Shops and SupermarketsI used to work in a supermarket where the girl on the deli counter cut off the top of her finger in the meat slicer, but was made to finish her shift before going to hospital. You can now pay £100 to shoot zombies in the store's empty shell, haunted by poor dead nine-finger deli girl. Tell us your tales of the old retail experience, from either side of the counter

^^^this x 1000plus they fail to understand the difference between shopping and buying.
Buying is knowing what you want, then going and getting it and coming home.
Shopping is wandering round in ever decreasing circles until you disappear up your own arsehole, and never actually buying anything.

Hot sauce
Snacks (or you'll end up with those shitty crisps made from assorted non-potato tubers)
Anything remotely toxic

very much this^especially the hot sauce.
i've found that if the wife asks you to do the grocery shopping, spending £25 on hot sauces will almost guarantee you won't be asked again

Expanding on the themeWe don't care what clothes you buy and we certainly don't want to spend an hour watching you try them on. (Except bikini's maybe.)
We don't give a shit about curtains either.
And we both know the only reason you insist on dragging me around Next is because otherwise I might be off enjoying myself and the thought terrifies you.

'And we both know the only only reason you insist on dragging me around Next is because otherwise I might be off enjoying myself and the thought terrifies you'.^^^^This^^^^. I love my G/F dearly but she does love to shop. I bought my outfit for a wedding we were going to in 2 shops over a period of 45 minutes - shoes included. She bought hers over a period of 5 weekends (and 3 towns!) and STILL didn't like the shoes!
