Good oh, why not exclude women from the discussion even more

Women cannot be a grumpy old man

Yes, I did think it should be "Grumpy Old Persons", or, "Grumpy Old People".

But, I did not say anything, in case I was accused of being old

As a child, I remember going on holiday (nothing foreign, a bus trip to Cumbria) and watching a Blacksmith shoe a Shire horse, which was used for Ploughing the fields.

Later in life, one of my Work Mates, his father was a Farrier, in Northumberland.

Those jobs have (mostly) disappeared now, along with Scribes, Comptometer Operators, Lamp Lighters...... etc.

Never seen a horse go through a self-service farriers.

Stand at the till and pack your bag. fark them. You're the customer, you're parting with money, it's up to them to meet the needs of customers. Don't give a toss how they do it in Germany, perhaps they could adopt the novel idea of employing enough staff and having more than one checkout open.

A friend of mine has that attitude... but he seems to enjoy being an arse in shops and doesn't seem to realise the negatives of people thinking he's a bit of an arse.
