Aarghh!! Sainsbury's - a rant.

[Tricky]

[rant]
Popped in to Sainsbury's tonight to get a few things and it was sheer chaos - packed with people shopping for Christmas. What a nightmare, is noboby aware of what's going on around them? I lost count of the number of people who pushed their trolley across me, stopped dead in front of me, blocked the aisle while perusing the shelves or blocked my access to stuff I wanted to buy.

The worst thing is, I was only getting some stuff for tonight and I'll probably have to go again tomorrow or Friday!!

Fell much better now.

Hmmm, I've just had that experience in Tesco. I won't start on my rant, as I fear I'll never stop

Why didn't you get it all tonight then I went to tesco's just because I had forgotten something and I needed petrol, actually wasn't that busy.

Stage 1 of Trifle is now started, sherry soaking sponge. Stage 2 tomorrow and then that's it until friday.

Everyone at work got a little pressie from our HR dept today, mine was a small book about staying calm, god knows what they are trying to tell me.

Hmmmm.... had the same problem tonight... except people randomly walking out into middle of the road... one woman with a pushchair just went straight infront of the car didn't even bother to look... luckily accident was avoided

Is it just me or do pedestrians just become complete lemmings at Christmas??

We went online last week and placed a £230 order, all items successfully delivered this morning, no substitutes.

Our store is Baldock and their staff have just won the home delivery award. The staff are well chuffed and rightly so.

Dude, this is the main reason to get married so you can let 'da bitch' do the shopping.

Well actually it's the second reason the first is....

To do the cooking.



Only problemo is that after all the shopping and cooking she's says she's too tired for nookie. Bummer and they're the ones who are supposed to be able to multi-task.

Hmm, online shopping might be the way to go. Luckily I won't need too much as the GF and I will be visiting family for Christmas/Boxing Day.

From a mathematical point of view, this whole christmas supermarket madness thing is wrong - say the average household is 4.2 people, and the average christmas gathering consists of 6 people, and the population of the country is P.

Then if follows that on any normal day, the number of households preparing meals is P/4.2, whereas at Christmas the number of households preparing christmas dinner will be P/6 which is less than P/4.2, with a proportionate reduction in the number of people buying food, thus the food shops should in fact be emptier than they are for the rest of the year!!!

So logically all those other people in Sainso's don't exist, and you are therefore perfectly entitled to push their trolleys out of the way, barge in front of them and generally treat them as you see fit. Proceed!
