Supermarkets
Why is it that supermarkets only ever have about a quarter of the checkouts open? Why spend the money building and equipping them with cash registers, scanners etc if they’re not going to use them?
Grocery shopping is bad enough without having to wait 10 minutes in line at the end of it. I think a good form of protest would be to simply abandon your trolley full of stuff at the checkout. That’d stuff the supermarket.
Trouble is, by the time you get to do that, you’ve invested enough of your time and energy to not want to give it up (and no doubt the supermarkets know this and this is one reason they know they can be stingy with the number of checkouts they open).
Another thing I’d like to see is someone develop a scanner that you could push the whole trolley through and have it scanned all at once - saving the effort of unloading it, then reloading it.
