What are your supermarket pet peeves?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Fruit fondlers, meat misplacers and that guy who took a leak in aisle nine.

Supermarkets can be interesting places, filled with interesting characters. They are strange, sometimes seamy and even occasionally hostile environments where people behave in a unique manner.

What are your supermarket pet peeves? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
