Really minor annoyances

Self scan checkout staff in supermarkets. How about you pay attention and actually do some work instead of standing around doing nothing/chatting.

Same annoyance for a slightly different reason

Supermarket self scan checkouts where there's 25 of them, and one poor lass flying around all over, as every one seemingly has an "unexpected item in the bagging area".

My local one is shocking for this.

Different issue at my local. Only about 14 scanners and about 5 staff looking after them but way to busy talking to notice

You occasionally get a cheery person, but they generally seem huffed that they have to do something apart from standing doing fuck all.

Got a pal who did this for a spell and genuinely quit because it bored him to death and preferred actually grafting for a living.

When you do your shopping and notice the staff, it's probably 10% of them doing 80% of the work

I sometimes openly laugh out loud when I see the pace of someone stacking a shelf. Literally like one item a minute. Slooooooo

People who pack into bags rather than the trolly at Lidl. Dont mind the odd one that fires it in at warp speed, its the ones that use one hand cos theyve got their handbag over the other or those that meticulously pack the bags by content type and spend ages trying every bottle for shape like its the world tetras championship . Saves them time at home but costs the 5 behind in the queue. Pure selfish ignorance.
 
I was sat on the train last week opposite some old wifey who had the tones still turned on her phone so that every time she pressed a key it beeped. And her phone was so old that it was one where you had to press three times to get a ‘c’…took her about half an hour to write a text.

There was a south african lass who used to command the self service tills with a rod of iron, at the Tesco near where I lived a few years back and she was permanently SO unhappy and snappy with folk. I was in there once with a colleague who had an "unexpected item in bagging area" problem and she was huffing and spluttering and moaning away at him till he said in a very calm voice, with a slight smile on his face..."happy in your work..?" Deflated her ire immediately, that. Meanwhile I silently pissed meself.
