Wash your mouth out with listerine. Tesco finest is great! They both stock great books mind.

The big supermarkets in the UK are fairly egalitarian when it comes to customer demographics - I know middle class people who swear by Tesco's sushi and working class people who buy their food almost exclusively through Marks & Spencers.
It's only when you get to the bottom end - Lidl, Aldi, Iceland - that you start seeing nature's refuse.
However, whatever the shopping location, I'm always taken aback by someone doing their shopping in pyjamas or a bath robe. If they're too lazy to pull on some track suit pants, then they really have no hope of becoming anything useful in society.
Quote: Dolly Dagger @ December 2 2009, 4:20 PM GMTLooking at the people and then looking at what's in their trolley is quite depressing.
It's tempting to look at the trolley and make connections to the person pushing it. Often there is a sea of 'stripey', or endless catfood and some vodka.
But if you looked in my trolley, you'd see all sorts of crap which I'd never eat, because I shop for my mum, who eats atrocities like tinned tongue and prunes, Spam and Metatone (a worthless 'tonic'). It's embarrassing to buy these things, especially when there are judgmental people like me looking in my trolley.
Well, when I was a little boy, Mummy would take me shopping at Waitrose, where we'd often see a woman not only wearing a dressing gown, but sporting a full, proper man's beard as well! 
It haunted my childhood, but I now feel ready to talk about it. Anyone? 
Now that I've moved back to Hackney and have to mingle with the poor, going to the supermarket is a nightmare.
For some people, it's a big f**king family day out, like Alton Towers with Rice Krispies and shit. I've seen families of up to 8 people all go shopping together at Sainsburys.
When I go to the supermarket, I got my list, I grab my stuff and I'm gone. I shop so fast that even Usain Bolt would struggle to keep up.
Why anyone needs to stand in front of the jars of curry sauce for more then 12 seconds is beyond me. But there they are, stood there for over two minutes, staring blankly and open mouthed like a retarded frog.
Of course, these same f**kers who walk at one mile an hour and take 14 years to decide which type of chocolate biscuit they want are the same bastards who suddenly lose all patience if the check out queue consists of more then two people.

Tesco sushi is very poor, IMO.
I did see a woman and child in their nightclothes in a Tesco (outside of London) the other day.
I went to safeway in my jim-jams once, I confess. It was in the evening and I'd been in them all day. I'm not even ashamed.
Our store used to get people in their jammies all the time. We had a prostitute trying to pick up people in the fresh meat section (best location, I think!) and a guy in his underwear running around spaced out on Ecstacy.

I never spend ages starring at the biccies!

There's nothing wrong with Aldi. Get some good bargains in Aldi.
On BBQ mitts and window-screen clothes.

That's about as funny as a limp shit masquerading as a sweet politician.

In the supermarket? Pah, a service station or an all-night garage - that's the place for that. Isn't it....?
