My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.
What stuff do you think is common?

Once again, I offer you - Associated DairiesI dare say that the behaviour I am about to outline here happens in other supermarkets, but I see it every time I find myself in Leyton ASDA.
In times past, people used to walk around the shop, collecting their groceries. Then, they would queue patiently, pay the lady or gentleman at the till, load the car, and go home.
It would be at this point that they would open their crisps/chocolates/scotch eggs/other ghastly snacks and start stuffing their faces.
It really grates me to see people meandering through the aisles, fists stuffed deep in to a packet of walkers. Is it impossible to wait until you've left the shop? Must you eat right then?
I'll leave it there, I think. /rant over.

common shoppersas a former asda employee it would grate to see people walking around 'trying before they buy', more common still is when they finish and stuff the empty packet behind one of the displays, thinking you will not notice.
not only is this common, it is common stealing.
Also common is come the end of the day when the fresh food is reduced to rediculously low prices, some chav comes up and asks to you reduce it further, implying that 9p is a rip off!!
