Supermarkets are a familiar place.
You know where
everything is at your local.
Some have a route planned out.
And it's stress free if you're organised.
But not everyone
follows the rules.
You see a whole family turn up and they
still got their dressing gown and slippers on.
People have
left their trolleys in the middle of the aisle and gone
off down to the end to look for something that is a real
irritation.
What do you think about people blocking the way
for other shoppers?
I think they're rude. that's rude, eh.
But are you
guilty of this?
Yep.
Whether it's putting something you
don't want back in the wrong place or snacking your way to
the checkout, we're all a little guilty of bending the rules.
Just people walking out with the trolleys without paying for
them.
Yeah definitely don't do that.
Here's a how to guide for
grocery shopping.
Fondling your fruit and veg for the best pick?
That's allowed.
We can't stop it at the end of the day.
The
customers have a right to pick what they want but ensuring
that when they go home they just wash their fruit and
veggies.
So what about when people use their own bags to
shop.
Is that okay?
Yeah, definitely.
We just let them do
the thing.
Put the items into the bag.
And as long as they go
to the checkouts and they can just unload them onto the conveyor belt it's
fine.
Now the aisles and it seems some of you need to move
it along a little.
When people are catching up in the aisle
and just leaving their trolleys in the middle of it yeah it
does piss me off a little yeah.
I think the supermarkets need
bigger aisles for south side.
We are muscly you know.
When my kids
are pushing the trolley I'm like to the side, to the side.
My nephews and nieces they know the look.
We just like to
ask it just be mindful with customers as they're walking
around shopping.
Especially while you're shopping with your
kids.
Last night we had two of them riding around on scooters.
Like hey man don't do that!
But there's a few things that can
keep them distracted.
That's why we got the free fruit for
kids.
As they're doing the shopping the kids can have a
little munch up on the way through.
But what about when
you've changed your mind about something and you put it back
in the wrong place?
I'm guilty of this.
Wow.
Really?
Just hold
on to the product and take it up to check outs and just let
the team members know that you don't want it.
This all might
seem like common sense but you'd be surprised what people
get up to while shopping.
I've seen someone throw noodles
across an aisle because they didn't have the exact noodles
that they wanted.
Customer throwing a banana at the the
checkout operator.
Oh well it's not funny because I felt sorry
for the worker.
Uh a lady who was just looking at the jams and
she picked up a jar and took the lid off, put a finger in,
tasted it, put the lid back on and put it back on the shelf.
Uh
okay, gross.
Taste tests aren't encouraged, especially in Covid
times, but if you're desperate for a snack, pay up at the
checkout.
The checkout also comes with its own kind of
rules especially when it comes to using one of these.
Over 80% of you on TikTok told us the person in front should
leave the divider for the next customer.
But not everyone does
it.
It's good to see that the customer whose shopping is on
the conveyor places the divider up.
So what does this mean?
It
means if customers have done a small shopping and they want to
get through fast then it's preferably you've got 12 items
or less.
And what about multiple items of one thing?
So
you've got two bottles of milk.
Does that count as two or one?
That counts as two.
So it's 12 items or less, but with
exceptions, we're willing to help if it's more than that.
No
cheating.
Okay guys.
Then of course there's the old leaving
the line when you've forgotten something.
I'm so sorry mate.
I
forgot a milk again.
Can I just squeeze through?
Thanks.
My
wife's guilty with it too.
I don't really have a much of an
issue with it but be respectful and towards the customer.
Okay,
all done.
Uh no, not done.
Be respectful to the workers too
and put your trolley back.
