I know its tuesday but ffs!!

Posted by at
Fridays FFS is going to be a marathon effort  all to be explained and whinged about then but I could not let another day go past without having some kind of whine and by whine I do not mean wine as I now go straight for the hard stuff!!

SUPERMARKETS                                                                                                                                           
  • First of all last tuesday morning I saw crates of mince pies at woolies, i wish i had taken a photo of the offending pastries.  ITS NOT EVEN AUGUST WHY ARE THERE MINCE PIES OUT ALREADY??????????????  In case the capital letters are not enough of a give away I get severely irritated by Christmas.
  • Stop moving stuff around.  My idea of a good time is not trawling the store looking for something that was there last week and has now moved.
  • If you want me to use the self service check out I want a discount as everytime I have ever used a self service it has been an epic fail.
  • Enough with the email activating of rewards.  Make it automatic please.
  • Ask a woman/mother before building your next stores. Below are some free helpful hints as it is obvious men design these buildings.
  1. Put a toilet in the store.
  2. Have a service where people can ring up and order a few things and pick it up without having to get out of the car.
  3. Have a couple of car spots for people who are just running in.
  4. Banish all toys and lollies or anything with a character to an adults only section of the shop.  Give us a break we are still going to buy it just not in front of the kids.  Think of the tantrum saver that would be. 
  5. Instead of free samples of food why not free alcohol? 
This applies to all supermarkets I am not a supermaketist and yes spell check I did make that word up!!  I am sure there is more and I will add any I have forgotten!!

Thanks again for the link up Jess!!

    heheh i agreee with most of those... except the just running in car park... that would never work.. people park whereever they want as its not 'illegal' unless u park in a disabled spot.

    its like when u see a 17 yr old guy get out of his 2 seat FIAT in a mother and prams spot. that really should have been urs...

      I told confronted for parking in a parents spot when they didn't have kids the other day. I was met with a very rude response!

      Thanks guys!! i have never parked in a pram spot as no matter what time I get to the shops they are always the first ones taken and most of the time by people who do not have a car seat or booster!! I like to believe karma will get these people!!

    I think there should be drive in chemists. Nothing worse than being sick and having to go into a major shopping centre, especially if it's with sick kids. Imagine leaving the doctors with your prescription faxed through so you could just pick it up?
    That would be awesome!
