Sainbury's - One way system

[LibraCarr]

Hi,

I have just learnt that the DKH store is to introduce a one way system in the store itself. Not content with us scanning our own purchases, they now want us to learn how to avoid congestion in the store.

As you enter the store you will follow large red floor arrows that will take you up and down every aisle (thus ensuring you do not miss any product so as to maximise sales) without causing 'Backdraft' (must be a traffic sale term). It will also ensure that pockets do not occur at the end of each aisle.

In short, I feel that this may be a way forward (Ikea have arrows) but loath the way the big stores dictae to us the way you shop!!

Your comments are welcome.

Regards,

Libra Carr.

1/10 FAIL - SEE ME AFTERWARDS

If this is not a 1/4/09 wind up - then it's going to be fun to challenge the arrows. What can they do - arrest you?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Epic Fail

what if you only want a few things from particular areas?

[Mrs Y]

What happens if you forget an item, do you have to do a whole lap of the store to go back a few aisle's.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Wot no congestion charge?

[David Mc]

I think a race challenge is in order!

[Mrs Y]

As this shop is in East Dulwich, will speed humps be installed.

[David Mc]

Almost certainly!

[KalamityKel]

and those who are reckless will, as usual, ignore them... I guess traffic lights would be a pointless installation...

[Horsebox]

Ban this sick filth.

[KalamityKel]

and the 20mph zones! ::o

[paulino]

this scheme would be more useful in mrs robinson.

[Xena Worried prince]

Will cyclists just ignore all the signs in the store and jump the queues as normal ?

[Cassius]

Will there be special buggy lanes, and what about children who are too young to understand, will their parents be fined?

[Moos]

Will people with unnecessarily large and environmentally dubious trollies push their way past people with baskets?

[Brendan]

Will this system apply on April 1st?

[ianr]

It surely can't apply to Freepersons of ED exercising their right to drive their sheep through the store?

[Ant]

It just goes to show, you can't be too careful.

Sheep ....... One of my work colleagues was phoned yesterday by her partner, who informed her that Brockwell Park was full of cows and that the police could not trace where they had come from.

She was amazed/excited and proceeded to tell everybody within earshot about it until at some point she realised what the date was .....

As for me, I believed it too, I thought it was something to do with the Lambeth Country Show .....

Sorry admin I know it's off-topic but it's quite funny, well I thought so anyway :)

who the hell looks at the floor when shopping , there aint nothing down there!!!

[KalamityKel]

Could break ya neck if you don't occasionally check out the floor space around you what with delightful youngsters rummaging through shelves and chucking the contents on the floor... the death of a grape is sooo dramatic I tell ya!
