Well, again, a lot of this could be a UK thing, but:
- When the cashier asks you if you want help packing, you decline, and they scan the items at lightning speed just to spite you.
- When you do get them to help with packing and they use a new bag for every two items.
- When they run out of something, instead of leaving the label there, they obliterate its very existence, so you don't know if they've run out or dropped it entirely.
- Endless badgering for layalty cards. Look, I'm in town for the weekend, there's no bramch near home, and I don't want 0.001% rebate in return for endless mailshots.
- Bizarre and illogical categorisation. The 25g raisin boxes are with "snacking fruit" and the 75g with "baking ingredients". Hmm.
- Promotions on staple items where they vastly under-order.
- When I order a week's worth of groceries online,and all the fresh stuff they deliver is BBE the next day.
- When they don't police the disabled spaces in the car park, and let scum get away with parking there illegally.
- Where there are no or very insecure cycle spaces, particularly when in town. Come on, it's 2008, not 1988!
- Bizarre car park layouts devised by M C Escher.
- Pricing 2 2-packs at less than a 4-pack. That used to be illegal.
- Urban supermarkets with no respect for the surrounding area (Tesco are especially bad for this) - cages left on the pavement, delivery vans blocking streets, late-night noise...
- Excessive and unrecyclable packaging, even in this day and age. And also, making a huge fuss about how much packaging they're reducing when it's only been introduced in the last couple of years.
