Supermarket Labels

This is why supermarkets should not make any attempt at advertising…

After the shopping fun, we went over to Elwells to have a look at the puppies and to prepare for looking after them tomorrow evening. So small, so cute, so lovely…

Unexpected item

Recently I had the misfortune to use Asdas self service checkout. After double-bagging an item due to the bag tearing, I was told “Unexpected item in bagging area. Wait for assistance”. I waited for an eternity… well, about 5 seconds - before accelerating a 3.8l bag of cat litter onto the scanning surface. The assembly bounced an impressive distance out of the casing, before settling back in after a few rebounds. The screen then informed me that the bagging area was ok and to continue scanning.

Modern technology, best dealt with brute force and ignorance.
