I usually shop late in the day due to child care issues and used to find loads of bargains at that time around 9pm. I only bought what I needed, never deviated from my list and meal plans but there was always loads of down priced meat fish bread etc. now it's murder at that time. Last week there were 30 people at the reduced bread trolley. Everyone grabbing as much as they could, elbowing others, screaming and the poor young girl putting the stickers on was elbowed in the face.
People are so ruthless and rude. I helped the girl up and she said its getting worse and worse. She said people are actually filling their trolley full of meat and bread that expires that day and then insisting its marked down. They don't even wait for the stickers to go on as they know which products get marked down. It just makes me sad. I know times are hard but a lot of these people had 10 baguettes in their trolley, and huge boxes of donuts and meat. Either times are tougher than I think or people are getting greedier! Anyone else experienced such scrums or is just an up north thing?
