A lot of Screwfix and Toolstation trade around my way seems to be from the white van brigade where the vans as sign written with company names.
As a DIYer I check on-line that the branch has stock and usually order and pay on-line before waiting for the text to say the order has been picked.
Yup. They seem to be fixed in place for someone half the height of me. And I'm not that tall. ;-)
So how do you know what heppenes. The only place/counter I have seen this is in the newly done out B&Q where they have a trade area. It's also a collection point it seems.
I'd have thought you'd need a VAT number or something simialar.
So were you in the trade ?
Did you get your .22 blanks at a differnt price because you were in the trade ?
I can understand how a gun or sports shop might be able to claim as being in theb trade but I don;t see how a user or 0.22 blanks can be seen as being in the trade.
When did I say I did?
No I wait until every is on the belt and try to ensure the last thing from the basket is the first item that is scanned, that way it can go into the bottom of carrier bag.
That;s what I do and it;s handy that you have to wait longer because peole take longer to pack because others too sort out staff both befopre it;s scanned and after it;s scanned but they can only allocated it ot a bag after it;s been scanned.
Which I always do.
if the process was quicker I wouldn't have time to organise things in the bag would I.
Where do you get that figure from ? Maybe this is why self service is slow in comparision.
if yuo have an SDS drill in yuor basket and a banana sandwich which would you but at the bottom of yuor basket and which item would you scan first ?
Me to but they;d mostly be just addressing the women. Have you ever stood at a tube station gates and observed who take the longest to go through the barriers after getting their cards from a bag, try it. I;d say 3 time smore women stop when the get to the barrier and THEN open their handbag where as men tend to have a wallet or phone in their hand when approaching the barrier.
Then order things on it in the way you want. I'd have thought that obvious
- even to you.
I do, but as the belt moves the thing I first have to take out of the bag h as to be the first on the belt that's how these things work. Dont; yuo knwo how conveyer belts work, fiorst on first off and it's difficult getting th e heavier things from the bottom of the basket. People also build walls from the bottom up for similar reasons.
but it doesn't have to be tight up the last item from the previous person, if you know there's a heavy item at the bottom of the basket, leave a gap for it, or learn to play towers of Hanoi with your shopping.
Fair enough I misread your post. And so I misposted.
Nevertheless I never suggested you bought banana sandwiches.
Basically anyone sound in body and mind with an IQ in double figures, should be able to make their own banana sandwiches.
However modern bread is so soft that once it gets squashed you can end up making really funny shaped sandwiches. "Irregular rhombus" is I believe one of the terms used. Whether or not filled with squashed banana.
Never mind trying to fit it in a toaster.

Forgot you were so slow at doing anything. But you could look for a store where the belt isn't running all the time. Ie a normal store.
Good luck building a well, rather than wall. But you'd die of thirst first.
Probably why the Express invented the EU straight banana stories. For their readers who need every bit of help they can get to make anything.
Those are the stores were yuo spend a long time in queues I aviod them, unl ike you I unpack and pack quicky. As I place my product on the belt it eith er starts moving or will move shortly, sometimes I;m unpacking while the pr evious item is being scanned and pushed to the collection point. You musty gop to relly slow stores if you managed to unpack everything befo re it gets scanned how do you do this at self service checkouts ?
I wouldn't build a well or a wall if I were dying of thirst is that what pe ople do. ?
No, you put the next customer divider on the belt and if you have heavy stuff to load later you just leave a big enough gap behind it.
Fush moi. You get someone to order the way you scan them at a self service one?
Or is it just your right hand doesn't know what your left hand is doing?
How do you build a well? I mean, how do you lay the bricks? Maybe you
*do* start laying them from the bottom, and dig out the middle so the lining sinks.
be the first on the belt
Did that yeaterday trouble is I chose the till point with the least number of people in it, so as I got to the belt, the previous person was typing in their pin. So as I started placing my things on the belt they were scanned immediatly. But as this was sainsbury there;s quite a bit of table where they slide the shopping down which gives you time to choose what to pick up first. So the first item can be left six pack or crips, why I wait for the box of
2 boxes of 12 sachets of cat food follow then the milk. You see in my basket I had two boxes of teh above and had the crips on top of them because I didn't find it easy to place the boxes on top of the bags . When I was in aldi there wasn't room to leave 2 boxes on the 'counter' thre was only enough space for one box and nothing else.if you have any idea at all you';d know that if you leave space at the fron t of the belt as the operator advances the belt there;s nothing on it for t ill operator to scan so what do they do nothing until you empty all yuor tr olly then re-arrbge it in the oppersite order to hwo yuo unpacked it. No wo nder threre's always such queues if this is what you need to do.
They are an example of things that would get squashed.
Mine's in triple figures.
Not at the checkout they can't.
What if yuo don't want funny shaped sandwiches.
toaster what sort of person needs a toaster, can;t you toast bread without a toaster ?
Nio I;m fast that is the point, and given the chance I choose the till point with least people or least shopping in it sometime I recognise the till operaor as being slow or fast.
I prefer putting my stuff on running belts as that indicates a movement and that indicates that I will get served quicker than ion a belt that is not moving. Haven;t you noticed that the noraml stores where the belts arenl;t moving don;t have a till operator at the end of them. This is most true in MY local ASDA where they have about 30 till point and usualy less than 5 open
why woud I want to biuld a well, oh I see yuo think walls are wells.
Yeah sure, make you wonder why they don;t buil;d wells and walls in deserts doesn't it.
are you sure?
