Had to go to larger TESCO for. Couple of bits. Cashier plonked the card reader down on the desk,it was out of his reach,then the contactless part wasn't working. She was so rude to him,he walked out.

Good on him. I've been tempted a couple of times in supermarkets to do the same. I had a situation in M&S Food where a staff member was trying to make me use self-service checkout because I only had a basket. He got really huffy when I refused. If I didn't actually have immediate need for what I was buying I would have walked out.
The supermarket where my parents are doing most of their shopping for fresh stuff is a small branch of Asda (I take a car full of non-perishables every so often). Generally they don't have anyone on the staffed till, but someone is around to sort out the inevitable "unexpected items in the bagging area". My Mum doesn't like the self-service tills and usually has a small trolley not a basket, so she started asking them if she could pay at the staffed till. Now when the assistant sees her coming, they get behind the till! Good for Asda (Sorry, not very curmudgeonly.)
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
I refuse to use the self service checkouts on principle even on the few occasions I only have a few items. I prefer people to machines and, generally speaking, SM staff here are helpful and friendly.
I did once walk out of a supermarket leaving a full trolley of goodies for them to sort out. Safeways in Pinner in the mid 80s. Cashier being rude and unhelpful to the person in front of me and refusing to ask for another checkout to open despite the queue behind me.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

I abandoned a trolley one Christmas. ( I was a good girl and stowed all the perishables safely but not necessarily in the right place). The Santa roasting an open fire music was driving me up the wall😵. It was blissfully peaceful in Waitrose.

Isn't this " oh, I'll bite it to check it's real" the most overplayed cliché pic ever?
