Totally OT - Behaviour in Supermarkets

Damned inconsiderate as most shops will scrap the item if it has been out of
a chilled cabinet.
Seen in the DIY Sheds as well where people have browsed items and then not
put them back on the right hook.
I guess some might say "so what" - but if the shops employ more staff to
keep the shelves tidy then the prices go up.
I mainly feel it is inconsiderate behaviour (which spawns inconsiderate
behaviour) - irrespective of any cost implications.
No surprise there. I regularly chunter on about how the supermarket is
the ideal opportunity to point out to children that other people matter.
Not stopping in the entrance, keeping your trolley to one side of an
isle, allowing others to reach items, not playing about with things
you're not going to buy. Of course the complete opposite is now
regularly the case and don't get me started on how having to pay,
frequently seems to come as a complete surprise. They have rights you
know and the rest of us can just wait until they're done and young
mothers are the worst. It's sad actually, how inconsiderate we've become.
