I'm guessing it doesn't annoy you either?!
It can do.

Many years ago I spent ages chatting this bird up. She was an absolute stunner. Finally she relented. Then it came to the moment I had been waiting for. Boy I was excited. Gave my best showing ever. She took one look at it 'You're not coming anywhere near me with that' :oops:

The look and sound of my 8 month old son after a long or crap day. Since he was born I've gone from being a quite hard nosed business type of character to an emotional wreck. All his fault.

Shamelessly bumping my optimistic thread, here.

I have a reassuringly amusing moment most mornings on the school run - watching people over 55 struggle with the concept of those newer pay machines for parking.

Usually they have a microcosm meltdown, consult their other half how to work it, then argue, then finally get a ticket that has a random set of number plate letters.

I did struggle with the book checkout machine at the library, the other day - scan, remove, replace, scan...my brain needed to find an error, and I ended up un-scanning everything.

Won't be long now, mate, next it's new-generation sat navs, then it's the pay machines. :)

I struggle with the self service checkouts at supermarkets. Something always goes wrong with scanning, bagging or needing assistance and it all ends up taking twice as long as it should.
So in the spirit of the thread, checkouts staffed by human beings do not annoy me at all.

Not so sure some of the cashiers on the checkouts could be described as human to be honest.

It usually amuses me how truly miserable the cashiers are at Lidl, oh they love chucking change at me.

Little do they know, I reversed into their outdoor plant display and sent the Chrysanthemums flying, bwahahaaaa.

Lol. Can't get my head round the rules they have at the checkout when you're trying to pack your shopping away. Must be some strange Germanic version of customer service.

Yes, not only is the choice of supermarket important but also the choice of cashier within it.
At times like these I wish I was a ventriloquist with Tourettes, could have hours of fun baiting cashiers who have attitude.

I try not to use them as the bill comes to the same but I have done all the work, if they catch on they won't need any staff.

Cashier choice is very important I normally go for the young pretty blonde ones as it drives my wife mad when we get back to the car and I say she was pretty

Your wife should get some pile cream or thrush cream and say "you forgot this" ;)

I went through a phase of sneaking femfresh into the trolley to see the reaction at the checkout.

No shame in purchasing pile cream, the most embarrassing thing I had to buy was a pregnancy test kit kept telling the lady it was for my wife and showing my wedding ring don't know why.

Indeed, but have you seen the size of those Bosch ovens for their bakery?

I don't push the till monkey too far, in case it's Lidl policy to reinstate Reich rules for treason against lippy customers. Maybe that's where all the baked Bergwurst comes from...

Also, it's definitely not annoying to wake up at 5:23am with a migraine...

When you find that unused strip of Tramadol the doctor gave you when you wrecked your back playing Golf, that is.

Everything's juuuust peachy...literally.
