Slow people at the checkout

Wow，great content and your blog template is so beautiful. Is this template free or not. If so, would you please share this template? if not, how much does it cost? Thanks a lot!

Slow people at bank service tills really get me, if there are two tills together, why not make one "two minutes or less"

Snail paced TSB card holders, "the card goes in with the horses tail first", it won't go in the other way at all.

What really gets to me is when people are unreasonable and that therefore slows everyone else down. Ex, trying to return something in the checkout, arguing about prices with the 17 year old cashier who has no control over prices (LOL), etc. I however have no problem with people who want to get the correct change or a coupon out. Nor do I have a problem with someone who doesn't want to chuck their raw meat with their baby formula just so the impatient people behind him can get home faster. People are so impatient these days; everyone thinks their time is more valuable the anybody else's. When people start to huff or puff because I accidently dropped a penny or something like that, oh baby trust me, I might just purposely drop the entire contents of coin purse.
Basically, being reasonable never hurts.

Lol I work on the checkouts as it goes, and can understand all
of this perfectly. From the middle aged dawdler who packs 1 item per minute before searching for half an hour for her purse with the £20 in small
change and £200 in expired vouchers (a real customer, sadly...) to the person who tuts and huffs when they have to wait for more than 20 seconds in a queue... I've seen them all. It's a good job Asda don't stock guns like WalMart do in the US...

If you think you've got it bad being stuck behind them in a queue, imagine serving countless such people in a single day. Moral of the story: If you think you need sympathy, imagine what the checkout operator is going through!

I am always mildly amused by people who are apparently surprised that they have to pay. They get their shopping scanned, they get ii into the trolley, then they have the dive into the bottomless pit that is their bag looking for a purse or wallet.

I've just watched this and had the biggest belly ache laugh in ages. It was worth being annoyed earlier just to see it.

The words 'silver lining' and 'cloud' spring to mind

I agree. I seem to have a peculiar knack of choosing the slowest queue even when there are more people in front in other aisles. This evening I asked a checkout girl what the hold up was. No answer. Tut...tut..sympathetic look to the checkout girl.from the lady finishing her bags. When she finally did go, and it was my turn. The checkout girl still didn't explain, apologise for my wait and proceeded to scan my goods with even less speed than before.

If I'm in a hurry and there is an OAP holding up the whole world, I usually creep up behind them and give them a short, sharp shock with a carefully concealed cattle-prod. It makes them boogie a little bit but the looks on their faces are hysterical. Especially when their eyes bug out and the false teeth shoot out!

Good on you Richoldie ! You hold up the youngsters as much as you want !

It would be a pleasure to be held up behind you mate !

You cannot believe the amount of pleasure we get as an OAP's when
we're at the front of a long queue in a supermarket. Everybody's eyes rolling, the snide remarks that they think we cann't hear, but us old folk are pissing you all about. We've got all the time (thats left us) in the world. So heres the trick, if you see an oldie in the queue, don't join it.

The best way to make sure the cashier doesn't put through the next person's shopping whilst you're still bagging it, is don't pay until you have bagged EVERYTHING - I do it and beleive you me, they soon get fed up and start to help you pack

Why does a whole family feel the need to be in the checkout queue at the supermarket?

The only person waiting in the checkout line should be the person paying for the goods, everyone else in the family should wait in front of the store until its time to come pack the items…especially if the shop is crowded.
