Rules for supermarket shopping

Keep left. Don’t just push your trolley aimlessly down the aisle as you will invariably get in the way. In Australia we drive on the left hand side of the road, this should also apply to pushing of shopping trolleys in supermarkets.
Don’t try and pass someone going the opposite direction on their left. As they will be keeping left you will just be getting in the way. It is especially rude to force your way between a trolley and the shelves just pass on the other side.
At the deli don’t take your number then stand in front of the number dispenser, you’re in the way and you will annoy others.
Once you have your number, don’t wait so close to the counter that others can’t see what is available. If everyone stands back a bit then everyone can see what’s on offer.
When you get to the checkout you must already know if you can pay for what you are buying, this means if you are paying cash you will have enough to cover what you are buying or if you are paying by EFTPOS you will know which account has the right amount of money that you need. This means that you shouldn’t enter the supermarket if you are unsure as to how much money you have available.
Don’t send your shopping partner to the checkout if you haven’t finished shopping. Make sure you have all items you need before queuing; failing to heed this rule will annoy the hell out of those behind you in the queue. It is very rude and should not be done.
If you must bring your kids to the supermarket please ensure they have a quiet and clam disposition. There is nothing more annoying than kids that scream/cry or run around getting in the way. If you can’t trust your child to be well behaved leave them at home, or if this isn’t possible then tape the mouths shut and tie them to the trolley.
Don’t eat in the supermarket, it’s disgusting.
Don’t eat thing from the supermarket you haven’t yet paid for, its theft.
Wear shoes, no one wants to see your manky feet. Thongs and plastic clogs don’t count as shoes.
Don’t open the doors of the freezers then stand there and decide what you want. They have glass doors for a reason.
If your old, don’t do your shopping when people that work will be shopping, i.e. After 5pm and on weekends, your too slow and will get in the way. You have plenty of opportunities before 5pm on weekdays.
If you don’t understand the concept of the self serve checkouts then stay away from them, they are annoying to use at the best of times without some moron taking hours to scan their ready meal.
