JawD 99 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Why is it when they ask the question "Do you need a hand with your packing" and you say "no thanks", do they somehow hear "No thanks, oh and while you're on will you scan my items at 100mph please". I've started aiming for the retard looking ones so they go a bit slower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46231 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Yeah, I've mentioned before that there used to be a lad with one arm that worked on one of the checkouts at the Tesco in North Shields. I used to seek him out because his scanning speed was pretty much on a par with my bag-packing speed. A match made in heaven tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay 10 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 You could always ask them to not go to fast and see what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 What pisses me off is the self-checkout thingies. Fuckers take twice as long, and they have about 2 people helping the mongs who don't realise vigorously waving the packaging in front of the scanner doesn't work. That's 2 extra tills they could have ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46231 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Standing behind people at the self-checkout tills provides some pretty damning evidence of the general IQ levels of people in this country. You'd think some of them were stood in front of the control panel at NASA's Mission Control the way they go on - stood mouths agape staring at a screen which at any one time has a maximum of six options on it. I feel like pushing them out of the way and going "LOOK! "FINISH AND PAY"! THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT YOU FUCKING CRIPPLE!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed the Chinese are particularly inept with the self-checkout till too. This wanker a couple of weeks ago was trying to scan individual apples with no barcodes on them. Me and the Tesco lass who had to come and help him were both just stood shaking our heads in utter disbelief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 175 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 It does my head in when you get stuck behind a pensioner who insists on paying in cash and counts out the exact amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusoda Kid 1 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 SMO was in Tesco the other week and after buying 1 tin of beans, 1 tin of spaghetti, 1 apple and 1 pint of milk the lass on the till asked him 'are you single?' he replied smugly thinking he's pulled 'why because I'm buying one of each item?' She said: 'No because you're fucking ugly, now pack your bag and fuck off' what a pric that lad is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 99 Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 Also, bugs me when the person in front stands in the queue and doesnt get their money / wallet / purse out until the cashier asks for it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawD 99 Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 Thats bugs me. Esp in the metro centre when I want to get in and out asap. Usually stand there pondering the questions. Often feel like asking if they want a hand. "hmm, £10..... £20 ...... £30 ....how much have I got ................................................................................................................................... £547.56 .... So, hmmm.... do I want a recipt? <asks girlfriend>" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawD 99 Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 Aye, tried Tesco and Asda. Canny for most things except fruit and veg which they seem to bounce all over before it gets to you. Oh, and if they have ran out of say brown sauce, they will give you a jar of jam instead.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
