I hate

Ate at a restaurant a couple years ago and another table had a sausage dog that they'd let up onto the table, the waitress went over and stroked it, had her hand licked etc and then went in the back and ten seconds later came out with plates of food.

I would send the food back.

Luckily we already had our plates but naturally I said nothing and then left them a scathing Google review. That'll teach em

Pub in Golders Green when I lived there had a "pet" turkey. Nasty bastard too, would wander under the tables outside and randomly peck people it felt had slighted it in some way (not given it food, got in its way, existed at all etc).

Sainsbury's appear to have recently removed this option.

Wilko's was best, had none of the checking the weight nonsense. Why didn't that catch on?

Maybe it depends on the shop, the Sainsbury's in Salford makes you scan your receipt before walking out of the scanning area. I was in there after a festival and had no patience for it but working and the overworked attendant was busy so I just pushed round it.

More expensive so will never catch on, but decathlon’s self checkouts are disconcertingly good. Put your basket in the scanner and boom, everything’s on the screen. RFIDs FTW.

Ha, I was in a decathlon the other day and used those self service points for the first time. Scanned everything so quick it confused the hell out of me.

The Amazon ones are the really disconcerting ones. Just stick it in your bag and it adds it to the bill.

But supermarkets still can't make the basic ones work more than 50% of the time.

I have never thought to drop the basket straight in. facepalm.gif

Id worry more about the kitchen than a dog in the eating area.

I'd prefer dogs to people.

edit: as in sharing eating space, but I'd be the first to eat soylet green as long as it was a healthy organic vegan. ;)

No.

Turkey's are cunts.

Had a few that were grown from chicks. My joy of killing, prepping and eating the bastards made that Christmas special.

ecomm sites where cmd-click doesn't open the product in a new tab

Apps they suck you into with discounts and withholding stuff like tracking via browser, like AliExpress and Temu, which are just crippled browsers you can't zoom in and don't have tabs.

This.
I know that whatever measures follow they will result in scratches or marks.

This plus a plastic bank card or similar is your friend

Pineapples?

I find any veg oil or dish soap (no water) usually does the trick. Completely saturate the label and walk away. Maybe half an hour later remove the top part, and if you’re lucky, the whole thing, with fingernails. Fingernails because it’s easy to score the surface with them without marring it. You may have to repeat the process but I’ve never had to do it a third time.

I need to try this, when we moved house we got some horrible eco masking tape to close fridge doors etc, and it’s still mostly stuck on two years later

WD40 does the job

I always use lighter fluid for getting off sticky marks

Another vote for wd40

Maplins (4 eva in r hearts) used to do a citrus based label removal spray. When my stock pile ran out I found the same thing from either Toolstation or Screwfix. It’s as good.

There's a 'roid joke in this but I can't be bothered working it out.
