good grief, what happens to people Christmas week? I've never seen such brattish behavior! we get shouted at, pushed shoved and prodded, all so they can get at the sprouts! I've even seen them fighting over sausages...
it's just not what it's all about really is it?
still, I've done my share now, off until Saturday, it's been the maddest two days of my working year, and I'm glad to see the back of it!
Ho ho ho and Merry Christmas xx

That is why I do all my shopping online and have it delivered.
Way more civilised

We got our last few bits yesterday. Must admit that it was quite civilised. We had a chat with a lovely lady coming out of A*di. We couldn't understand why people had to be so bad tempered and grumpy whilst they were doing their Christmas food shop.

then radio announced the next days ferry was under review so the other half of shetland appeared.

Well a nice man delivered all my food shop fractionally after I had made my only cuppa of the day LOL. Will admit I am one of the grumpy ones - don't enjoy shopping, hate piped muzak, especially loud, hate crowds and really do not see why hordes of people suddenly expect to share my bit of shop. Without online grocery shop think we'd be shooting the local pigeons with a catapult LOL.Need a couple of things so will send OH out for them tomorrow.

I know, I don't know what possesses some people, why they become so horrid over something so trivial. I mean
is it the end of the world if they can't get some sprouts or something? No, not when you think some people have
nothing and/or are suffering during this season when we should be sharing and caring.
I went to S-buris yesterday and the experience wasn't too bad - yes there were some rude people but the
staff and the nice ones made up for it. I wanted some lacto-free milk, asked one of the staff who was busy
doing something else, but I said I can wait until he's finished. He said of course, I will go and look for you.
I said it is only for my cat but he loves his milk and can't drink ordinary milk. He came back, arms laden with
what I wanted and said, we love all our customers to be happy at Christmas, including cats! Then, as I unloaded
the last bits into the car, a lovely lady asked for my trolley and wished me a happy Christmas - it was all very
nice really.
I did do one thing though for which I feel very, very terrible. Had the car washed by one of those car-washing people
who lurk about in supermarket car parks, very pleasant he was. I said I had to go to cashpoint so could I pay when
I come back, which I often do, and he agreed. I forgot and got miles up the road before remembering. I don't feel good
about it. But I will pay when I go next time.

Popped into M&S as I was in town & it was horrible. People pushing & shoving so I went to Tesco on Portland & it was much more civilised. Got myself little piece of beef & some yellow label lamb chops & steak mince so I did well.:)
