- Why is it that whichever queue I choose, it's always the wrong one. I get the person with a duff credit card, or whose items won't scan, or who stops for a nice chat with the cashier, or who didn't buy enough to use a whole Re
tward voucher and disappears back into the store for a couple of minutes to find something else (I kid you not). - I'm entirely capable of packing my own bags. No, really. When did this go from "I'm just here to scan items." to "Can I help you pack, sir?" to "I'm going to pack whether you like it or not!"? I wouldn't mind so much if they weren't so completely hopeless at it - large multipacks of fruit juce which have their own carrying handles go into bags regardless, often accompanied by a couple of heavy bottles - while the few remaining (light) items half-fill a second bag.
