It is the invisible Big Boys who make these stupid rules about how a store should be run with no regard for the customer. Sexist as it may be (blame my age) but Supermarket layouts are designed by Men who NEVER do the shopping! I have spent half my lifes shopping time handing down items from the top shelves to people 5ft and less. Nelly my gripe was not with the assistant, it was with the system, and I told her so.

You are a Customer and remember 'The Customer is always right!' Ireland, ALL of it is full of whingers who love to wallow in moans instead of taking their complaints to those who can do something about it. Steph let them groan away.

Grannymar I'm fully behind you in your crusade. The customer simply doesn't exist any more. I have a real bee in my bonnet about special offers. "Buy one, get second half price" This of course makes people buy more than they wanted and because everyone is in such a hurry these days, they don't check their receipts. I always look at mine before I leave a check-out and more often than not, I find that "the system" hasn't been adjusted to make a reduction. I stand my ground until the point is proved and a refund is given. My other half says that the shop managers probably groan when they see me coming into their shop! Well done! Grannymar
