Black Rose Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Damn it, I forgot what I was going to post :( *digs in memory* Are you fed up with shops overcharging you sneakily for stuff (charging more at the till than the price on the side of the shelf)? Are you fed up with shops not taking off special offers and hoping people won't notice it? Are you fed up with dodgy trolleys not going in the direction you want them to go? Because I am fed up with all 3 of those things and more. This is random isn't it, but I don't freaking care tonight :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Rose Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 Do you also hate when the wheels of the trolley get caught up against something and you walk right into that bar at the bottom of the trolley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saffire Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I hate when I find an awesome shirt or jeans on the discount rack, and when they scan it in the computer it turns out it's not on sale and it's like $700,000 or something ridiculous like that.

Black Rose Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 I hate when I find an awesome shirt or jeans on the discount rack, and when they scan it in the computer it turns out it's not on sale and it's like $700,000 or something ridiculous like that. Cleverly placed by the shop staff or left there by a customer, so you think it's in the sale, but if you look at the price label you will find it's not in the sale. My favourite was at Asda over new year, they had an offer on super noodles (something like buy 5 for £2,50), a whole shelf of noodles with all the various flavours, seems about right your allowed to pick any 5 from the range. However in the middle of the shelf of the noddles were 'family packs' which were not in the promotion, which caught people out because they didn't see the small print. I managed to win the customer services person over and got the family pack noodles in the promotion :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 :p i'm not a vandal, it was the wheels fault not mine. :\ oh recently we went shopping and we were close to forget about a promo... lucky that the cashier told us about it... so i had to go in a rush to get the promo. :confused: i don't like those things, (have to go in a rush to do things) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 Dodgy promotions: Some teacakes in Tesco, buy 1 packet for 50p, but you can buy 2 packets for the low low price of £1,50 :P Bread, you can buy a loaf for a pound, but you can buy 3 loafs in a promotional deal for £3, wow. Some shaving foam, buy one for £2, but you can buy 2 for £1,50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMagpie Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I used to do it at school alot. The I received this wise piece of advice. When you're using doors that lead to an exit or towards and exit they will be push doors. Just think of if there was a fire and you had to get out, it would be faster to push than pull. And now I don't make that mistake nearly as often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 here doors are automatic, i mean those ones that open themselves when they detect someone is about to cross them. :thinking: but lol each time my dad goes to the bank he never remember that doors open the other way round as they usually do, and always pull when should push and the other way round. :p is fun at times, but other times is really annoying... but worst doors are train ones... :dozey: you push a button and it opens, the problem is that it last few opened and is really annoying when you have to cross the door with a trolley or things like that, it always gets stucked :dozey: edit: wait i forgot about uni door, it ways gets stucked (and the ones i use are in-doors, that are on a big stair that communicates all the floors, and which suppousely are emergency doors which should never be stucked :dozey: ) i could wrote a library about me and doors. :confused: once i got stucked at the doctors and he had to come to open the door for me, that was so annoying.

Black Rose Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 The doors on the SWT fleet have sensors which stop the doors closing when something is in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now I don't make that mistake nearly as often. Makes sense. I get it wrong all the time. Hopefully not anymore. As for shops I do find it pretty annoying. Happened to me at Tesco's the other day because you were supposed to get 2 pizzas (2 for 1) for like £2. They charged me £3.50 for it. I then said I didn't want it. As I walked off the lady at the till complained to her colleague about stupid customers who weren't able to read prices. Apparently I was the third person who complained about it.

strawberryswinger Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I hate when I push on a pull door or pull on a push door. this is kind of a Murphy law: if you have to open a push door, sure you'll pull it.if you have to open a pull door, sure you'll push it.

Lyric Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 But with doors, I think when I make the mistake, it's often because the direction the door opens in is an unusual way (ugh, bad wording). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't moan at the checkout girl, go to customer services and moan at them, they will send someone to check and will come back with a report ;) And sometimes they will give you something back on top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
