It’s a global phenomenon.

Is it just me or every time I go to the supermarket and try to get to a shelf there is some one stocking up or a pile of pallets in the way.

You could just… say “excuse me” and grab the item?

Its like you were watching me 30 minutes ago.

I nearly slapped a pensioner out of the way as she spent near enough 60 seconds reading the front.. THE FRONT... of boxed fajita kit.

I wouldn't have minded but it was the 'cool' flavour she had. C'mon Agnes, thats just admitting defeat.

Things you decide you don't need because they never move. 30%

A mazing movie

Why is it that people spread themselves out so much alongside the shelves? Trolley at arms length on one side, bags or phone extended to the other side like they are guarding a stash of food from you while they choose what they want for, say, dessert...

Apparently it takes both a husband and wife to carefully inspect each apple they're considering buying, their trolley blocking access to much of the fresh fruit for the duration.

The best bit is when two Very British people each need something from the shelf the other one is pretending to look at.

Absolutely astonishing how much time I watched a man take looking through ground beef yesterday like it was steak and he was trying to get the best cut

I'm 6ft 3ins tall and apparently an essentail 'assistant' in supermarkets because I can see and reach 'things on the top shelves'. Glad to help about half a dozen folk today.

You haven't been to our local Tesco - the manager seem to take great delight in moving things into different locations on a regular basis. The nuts were moved some months ago and I still haven't found them!

😂🤣 this made me literally laugh out loud. I totally relate to this. The amount of cursing under my breath I do is directly proportional to the number of things they move around at our local store.
