Supermarket Airconditioning

Every time the sun comes out nowadays it seems to me that the people in charge of supermarket air conditioning think that it's really hot (it mostly isn't that hot of course) and then crank the air con up to ridiculous levels, (or do they crank it DOWN).
Anyhow, with this recent spell of fine weather that we've been experiencing every one of my local supermarkets that I've walked into the temperature has been about -5! (Well it seems like that).
The supermarkets are full of shivering shoppers having just come in from outside (where it's pleasantly warm) wearing shorts, T shirts, vest tops etc and WALLOP they plunge into an Arctic airflow.
Why? What's wrong with these supermarket air con people?
It can only be a matter of time before someone (probably me) gets stranded, caught out in the open in the dried fruit aisle or wherever and dies from exposure.
My advice - pack a sweater.

Supermarket Blues

Supermarkets: can't live with 'em can't live without 'em. So to speak.

Many things/happenings annoy me in the supermarkets. One of which is the 'across the isle trolley person'. They stand staring at a shelf and instead of having their trolley nice and neat and next to them they have the fucking thing held in one hand at arms length splayed across the isle and totally blocking the isle in the process!

Morons!

And then there's the people who meet someone they know and they stand chatting to said person two abreast again blocking the bloody isle!

And then there's the person who gets to the till and is about to pay and says 'oh I've forgot something' and wanders off!!

Forgotten their fucking brain is what!

I try to avoid supermarkets and once successfully boycotted them for a whole year, but as I said: can't live with 'em can't live without 'em.
