovely for a saturday dinner.

YOU weren't in the queue, when you came back to the queue he was.
YABU.
