h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

A problem known to all who no longer live with their parents. Very well said, and great use of humour.

You might want to mention something about the actual shopping itself though, as well as just the queue. For instance other peoples children emptying the shelves into Mum's trolley, or the three old ladies that push their trolleys along the aisle side by side at 0.2mph, ensuring access to the homebaking section is totally impossible. And don't forget the weekly re-modeling of the store to be absoloutley certain that you cant find anything you went in for, not to mention Dale winton over in aisle 6 filming supermarket sweep, and therefore restricting access to fresh poulty unless you are a VIP. Maybe talk about the experience of trying to return something at the customer service desk.

What you've written is very comical, and certainly hits home for a lot of people, but you could go so much further just by stretching into those other areas of the supermarket.
