People over the age of 70 should be banned from using trolleys in supermarkets.

The worse ones are the side pushers while on the phone taking up double the amount of space.
Then the online trolleys.
Then the 70 year olds .
 
People that are retired should be banned from shopping centres on weekends. You've had all week to do it, morning, afternoon and even the evening. Causing bottlenecks with their slow movement and tendency to gather with the other pensioners and taking two hours to eat and drink. Leave the weekends for those that are busy during the working week.

LOL, I've seen over 70s in better physical and mental shape than a lot of people under 40. The state of health of people today is deplorable.

Only about trolleys. Seriously a defensive line of pensioners with trolleys would look after Patrick Mahomes like nothing we’ve ever seen!

My dad will fight you on this. 'I've paid taxes all me life, I deserve blah blah'.

Yeah just go to the shops on Tuesday morning. The reason that Garden City is packed on Saturday is because it's a major centre and is full of people who were working during the week. Go elsewhere. Go at a different time. The thing I don't get is he worked mostly business hours for 40 years and not once in my childhood do I remember him wanting to go anywhere near a busy shopping centre let alone on Saturday.

Oldies do the same thing at the post office, bank etc. The only reason I would be at the post office at 830am or 450pm is because of the opening and closing hours and planning around work. If I can go at 10am or something when there are no queues, I do. Going at peak times just to pay a phone bill is pretty infuriating. If I am home and need to do errands I am also not choosing to do them around school run times either. Sometimes it's unavoidable, but I am not going out of my way to go to Coles 20 minutes after school finishes.

If you go to the shops in the morning during the week you have your pick, too. Bakery, butcher etc. are all open and shelves are usually well stocked.

I don't use a trolley. I have a store basket on my lap and my AgedCare helper pushes me around the store in my transport chair to pick out my groceries. People should keep to the God damn left in the aisles. This ain't America!

BTW I was being flippant earlier, I’m glad you get the help you need to do the shopping. But yes I’m hearing you on keeping left!

When I was back in the states I used to tell my niece and nephew that I had invented a game to play in the supermarket - points for hitting people with the cart(trolley). It was 1 point for young people(teens), 2 points for middle aged people, 3 points for kids and 5 points for old people. I no longer would encourage that game. 😀
