Re: supermarkets
Customers who stand blethering in the middle of aisles.Display stands in the middle of aisles
Customers who take ages to pack, then are surprized to find that they have to pay, then take more ages to find their money.
Checkout operators who wait until the aforesaid customers finally manage to pack everything, put their purse / wallet away, get their butt in gear and moving, before they start putting my stuff through.
(I find Lidl & Aldi have the fastest checkout people)
The new layout in Tescos - can't find a thing anymore. Went looking for red lentils - eventually found them in 3 different places at 3 different prices.

Re: supermarkets
We can take a while to pack if we haven't used self scan, but you will have to forgive us we have to balance the bags for the trek across the car park when we get home and up stairs when we get here. Anything not balanced well causes either back pain or mental pain as we realise we are not going to make it !

Re: supermarkets
All the things I find irritating about shopping have already been mentioned - if they put those advertising stands in an aisle that makes it difficult to get past, just move it out of the way, I do! As for the top shelf, I'm usually the one being asked 'would you mind getting XYZ down for me' and I do as I'm 5ft 6" so can reach most high shelves.I detest shopping and always have but husband always loved it!

Also, why do supermarkets have to keep changing the aisles around? Just when you think you can zip in and out quickly, everything you wanted has disappeared, and again, assistants are few and far between or else they say "I'm with another customer at the moment" - and you never see them again!

Oh, I forgot the most important irritant: music, or muzak. Oh God, I especially hate it before Christmas when you get the same CD played all the time. There is just no escape from it.#Simply...having...a wonderful Christmas time.#
#So here it is, merry Christmas, everybody's having fuuuuun#
Argghhhh!!!!!

What about those patrons that use the the trolleys as Zimmer Frames though?!
Don't they just get on 'yer wick?!!
I hate those customers that just stand there as the goods go through the scanner, just looking at the pile building up then, as the check-out gets to the last item, start packing, because they are also the ones that tend to have the money-off vouchers or a duff card to pay for it all! stevmk2
