My gripe :- Asda

WTF do they never have enough staff to man all the tills.

Tannoy :- All queue busters to the tills, then all managers and section leaders to the tills, great think I they will all be manned when I get there. No, only half a dozen.

Wait for 3 before me and start loading my stuff on the self service as the tills are all rammed with people with full trolleys etc. When they guy putting his stuff through suddenly wants to change something. Then he starts querying a price. Feck it I need to be back at work so leave my stuff on the till conveyor and walk out.

Gave the wife her list back when I got home. she can do her own shopping.

I hate Chavsda too. Short use by dates. Never any small trolleys. And they seem to employ staff that are three opposite end of the friendly and helpful scale to Waitrose.
