I agree with stressful shopping. Aldi is the worst with short space by the till and the till assistant pushing everything towards you at great speed.. very annoying. I used to get really stressed and try to pack it all with same speed, but after a while I just figured no point in adding extra stress in my daily life so I learned to relax. I put the shopping in my bags at my own speed and smile to till assistant and the people in the queue behind me. What's the point? ... if they get stressed it is theirs and not mine

So, this morning I went to Sainsbury's with DH and DGD3 (aged 4!). We eventually got to the checkout, with a very full trolley, and joined a queue. The Supervisor opened another till and indicated that we should move over and start unpacking the trolley, which I did while DH 'entertained' DGD.
Before I had finished emptying my trolley a woman came and started unloading her small trolley onto the end of the belt. I didn't have enough room to get all my stuff on in front of the separating thingy but when I asked her to move some of her shopping out of the way she just said 'No, I've unpacked it now!' 
I was stressed enough as it was, what with DH and DGD but that was the giddy limit! So I huffed a lot!
