1. Parent and child parking, which appears to take up more and more of the car park every time I visit. This is the most obvious case of positive discrimination I have ever come across.
2. The illogical location of chilled items near the entrance, which means that everything capable of generating e coli gradually gets warmer as you peruse the tinned items, household products and booze section.
3. Trolley wobble. We can put man on the moon but...
4. The need to carry a pound coin with you at all times.
5. Shelf stackers who think they have right of way to cut in front of your trolley, blocking access to the one item you need.
6. Stacking items with a sell by date of tomorrow near the front of the fridge and items with a longer shelf life towards the back. We were not born yesterday.
7. Security tags on gin and champagne but not on a 1974 bottle of bordeaux. Query am I being discriminated against again?
8. The seasonal section which appears to sell barbecue fuel in the winter and christmas lights in August.
9. Automated check outs. I have never managed an entire transaction without needing to call over the disinterested "assistant" whose job it appears to be to stand still and stare into the middle distance.
10. Checkouts manned by individuals competing for the olympic gold in scanning your purchases, leaving you breaking out in a sweat trying to bag everything before you are asked for your club card.
11. Assistant bag packers who pack 12 kilos worth of purchases in one bag and one cornflake in the other.
12. The guilt of having to ask for a plastic bag.
