[highlight]Glad its just not me then!! I have since pushed in front of people who leave their basket at the check out [/highlight]and then walk off to do more shopping, they look quite perturbed on their return, but Feck em I say, they are not in the village shop anymore!! Can you imagine the trauma if they introduced self check out aisles in Cataloonia!!

I once queued behind an unmanned basket for 5 days before I realised they'd taken the old biddy off in an ambulance!  We had similar experiences when first here in the Tivenys Spa shop - could take an hour to buy 300g of ham!
