COVENTRY MESSAGE BOARD

There are so many of these I've decided to make a game out of it starting with:

People who start putting their shopping on the conveyor belt before I've finished unloading my own trolley and leave me no room. If I had finished I would have placed a "next customer please" marker behind it wouldn't I?

Agree Dutchy - even worse when they actually shove your stuff along to make room for theirs - I always push it back


People who walk round talking on their mobile phones telling someone on the other end 'I'm in Tescos' or whatever and discussing the price of one thing or another - is anyone even on the other end
They stand in the aisle oblivious to anyone else

People who've long finished loading their shopping onto the conveyor but simply couldn't be arsed to place the "next customer please" marker behind them so I have to reach right across them to place it myself

People who do a huge shop - take forever packing it - then get a load of money-off coupons out - some of which are out of date

My hate is the stores that block the isles with these great big cages so that nobody can get past. Tesco at the Arena are particularly bad for this.

That is annoying Rebbonk - and I think Tescos are the worst offenders!

Items which scan with a different price to what is advertised - you then have to go to customer service for a refund.
Tescos used to give you a full refund so you got the item for nothing but they seem to have stopped this practice now

and also shelf stackers who seem to think its my job to stay out of their way!

Not in the supermarket - but people who use disabled bays who don't have a blue badge - or they use them to sit and wait for their OH's while they shop

Those awfully nice people who just leave their empty trolley's everywhere.

and....

The equally stupid brigade that hang around waiting for a trolley when there's one a few feet away if they only looked.

The abandoned trolleys are annoying - it's not a problem where you have to use a £1 coin.

People who park right outside the entrance even tho there's double yellow lines - and no-one asks them to move. Lazy
