Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights

This is a city centre branch, I think they have them for the lunchtime trade as I work in an area with loads of highrise office blocks. I can see the idiots who work for Metropolitan services from my window.
Re: People who use the 10 items or less queue when they have more than 10 items.
I admit to having done this once, but then my local Asda brought in these 'self -scan and pay' tills - which was great until I got told off for going through it with more than 15 items (which is annoying as I can scan the items faster than a lot of their checkout staff!!) So we've now got '10 items or less' checkouts and '15 items or less' self -scan tills - WHAT NEXT?? Sorry, feel much better for sharing that though.....
Re: People who use the 10 items or less queue when they have more than 10 items.
These tills are nothing but a joke.
Don't get me wrong, I think the principle is sound, but in practice it just doesn't work. There is a growing minority that will abuse any system for their own gain, and if it means using a till that has been put aside for just a few items, then they will.
It is the same principle of using a right turn filter lane in order to jump a queue of traffic, and cut in at the last second. its a worrying trend thats been growing for a number of years. There are always posts about abled bodied people parking in disabled bays, and then other posts trying to justify this action.
Its getting worse, and with it, my temper gets shorter. Why should I stay silent at the checkout, why should I let the selfish arxxholes get away with it. Why should I let the car push into my queue. I shouldn't, and I don't, I also get into too many arguments about it. Still, got to stand up for common deceny haven't I.
Re: People who use the 10 items or less queue when they have more than 10 items.
Goodness - what town are you lot in !! I will never again go to the front of a queue - or try and put 12 items in the 10 or less checkout :o again - I am cured!! Thank you all.................
BTW if I have 10 diferent things but 2 of them are buy one get one free -have still comitted an offence??????? Afetr all I didn't exactly want or buy those things!

Re: People who use the 10 items or less queue when they have more than 10 items.
I just hate supermarkets with a passion. I would rather pay a bit more and get some quality meat from a good butcher than some of the sad looking stuff they sell in Tesco. That must be why I'm on here, skint again !!!
Re: People who use the 10 items or less queue when they have more than 10 items.
I'm guilty of this on several occasions, perhaps only by one or two items, but still I guess there are people out there with less to focus on. I tell you what i'll go to asda and buy a Huge pack of toilet roll like the 32pack they do... 10 OF THEM - AND QUEUE IN THE EXPRESS LANE then i'll take a picture and post it in this thread

Your comment
did make me laugh, as you obviously don't have a lot to focus on yourself if you could be bothered to contribute to this thread.
By the way, less to focus on than what.....good manners perhaps?
After 1430 posts under your belt, I would of thought you may have come across sarcasm already... perhaps I missed the section in the FAQ where this is frowned upon...?
Sarcasm: Lowest form of wit (i'm aware)
P.S. I'm using CAG for my bank charges and got busy mouse syndrome and came across this thread :, feel free to have a look if you want Click here...
Re: People who use the 10 items or less queue when they have more than 10 items.
I will re-iterate my point, having 11 or 12 items at a 10 items or fewer counter is hardly a problem, I asume you didn't understand my point.
As to sarcasm, well here is the OED definition
sarcasm
• noun the use of irony to mock or convey contempt. — ORIGIN Greek sarkasmos, from sarkazein ‘tear flesh’, later ‘gnash the teeth, speak bitterly’.
Which makes me ask the question, which one of us was being sarcastic? I wasn't, and if it was your intention was to do so....then you failed I'm afraid.
As to your bank charges, good luck. (thats wasn't sarcastic by the way)
Re: People who use the 10 items or less queue when they have more than 10 items.
I have to say that when I lived in Aldershot, you could see all the young Army wives in the supermarket - I think it was an "International Stores" (yes I really am that old!!!)
They used to go round the store with the kids in the trollies and feed the kids on the way round - pies/ crisps/ drinks/ fruit etc put the empty wrappers on a shelf and then leave!! loads of them used to do it!! Amazing! I know alot of them were very hard up with hubby away from the country etc. My ex was a police officer there .........
