Had very loud 'music' blasting from speakers at the enterance to the shop today. I do not do loud. Took my trade elsewhere.  Got not quite what I wanted but close enough.

So many places, now, insist on playing muzack really loud. Lots are blaring ads, over their tannoy, too. Places like Wilkinson's.

Sod that.

I just shove my headphones in and ignore it. I used to just be getting into a song when....CUSTOMER SERVICE TO TILL 3 !!!! ..Used to jump out my skin 
So I put my own choice of music in, it stops them mithering too  then I take headphones out when I get to the till.

Always chuggers inside the entrance now, or someone doing a 50 mile row.......

Far too many of them 
I could do with a badge that states     please do not ask as refusal often offends

I just ignore the shaky bucket lot.  Many of them are in for a 30% cut.  I give directly to the needy

I had 87p change from the auto-tills in Tesco earlier.

Bloody packaging    a really large box delivered today from my girls. The box was three feet by two feet and on opening there was masses of brown paper hiding another bloody box. In that box was a wok (whoopee) complete with its own cardboard and plastic protection. 
Not the girls fault cos they didn't pack it, but why all the paper? It's ridiculous.
Opened my shopping from tesco...a box round the toothpaste...a box round a bottle of disinfectant. ..a box round 6 tins of dog food...cellophane and a pissin box round four apples
