"Load up half my trolley onto the belt and then remember I have forgotten something from the furthest reaches of the store and walk slowly to get it!  "
... and wait until the last item has been scanned before starting to pack the bags  |

Let them wait. Caught out before letting someone go before me and they chatted for what seemed like forever to cashier while counting out coins. So naw they can wait. |

I will always let them go first. I waited twenty minutes behind them a s only one till was open. I was kind of pissed off. Especially as they looked at how many items I had while they unloaded their trolly. Manners cost nothing and I know it's not just me that thinks so. So thanks. |

"Ignore them. Dafty should go to the other aisle with a shorter/no wait 
.
I've never had this issue, but then again, I'm usually shopping early morning or late evening. "
I normally do that too, but today I needed to pop in. |

I've seen me going to the self service bit and it ends up taking longer cause there's a wee pensioner next to me who has no clue how to use it, so I do it for them! |

Did they know they were paying for your shopping too though?  |

It's an unwritten rule in aldi that you should let someone in front if they just have a couple of things. Ooft I give the backs of some peoples head a good glare if they don't follow the rules  |

"Make them wait there turn.
Shouldn't have came behind me when they could have went to a self scanner or shorter q
 "
I agree with this.
It's tough, there's a queue and I wait my turn in it like everyone else. |

What if it's a shop with no self check out or scanners?
I'd let them go first if it were just me. If I've got the tiny humans with me... Nope. Every second counts before melt down and I've still got a conveyer belt load to pack in to the car

The issue I have is that many position themselves behind you rather than taking an alternative queue and expect to get in front of you.
Not budging. There's a fuckinj queue for a reason. |

What i don't understand is the ability to avoid paying in the self service checkouts….if its weighed scales then how do you get away with it Asda has those tablets after all
Back on subject, it does depend on what they are buying. |

I always seem to get in a barney in the queue in Aldi....some daft woman had a go cause I started putting my shopping down before she'd put her last item on the conveyer belt thingy as she was taking too bloody long.....It was like watching a sloth on temazapam... |

"You are at the till with a full shopping trolley, someone joins behind you and has three or four items. What do you do? "
Are they on Fab?
If so then obviously you have more veris and therefore have the right to demand bareback |

The meet itself was awkward so this was even worse I played about in my purse and spoke to my son and only made eye contact to say thanks, needless to say I rarely go in that shop now and that was over 2 years ago |
