Lightspeed Shopping

I’m really starting to hate my local supermarket. Everytime I shop there, I feel like they’re rushing me out he door as fast as possible.

The problem is when I’m packing my goods at the till. The assistant keeps scanning my purchases faster and faster, and there’s not a whole lot of room at my end of the conveyor belt. I have to ram items into bags as fast as I can just to keep up. It doesn’t help that the bag dispenser is a pain to use and always gets tangled up. And there’s always another customer behind me, because even though the place has the usual 7-8 tills you’d expect from a shop that size, there’s never more than three actually being used at any one time.

The solution is so obvious; to remove the 8 tills they have, put in four larger tills, with a bigger packing space at the end so shoppers don’t feel rushed into getting their stuff packed up and in bags.

Believe me, if there was anywhere else nearby that I could get my entire week’s shop done, I’d be there. And the reason I don’t go to a few shops to get my stuff?

Well the fact is, I’m a lazy lazy man…
