Do I not look old enough to load my own trolley???
I have been going to the shops all by myself (i.e. unaccompanied by a grownup!) for at least half a century now. I believe after 50+ years of shopping, I probably know how to go shopping. If I didn't know how to buy food, I'd have died of starvation by now.
So I really do resent the grumpy cashier (that's "grumpy" as in "borderline psychotic"...) telling me just where to park my trolley, and then even grabbing the trolley and shifting it to the angle that HE wanted it. Which was not an angle that suited me at all, as the person actually loading the shopping into the trolley (AND as the customer who was PAYING for the shopping!).
You don't go to Lidl for the quality or for the superb customer service. You put up with the mediocre goods, the long queues, and the rude cashiers, as the price you pay for cheapness.
But you really don't expect the dude behind the till to dictate the precise angle of your trolley! A very weird and sinister experience.
