am fuming.... (30)
I would've said 'Do you mind..I was first'
And if she gives me a dirty look and carries on emptying her trolley...i'll drop something from her items or make her feel guilty by saying to the cashier " this is sooo right isn't it."

She mouthed off,
when I walked past her
placed my stuff right in front
of her,
emptying the bags
on the tape of the till...
She just couldnt stop...
putting the blame on me

Hey Uli - perhaps next time, stand next in line on the next checkout and ask same
uli I'm guessing you've been in Germany too long. Think about it.
shot3743: I would rather have have my balls cut off than get into an altercation or even join in the fracas that occurs when a new check out is opened upat Aldi's. When the cry of Bitte an Kasse sowieso auflegen peals out and the waiting shoppers leap forward with their heavily laden carts, medium sized Scotchman that I am is concerned more with avoiding getting trolley tyre marks over my sensible footwear.
yeah know the feeling, women drivers in rage
I believe in taking breaks wherever I find them .... and queus are just another excuse to stand back and relax, and wait........
Same with airline seats - I usually always get a nice seat with extra leg-room. Only once did I end up opposite the toilet door, and that was because I allowed myself to get ansy about getting a "good seat" again!
Time ...... is too precious to waste getting annoyed, and relaxation time is even more precious.......
Try to remember, with everything .... "This too shall pass"....

i remember many years ago calling at watford gap for a break and a cuppa as normal there was a queue and i was behind a big guy a lorry driver i think anyway comes his turn and he simply says full breakfast and gets a plate full of eggs sausages beans etc which i thought was good value so i looked on the board and a full breakfast was priced at 3 pound i think inc tea anyway this guy gets to the check out and the girl says that will be 5 pouds he said why she said you got an extra egg and 2 sausages plus beans and the guy said i just ordered a full breakfast and it says 3 quid on the board she says but you have got extra he says do want my 3 quid or not she says no its 5 pounds he said well take it bake i will go without she says you cant do that its already on your plate so you have to pay he said not on your nelly darling and poured the whole breakfast and tea into the open cash register she sreamed the guy walked off and i simply left my cup of tea on the counter and left what a mess but i felt that the guy was right as he did ask just for a breakfast he never asked for extras at all JUSTIFIED I THINK

Never a quiet moment at the Watford Gap!
Ulimaroa: at the supermarket just now.
I get to the check out
and aaaaaasss bloody usual
in German Supermarkets
there is a huuuuuuuuge queue!
So I hang around a minute
or two
assessing whether its stuck
or moving...
But no.
No movement.
People rummaging for change
people searching for plastic cards...
So I walk up to the check-out-chick
saying friendly:
Would you please be so kind and open another cash register?
Silence.
I get ignored.
I repeat my question
somewhat uncomfortable
because now everyone is staring at me.
black leather coat
black knee high boots
purple woolen & kneelong dress
I want to disappear.
I say: Would you please be so kind and open another cash register?
She rings the bell twice.
Thats the code for the other staff.
I know meanwhile,
but she didnt say anything.
So I approach her again,
"Which register would that be,please?"
No reply!
Inside I am fuming....
but am not showing it.
I ask again,
and she mutters THREE under her breath.
As I turn on my heel
walking to that check out,
the last person to join the queue
heard it all and walks
right in front of me
plonking her couple of things
on the desk.
There was no eye-contact with me,
asking whether I'd mind,
let along a verbal question...
WHAT WOULD YOU DO NOW???
Also would you think
her action was polite???

Germany is generally known for bad and arrogant retail customer service
Just last week - I thought to get a few items over quiter lunch time in a well known German discounter - all went well till I wanted to pay..
The only cash point open - closed right in front of my nose - saying she would be right back - there I stood waiting for minutes - after a while I called ...Hello anyone here ???
Also another customer behind me got annoyed he started calling too... when she finally came away from talking to a collegue - making a angry face, with nothing better to do then wanting to argue "how unfriendly and impatient customers are"...

So many shops would be so easy to run were it not for the customers coming in and making the place noisy and untidy!
