Although:
People in the way: A firm 'excuse me' works 99% of the time

Eating stuff on the way around: Is actually theft and one day they'l get caught

Folowing the price-reducer person: Is most prolific in Asda. I'll not push my way into a crowd to get some nasty looking salad. However, if something's yellow-ticketed and nobody's crowding around, I'll jump in quick. Especially meat. I once got enough meat to half-fill the deep-freeze. It doesn't seem to happen in Tesco. Different class of people I suppose.

Trolley etiquette: Those that doen't even leave the trolley at one side of the aisle but leave it at an angle in the way and then wander off. And don't get me started on people who bump into friends and block the aisle completely.

OK.
So they leave it in the middle of the bloody isle and then go stare at fancy packaging.

I come along and move their cart to a position more beneficial to the supermarket as a whole...then what's this? They're shouting at me? I have to point out that, no, the items in the cart don't belong to them because they haven't purchased them yet. And if they don't want people to touch their carts, they should't leave them in such a stupid bloody place.

(I once did this to a woman in Waitrose on Holloway Road. She tried to get me kicked out for being 'drunk'. For once, I wasn't.)

One of our security guards is really hot on that theft-by-consumption bit.
He can move the security cameras and follows people round who are eating, and if he manages to find them personally, he'll ask if they're planning to pay for it. It makes me giggle seeing their faces.

Open packets? Alright fine, if there's a baby wailing and it wants a Rusk biscuit, fucking give the baby a biscuit. Whole chocolate bars missing and nary a barcode on an empty pack does my nut.
