Seeing an alright mate turn into a hipster "facebook famous" swaggot pisses me off.

No longer wish to be associated with him other than to rip the shit out of him when I see his dumb and illwhitted attempts at fame online.

Superstar components are useless, ordered some hose and stainless fittings for my Saints and when they came the blister pack with the fittings in was cracked and missing 2 M8 fittings and an olive. I emailed them and got a reply the following morning apologising and saying they'd send the missing parts out, got an email invoice stating the correct parts and the next day I had another delivery from Superstar. Opened it up and read the invoice which said No.2 hose fittings kit, tipped out the packet and inside was a black aluminium banjo fitting?!

How the f**k on gods green earth can you manage to cock something as simple as that up! Sent them another email saying they'd got it wrong and I've not heard back from them, useless wankers.

Grumble.

Supermarket work is dicks.

I regularly am made to collect trolleys. This task annoys me for a few reasons.

I want to build some muscle, but in order to do this effectively you need to be in calorie surplus, and particularly a whole 5 hour shift of trolley retrieval burns a f**kload of calories that I'm not paid enough to replace. It's annoying when people say 'it's good exercise!' when they're much fatter than me, also.

There are a few other people capable of doing this task, and usually on a Saturday it's one of them (there's a guy who's been doing it for 60 years, what a joke!) but on an evening time when I work, it's at best between me, this supervisor dude who is kinda needed to supervise, this f**ker who's got a lying doctors's note to get out of it because of a back injury that doesn't stop him going to the gym, who also sometimes smiles smugly if he's passing on the order to go out and do it, and this girl-pants who can't push more than 6 trolleys because he's a girl-pants. There's a rule that says you can't push more than 10 but that's a god damn waste of time. This dude never exceeds this limit, so he's slow as hell.

Because I don't give a shit about this rule and I want to push these pieces of shit back as fast and in as few runs as possible I end up doing it a lot faster than other people so I kinda get why it's usually me, but that doesn't stop it from draining my spirits.

Let's also not forget the customers who try and snake you to save a precious few seconds. Trolleys obey the camber of the car park so whatever space is there one second will be gone the next, and it's their car that gets ruined. And the taxi and van drivers that park in front of the shop so you can't get past, and the people stood around where you collect the trolleys from getting in the way so you can't crack on and do your job. And the people who attach the wrong trolleys to each other because they're lazy cnuts which causes growing amounts of faggotry if left unattended.

Oh, and today I got sunburnt from doing it.

It's sort of true that it's nice to be outside (avoiding adding bad weather to this list), better perhaps than being inside on a till, but when you're inside you can talk to people and sometimes have a nice time, whereas when you're outside you're only faced with things that people do that piss you off. It's difficult not to get roped in with negative feelings when doing this task.

Well, shit, I wrote an essay about how I hate pushing trolleys. Don't suggest talking to supervisors about it, I've made jokes about disliking it, I've clearly expressed my dislike, I've offered suggestions of using other people, but to no avail. I looked at transfers to a couple of other stores too, no luck. Looks like I'm snookered!

TL;DR - give me a trolley and I'll ram it up your arse.

I had to this a bit last week and ended up walking around the car park getting angry with people. Things I hate are when people shove a trolley at you and act like it's a big favor to you, and then people that leave their lists and free magazine crap in the cart. Glad it was just the one day I had to do it :P

I like the bit where you say the rule about pushing 10 trolleys is silly, and then that customers should take into account that the trolleys follow the camber.

Maybe if you used those big muscles and only pushed 10 you'd be able to control them ;)
