    Re: Checkout Etiquette

    Haha! Yeah rude and weird! What is wrong with people these days!?

    A few days ago I had just started to load up my groceries on the conveyor belt when this woman lined up behind me. But she started to put her things up on the belt also and I had a full trolley of groceries that I had just started on! Theres no way we would both fit our groceries on. So it got to the end of my stuff and I had no room left because she had taken up all the space WTF??? Sooo rude!
    Omg I had that too recently Tasha! Except she also had alot of groceries! I got to the end of the room I had, and she refused to move her stuff, (she was watching so very well knew I needed more room) so after waiting for a couple seconds to see what she would do, I used that separator thing and pushed all her shopping back and moved my trolley back so I could keep loading (they didnt start scanning until it was all loaded) and gave her the biggest filthy look.
    Seriously... she had a trolley too, can't yiu freaking WAIT to put your stuff on too?! Not hard!!

    Must be the week for rude shoppers. Wednesday night we were at the shops and a checkout opened just as we arrived. We pulled our trolley up and a lady with a basket pushed in. Which was bad enough. But the the FOUR Tweens she had with her had gone off with baskets of their own and just cut in as well as they arrived. They are lucky dh was at that end of the trolly. I wouldnt have bitten my tongue had I not had dd right there with me...

    Don't get me started about trolleys - in my small supermarket, if you leave your trolley, it blocks the way out and the access to put your grocerys on the counter. But so many people put their stuff up, get their bags and leave the trolley and go out! It's enfuriating and rude! They also often leave their basket on the checkout once they've unloaded it and don't take it away either. I have frequently picked up peoples baskets (or pushed their trolleys) and gone past them to put them away (muttering I'll put this away shall I under my breath) while they are standing there watching and they don't seem to notice at all!
