Okay, so I've been heading back to uni today and of course I needed to pick up some essentials.
Naturally, we stopped somewhere on the way back, and so we stopped at our local TESCO before hitting the main road. Just a five minute stop, no unnecessary purchases. Of course, it's never that easy. Things started falling apart from the moment I started to think about heading to the cash desk.
Literally. My coat lost a button and so I also had to pick up a sewing kit (something that was going to cause me so many problems, although I didn't realise it at the time). I then decided, as I only had a few items, to do the self service.
The only way I can describe this process is that it was akin to Dante's Inferno: hellish. First, my fabric conditioner leaked and so I had to get the supervisor to get me a different bottle. Said different bottle then brought up that age old phrase: "unexpected item in bagging area". I started getting stressed.
I managed to scan some more items and then the grapes caused a problem. Apparently they needed authorisation. No, they just needed weighing: then why did they have a barcode on them! Talk about unnecessary packaging and multimillion pound corporations destroying the planet. After that fiasco, I tried to pay for my shopping. I shouldn't have even bothered.
Apparently, my shopping needed security authorisation: damn those scissors in the sewing kit. Finally, when I had been given yet more store approval (the store should have just given me a staff card) I could pay for my items. Uncreasing the note so it wouldn't be rejected and scanning my clubcard, I finally paid for my shopping.
All I can say is, if you have to do food shopping, do it the old fashioned way. Life is so much easier when technology is not involved.

About Me

- Okay, so I'm a first year law student looking for a way out of the university workload. Trust me, it can get that bad, but i'm sure it'll be worth it in the end. I crave some sort of creative output and so this blog is going to be sort of a diary of a university student. I love criticising and worshipping different media as well as socialising student style and spending time with the currently adoring boyfriend. i also love good food, a passion which also haunts me as i battle weight gain with avengence. Obsessed perfectionist and hopeless romantic, i love planned spontanaity and in this case oxymorons.
Or you could just not go to tescos. they are going to take over the world and have no morals when it comes to the planet. they say that they are eco friendly but really all they is cheap, like a swedish hooker.
ReplyDeleteThey have no morals when it comes to things like animals either and although they claim to have not tested on animals i wouldnt put it past them. i feel a blog post coming on.
miss you hun, see you soon.
