Do you mind waiting to be served when it's a bit busy or do you expect people to open more tills where possible and do you expect the person on the till to pack your bags for you?

why they all do not so what aldi do is beyond me
load all your stuff back in your trolley at great speed and then in your own time properly pack your bags after you have paid its such a better system |

And don't forget the checkout person is always polite and friendly. Cost nowt to say hello,good morning and how are you etc then they even say enjoy your weekend bye etc All with a smile on their face. Not like the other big 4 supermarkets staff who are a miserable bunch of sods and clearly unhappy to be working there. Aldi all the way! Last edited by Johnnyuk123; 21-12-2015 at 07:58 AM. |

I prefer to pack my own bags, although if it means the supermarket would employ more people as bag packers, then I would be happy for them to do it. It's unreasonable to expect the cashier to do it though.

..Mr Ammi would kill someone who tried to pack his bags, he has a system and is OCD about it...but no, I don't mind waiting really and chatting to the person next to me...whether they like it or not...

Even worse when they have the cadets or other bag packers,I always contribute to their buckets but never let them pack. I can get irritated in long queues but n the main,like you I chat to others or often get a smile listening to their conversations and even moreso when a couple are niggling at each other in front of me too. |

most go on self service and don't scan the real exspensive items - but I suppose if the shops are not willing to pay for staff - they have to pay with theft.

Not really a supermarket but I was waiting in a store yesterday, stood in the queue for about 5 or 10 mins then it was my turn, and you know they sit things out at the till well I picked one up and put it in my basket as I walked over then the cashier turns round and says to me none too nicely 'What do you think you are doing? you cant just waltz in to be served when there's people behind you' who do you think you are I was like

A couple of months ago I was in Asda looking for normal natural yoghurt but everything was low fat. I asked this assistant if he could help me locate what I was looking for. He was an old guy and none too happy that I'd interrupted his shelf packing. He huffed and puffed for a few minutes around the yoghurt before turning to me and saying, "If you can't find something in future, then remember this...Its probably because we DONT have it because we don't have unlimited space for stocking ridiculously FADDY stuff. I went to customer service and asked them to find it but I mentioned how this guy had spoken to me. "Ah" said the assistant, "that will be Ralf. He's 82 and has to work because he doesn't get enough state pension but he's old school and we are having great difficulty training him...Sorry about that" I left the store feeling awful that an 82 year old man had to stack shelves and worse still, I'd just guaranteed him a ticking off ![]()

Same in Spain they never greet you and ask questions in very fast Spanish to put non Spainards on the back foot, they practically throw the stuff at you as well

We spend a lot of time in Spain and I always thought they're very helpful and friendly there, maybe it depends what part you go to?

Adios

I don't expect them to pack my shopping. I have hands so I can do it myself. My mum and sister said it's the laziest thing they have to do for people.
The only people they have no problem packing for is elderly people. |

Anyone who hates our supermarkets should try the French ones. You will pay twice as much for the same good, your trolley will be half the size, you will never find an assistant on the shop floor and you will normally only find one or two cash desks open, regardless of how long the queues are. The assistant won't look at you or speak and will start serving the next customer before you have managed to get your stuff in bags. Oh and the bags are like nappy sacks and cost the equivalent of 10p each.
Ours supermarkets are heaven in comparison.

When they pack your bags they shove all your shopping in the same bag

I've learnt to be patient since I started work in a similar sort of area where customers are involved.
