I always go through every pocket for my wallet, when I want to pay but it's always the last pocket. I do have some deep pockets or many pockets when suited and booted.
I have never been prodded by a stick. Years ago, I did get my bum spanked by some old Italian lady in a gesture so I could move down the aisle.
I bet when Wyot, goes to the meat counter he talks in a lot of Polari and double entendre when talking about meat.
Why would Wyot talk in polari, and more importantly, what supermarket still has a proper butcher's counter?
Wyot uses Polari so he can make young men and women blush when he talks about meat. 
My local Waitrose has both a fresh fish and meat counter and not that overall expensive. If you go later in the day but I understand people have better things to do worry about, than getting cheap knuckles or beef.
Not all supermarkets are the same Barney, people need to budget and some people do care where their food is sourced from. A lot of supermarket is processed crap. |

Our local Waitrose, alas, is a magnet for solipsists. They make it really clear they hate it if you're where they want to be, but then happily hog that space for ages once you've vacated it.
Yeah but they are very polite solipsists in Waitrose. The solipsists in ASDA not so much..
Ha, not in my experience. I was there the other day, and some off-duty bourgeois, resplendent in raspberry cord trousers etc, very dramatically moved my trolley away from the aisle so he could study the range of creams on offer. No speaking. Just the gesture. The pompous twit!
No doubt he got his clothes from a charity shop.  |

My main Waitrose is marvellous with fully manned meat AND fish counters, both always stocked. |
