Fast Lane for Shoppers

I thought this was a joke but its true .

http://www.nottinghampost.com/whats-...m-being-837660

Its for those who get frustrated stuck behind a dawdling Shopper , I think we have all been there , it happened to me today when i went shopping in Town , people who go at a slow pace and then suddenly put the brake on and stop dead in front of you .

I dont think i shall use the shoppers fast lane though , knowing my luck i shall probably trip up ..

Will you use a fast lane when it comes to a shop near you ?
What do you think to the idea

Re: Fast Lane for Shoppers

I wish there were fast lanes in all shopping centres and supermarkets. I would definitely use them so that I could get in and out as quick as possible; and don't get me started on those that sort their purses out at the till.

Who on earth dreams these things up?

Bags I hitch a lift in the lap of a mobility scooter driver ... and that way I won't get cut up when they switch lanes.

I'm happy enough with the self service till in the local supermarket. I can't remember the last time I went to a checkout operator. Doesn't matter how full my trolley is, I still get out of the shop so much quicker.

I think it's a brilliant idea, as long as the slow people don't stand on it in the way.

I could have done with that lane when I was at the shopping centre last weekend trying to make the hair appointment in time (at the other end of the centre). It was like playing pinball or dodgems.


The trouble is that people will completely ignore it and stand looking at their phones nonchalantly while others huff and puff.

They'll have traffic lights and roundabouts next Mort.
