Yes - that's a nightmare! Only tried it once. What would be good would be a 'minimise bag use' option. So little things go in bags, big things don't.Originally posted by Zippy View PostThe Tesco home delivery without carrier bags is similar ...Comment

The bags last until they get inside the front door then spontaneously disintegrate, must be the way I handle them.Originally posted by NickFitz View PostIs there a home delivery option where they thrust a load of bags at you and then start tossing each item through the front door as you feverishly try to pack them?
It would be much more like the supermarket experience...
On the few occasions I visit the supermarket I sometimes manage to remember to bring some of the hard wearing permanent bags they sell. Only got about twenty of them now and they're usually full of anything but shopping or in the car where they should be.Comment

Hmm. The last shop had a bag of cat litter in a carrier bag and stuff like a bulb of garlic, a sachet of chilli mix and a couple of toothbrushes loose. I think the shopper was having a bit of a 'I hate the world' dayOriginally posted by k2p2 View PostYes - that's a nightmare! Only tried it once.

Top tip:Originally posted by MaryPoppins View Post
I am obsessed with beating the checkout girl and packing quicker than she can scan. Never manage it.
Pick a checkout boy next time as they're always slower, be warned the older they are the creepier the small talk.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Pogle, I am very serious about supermarket etiquette! I can't understand these folks with this cavalier attitude towards loading the belt. Bread first, are you mental? I always itch to reload it for them.Originally posted by Pogle View PostTHis thread has had me in fits!

Don't even start me on the ones who can't put the "Next Customer" divider down. Yes, I am going to put my shopping right on top of yours.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

FFS people, bottles should be laid down and orientated with the movement of the belt. If possible seperate them with a soft item to avoid clinking. Dont get me started on self service checkies
