Oh, I hate it when the cashier decides she knows better than me how I want my bags. I do hope you gave her the death stare too!

Nettie,
I completely agree!! I load the dishwasher the same way (hubby is not allowed to load…only empty!), my shopping list is the same as the aisles (but oh the angst when they move things around!) and I do pack onto the conveyer belt in order. However, on a recent visit to M&S the cashier lifted the first item (potatoes) to the side, put the other things through, then the potatoes. WHY?? I didn’t start packing until the potatoes were through…I could feel the tension from the queue behind me!

Totally agree – and go nearly mental when the cashier carelessly picks up the soft fruit I’ve put at the end of the conveyor belt, so it doesn’t get squashed, then passes it through as quickly as possible and bashes it down on the other side.

Dishwasher – he wouldn’t dare touch it. He has lots of other toys to play with and wishdosh only gets used about once a week, so it’s mine.

A huge thank you, Nettie, for reviewing WAGS as part of the blog tour! I’m very grateful to you. I will let you know if one of your readers is among the winners but I should warn everyone that there are a LOT of names to collate and enter!

I wish you all very fulfilling and fortunate writing lives. And many thanks again, to Nettie for hosting me and to the rest of you for being interested.

My Hubby is great now. He’s come with me often enough and sees how upset doing it differently makes me so he now packs like a ninja!

We women must be all very similar, dishwasher, yes I load it the same, shopping yes I go down one aisle at a time and my list is written that way too. Packing shopping, of course, big heavy things first, fruit and veg in one bag. If hubby helps it’s a nightmare all shopping in any bag at all and as for the dishwasher, well you wouldn’t sleep if I should you how he loads it or how he puts it on and it’s not full. Is it us who are mad?

You’ve definitely got the correct packing system, anyone not doing it that way…is doing it wrong! My daughter’s part time at Morrisons and she, like me, is pretty OCD…we love order in our lives! She struggles with some of the ways customers put their goods on the conveyor belt, and says she desperately wants to repack some of it herself! She recently had to stop herself from grabbing a customer’s bag from them when they put their soft fruit on one bag and placed a jar of jam in on top!
