...after car alarms, annoying ring tones and traffic lights with escorts it would appear that there is a new menace stalking the landscape.
Just the utterance of these few words I am sure will have the red mist descending on the good people of CUK so, brace yourselves, for I'm going to say it;
UNEXPECTED ITEM IN BAGGING AREA
I have just spent 20 minutes in Tesco and was subjected to this irksome advisory on no less than 4 occasions and each one of these occasions requiring the involvement of a member of staff. I'd have been better off joining the regular queue despite the fact there were 50 people in it! I can only be thankful that I don't indulge in the consumption of alcoholic beverages otherwise I'd have had to have waited for yet another intervention.
While I'm on the subject, I was further delayed when one of my carrier bags disintegrated. Why oh why can't they MAKE THE BAGS A LITTLE THICKER? I'm as green as the next man and would normally use my own bags but this was a spur of the moment trip. I actually used to like that thick paper shopping bags furnished by Safeway a few years Bach. They were strong and , most importantly, biodegradable. I seem to recall they also had a system involving cardboard boxes at one time which worked well.
Anyway, I digress, anyone else find these self service checkout becoming the bane if their lives? It any other of life's little irritations you'd like to share?
