4. You’re starving and you make some very poor choices

Fourteen all-butter croissants. A whole wheel of cheese. Those bags of doughnuts that are bound to be disgusting. Three bags of Doritos that are on special offer.

11. There are no ‘next customer please’ yokeys on the belt

Panic sets in. What if your stuff gets mixed up with someone else’s?

12. This happens

13. The person in front of you hasn’t realised that it was ’3 for 2′ on shower gel..

… so obviously they have to trot on back to the toiletries aisle and get another one.

14. You’re at the self-service till and there’s no unexpected items in the bagging area, but it keeps telling you there are unexpected items in the bagging area.

15. You’ve had to get plastic bags and now this is happening

16. You forgot the toilet roll, and have to go back
