This is a question Irrational Hatred

People who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

Today
I don't know if this a recent thing, or I've just noticed it, but the lovely people working in my local Waitrose append every question with "today?"

"Would you like a bag today" I was asked, erm, today.

In the spirit of qotw research, rather than reply with my usual "yes", I said, "I'm only planning on being in here for a couple of minutes at the most, so yes, I suppose it will need to be today"

The lovely person working at Waitrose handed me my bag, with a smiling mouth and steely eyes that said 'I want to stab you'.

I put my card in the slot "Would you like cash back...today?" she asked. I think the head office uses ex-Nazi scientists and mind control, or something.

True
as a rule I don't behave in a shitty manner to people in the service industry. It's not thier fault some wanker thinks that saying 'today' is going to make the customer feel like they have an ongoing relationship with the organistion.
