Aldi is the most physically challenging part of my week. When I can no longer meet the standard that will be my sign to go and I will simply starve to death. The system works

I am deeply ashamed that my nation has brought the plague of discount supermarkets to the world and I wholeheartedly apologise.

No need for an apology. The hardship is what I deserve for being poor enough to shop at discount supermarkets

Well yeah, you had to give it back to us while you were part of the EU Empire. We really hate the NHS, you know.

Without the EU we are finding we have no one to blame for our troubles but ourselves which is becoming awkward.

I don’t suppose you feel like doing some crop picking for minimum wage?
 
No can do mate, we're in trouble ourselves because this season we won't have any Ukrainian asparagus pickers.
 
I only have these issues at Lidl because cashiers operate at light speed there. So I line up the articles in order of easiest packing and right in the middle I put some fruit/vegetables/bagels that need to be measured to slow them down and give me time to pack everything. @Perun: what's a packing table?
 
There’s been a massive shift towards self-checkout systems in recent years. Stores that used to have over a dozen cashiers working at a time now have two, the rest is covered by self-checkout. Perfect solution for people who want to avoid human contact. The only occasions I don’t go the self-checkout route is when the store requires a certain client card or when I want to say “hello” to the cashier.

While I’m here, my third world problem of the day is the annoyingly high volume of commercials on youtube, so I have to lower my volume between each song and bring it up again. But considering what’s going on in the world, it’s really pathetic to complain about.

Just had a woman in front of me at the cashier who somehow managed to unite every annoying trait a customer can have.

There is another - line cutters.
I'm currently researching Italian libraries because I've heard a rumour that Dante actually wrote a 10th circle of hell where he put line cutters, ticket scalpers and people who park their vehicles wherever the fuck they want.
 
I hate self-checkout systems with a passion and I try to avoid them at all costs. I only go willingly go to a self-checkout system if I'm buying just one thing (which almost never happens) or if I'm buying condoms.

Otherwise it's slow because I'm not a cashier and it takes me ages to scan everything and usually the system starts screaming at you if you put your own bag on the scales. And if I'm buying alcohol, I have to wait for a cashier to come and scan her card to let me scan alcohol.

Also, DEY TUK AR JERBS!!!!!!
 
It sucks when I buy a coupla cold ones and it beeps for the employee to check my age and they really do while I am 31. In other cases it has been a blessing.
 
I just realised that one thing I truly hate is people randomly contacting me on WhatsApp without saying who they are leaving me to search the call register to compare phone numbers. I think I really, really hate this.
 
Getting random nosebleeds can be really annoying. Today I had my 3rd one within the last 7 days or so.

They always seem to come in bunches for me. I'll go like a year without having any, then go through a 1-2 week period where I have a shit ton of them, then go another year+ without having a single one.
