Supermarket grannies
There is a certain kind of shopper who feels compelled to hold a full conversation with the checkout girl, waits until every single item is scanned through before packing anything, disputes at least one item, and fiddles around in their purses to produce exact change in the smallest denominations possible. Yes I'm talking about old ladies.

And they always manage to be in front of me when I'm buying a few items, soaking up precious minutes of my lunchtime.

Yes I know you're lonely / senile / unappreciative-of-the-point-of-sale-model but I still wish you would die you doddering cacky fingered old witches.

oh this ^^^
there should be a rule that those not in work are banned from shopping between 12 and 2 on weekdays, so that people who only get a few minutes for lunch aren't delayed.
The rest of the day is anyone's. Why go shopping when surely you know it'll be busy anyway, if you don't have to?

If only there were a way to avoid this sort of person...
Like eyes, or preparation so you don't have to buy smokes at that time.


Why not preempt their desperate attempt to break their increasing loneliness and talk to them in the queue... Placing your items with theirs and getting them to pay for your shit. You can always help them with their shopping before either mugging them or simply blaming their senile ways when you wander off with their stuff. Probably still nicer than tutting impatiently.

Stealing from old people!
Why didn't I think of this!?
