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
And checkout people, please don't talk to me. Please. I don't really care when you knock off. Don't make inane comments such as "Ah. You've got a baby then?" when I am buying nappies and SMA - I will always look confused and reply in the negative. Don't feel obliged to ask questions about said baby if I have him with me - let's just get through this.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

It's not just the checkout - it's the whole shopping experience for me. Horrific. And I'm not even a man!
Online shopping all the way for me. The only good time I've found to go to the supermarket is when England are playing in the world cup. Place is empty - fantastic. The rest of my life I'm happy to pay a few quid to not have to join everyone in bumper carts and listen to screaming kids.Loopy LooComment

First pick a checkout that is in use so you can get all your stuff on before the person in front has finished. Then put your shopping on the conveyor in easy to pack modules. Put all loose items at the back as these will give you extra time as the assistant has to look them up. Also to get round EOs problem as the assistant to help you open a few bags before you start.

My cards live in a wallet that lives in my top jacket pocket and can be withdrawn and be ready for use in about one second.Comment
