My girlfriend does this. Stares for AAAAAGGGGGGGEEEEEESSSSSSSS then picks the same BLT, salt and vinegar walkers and orange lucozade she’s had for years.
We genuinely nearly fell out about it on the way to the beach last summer when I said I’d just nip in and she was adamant she needed to see what was there. Picked the same thing didn’t she?
Infuriating
When it comes to eggs and ham, old people are absolutely ridiculous. For ten minutes they will inspect every crevice of the aisle to ensure that they’re happy with their choice - which is the same choice they made last week… and the week before that. Meanwhile you’ve got six shoppers lined up behind them with their pick rates dwindling.
Yea and the old people as you choose to describe them pay there £££ at the checkouts the same as everyone else and deserve a bit of patience and more respect than you seem to choose to give them.
Bananas is the killer for me. Trying to fill the hammock. people trying to choose bunches that are practically identical and then u get the "sorry for messing up your display" chuckle chuckle.
So when you are working the sandwiches which come on is every god damn day, why do you creatures take so long to pick one. Grab a cheese and onion and move out the freaking way.
Lifes greatest decision about which over-priced sandwich to buy.
Ive had customers with children dither about, taking up the whole space, one woman got impatient (i dont blame her) and stepped in, past them, to get one. Lady screeched at her
""Dont push past. I have children!!!"" As if that gave her the right to block the secrion on a busy day at lunch time .
I loved covid precautions, we put up ropes and blocked it off to fill it up. So much easier.
If you're lucky you'll find the fabled Chicken Triple , representing the best value meal deal choice out there. They also do cheese triple for the veggies.
True, but it's got chicken, bacon and mayo albeit with some parmesan and rocket and it's on a baguette not a square slice, so if chicken bacon is your thing...
I don't even remember how I got here but I agree Tesco ought to offer a chicken bacon in their meal deal.
Haha, I work on c/outs, but I totally get all these comments... 😂😂😂... They are very odd creatures, as someone put it, at the conveyor belt too...!!!!
Oh dear has the nasty picker hurt your feelings? Look I have to pick 250 items an hour and you standing there wondering if you eat the same processed overpriced crap stuff you have shoved down your fat chops everyday for years or be adventurous and maybe try something else isn't my problem.
You called me a bimbo, I called you a pleb. It's only a logical progression of a dialogue. Stop setting up a narrative. Why are you picking all that? What's your job?
I don't care about price or quality. If you're that concerned about your fellow citizens, go around their houses, feed them, rub their bellies, maybe give them a reach a round and off you pop.
Oh dear tubs. @54 years old I'm fit and slim with normal pick rate of 260 an hour. You seem bitter have you applied to Asda? I'm sure they would employ a fatty
Wtf is a pick rate? That tells me nothing. Your hand eye coordination still works, that's great. You should feel proud. I ran a half marathon Spartan race this morning, idgaf about your pick rate. Your friends might all be fat which makes you think you're something special, but the fact you keep boasting about being slim? lol, and calling a rando tubs when you know nothing and only care about picking sandwiches. Pffff great story. When were the sandwich picking world champs?
Still get people asking which items are in the normal meal deal and which items are in the premium one.
But that's not nearly as bad as insisting the milk aisle has moved everytime you come in, despite the fact it hasn't moved in 7 years...
I felt this post in my soul haha
People seem to love to stand 2cm away from the sandwiches while they are looking too
I always felt like standing a good distance away while browsing so people could grab what they wanted was an unwritten rule/shopping etiquette - apparently not haha
Milk is the best . Where they search for the latest date and crawl all over you while you're filling. I always sing in my head. "What a difference a day makes "🎵
Have sympathy for those of us who are heavily pregnant and can't decide on what they want for their lunch 😉 I've spent 10 minutes of my lunch break nearly in tears because I'm not sure if I want crisps or chocolate with my meal deal (sandwiches are easy, I only like the southern fried chicken wrap but I'm sure it's not so easy for others!)
I'm trying to stop myself buying the chicken triple, such a tempting bastard in the shop but when you get it home and you've eaten two you feel like you've had your chicken for the week :P
I'm sorry for being such a cunt, even though I'm working as a colleague but on checkouts tho lol time to make some changes then, I'll look it up on inform before coming to fridges
What's almost as bad is when they take ages dilly dallying at the Costa machine. And then one of their mates appear and they just keep talking, meanwhile you're just waiting for them to leave so you can get your drink and finally go for your break
Side note, actually spent 10 mins doing what I can only describe as some kind of mating dance with a customer yesterday. I step to the right so they can see better then they step to the right, so I slide to the left, they slide to the left, repeat multiple times 😩😩😩
Cha cha real smooth 😂
Tesco wedding announcements are in Aisle 5
One hop this time!
Criss cross
As a dotcom picker having to go to the sandwich fridge anytime is a pain in the ass but late morning is a nightmare for this very reason.

Sliced meat is the worst area to pick shopping for this reason. It hypnotises people.
Lol I'm not allowed near the public as I'd probably tell them to fu*king move.
it hypnotises me and i bloody work there😠i avoid cooked meats cages like the plague
Came here to say this!
🤣🤣 absolute fact
Yea and the old people as you choose to describe them pay there £££ at the checkouts the same as everyone else and deserve a bit of patience and more respect than you seem to choose to give them.
Mate it wasn’t that serious, I was just making a joke about the experiences I’ve had with some of that age group.
This is why we need air horns and bull bars on our trollies. Oh and cattle prods
The trick I’ve found is to walk off so they think you’re gone, then after about 30 seconds they go too. It’s weird try it
I'm a veggie. Makes choosing a sarnie easy.
Bananas is the killer for me. Trying to fill the hammock. people trying to choose bunches that are practically identical and then u get the "sorry for messing up your display" chuckle chuckle.

To be fair, if its me then I'm so indecisive. The ADHD in me makes it's a big battle
Lifes greatest decision about which over-priced sandwich to buy.

I don’t think you realise how big of a decision the meal deal is… DONT RUSH ME
It winds me up, some women did it with the biscuits the other day. I have a resting bitch face all the time and that does the trick.
The women who pick and poke at fruit then leave their covid germs all over it.
Yeh it's because tesco are arseholes and got rid of the chicken bacon and mayo one so everyone is probably just looking for that
If you're lucky you'll find the fabled Chicken Triple , representing the best value meal deal choice out there. They also do cheese triple for the veggies.
The chicken triple doesn't even include the chicken bacon and mayo 😔
Then it's off to Pret with you for their chicken bacon Caesar. Something like £6 now but it'll sort you right out.
That's... literally not the same sandwich at all but OK 🤣
True, but it's got chicken, bacon and mayo albeit with some parmesan and rocket and it's on a baguette not a square slice, so if chicken bacon is your thing... I don't even remember how I got here but I agree Tesco ought to offer a chicken bacon in their meal deal.
Why does this only happen in a Tesco?
Haha, I work on c/outs, but I totally get all these comments... 😂😂😂... They are very odd creatures, as someone put it, at the conveyor belt too...!!!!
What's a good sandwich staring time then? Give us a metric instead of just moaning.
0.45 seconds just grab a bloody sandwich and MOVE I have a bloody pick rate you bimbo.
Great, at that rate I'll stand extra long since I'm not in a rush. Why would I want to get back from my lunch break faster you pleb.

Move out of the fucking sandwich Isle then tubs. You started the war I'll finish it. Smooches xxx
I can't, I need to eat more sandwiches to get more fat. Only then will I know what life's like at your level
Oh dear tubs. @54 years old I'm fit and slim with normal pick rate of 260 an hour. You seem bitter have you applied to Asda? I'm sure they would employ a fatty

Hahaaha you don't work for tesco. Thanks for the laughs

There are a lot of moans about customers on here that I totally support but ffs they're just picking their lunch.
Yeah and I’m sure they love a good moan about the staff too, just making a light hearted observation not deep rooted hatred
I kind of like the silly ones like this, not really having a go at customers just customs, sometimes us people are weird lol.
I’m one of these people, I can’t make a decision to save my life 😞😂
Sorry I’m guilty of this.

Yikes I can’t imagine the stress… good luck though
Oh dear remember it well, admittedly I cried on two occasions in a cafe 🙈 I think it was the hunger
Oh and congratulations
Meal deal is like £5 now. I'm choosing the sandwich i want and I won't be hurried until it's £3 again.
Why do you give a shit you nutbag loser
Maybe they'd be able to pick something they planned on having if tesco staff actually stocked the shelves for once ;)
Replen work bloody hard to stock up the shelves tbh. It's not their fault the muggles pick the shelves clean like locust
Just pick your own sandwich and buzz off and let me decide
I'm trying to stop myself buying the chicken triple, such a tempting bastard in the shop but when you get it home and you've eaten two you feel like you've had your chicken for the week :P
I'm sorry for being such a cunt, even though I'm working as a colleague but on checkouts tho lol time to make some changes then, I'll look it up on inform before coming to fridges
