I have noticed that one a lot recently. I assumed it was because everyone is using a phone to compose their text and using the predictive text function. One more app to replace the sheer effort of using one's brain.
Or not using predictive text?
My phones and computers offer a choice of word or spelling if there is one. The Grammarly app will do the same with errors of spelling and grammar.

And can it understand the context of the message and suggest the correct word? Pretty clever if it can when so many humans cannot.

People who park fully laden supermarket trolleys at the checkout then disappear to pick up something they have forgotten which invariably seems to be from the furthest possible corner of the shop! More than once when such a person hasn't arrived back by the time the customer currently being dealt with has finished I've just pushed on by. Also, and I'm sorry but this is virtually exclusively the fairer sex, loading the shopping in bags and only then deciding to dig around in their handbags for their purse and card or cash, and if cash infuriatingly emptying out their change and pedantically counting out every last copper coin! Me, I'll be standing with card in hand after I've loaded my shopping onto the belt and usually paid (contactlessly) before I've even finished packing my bags. A dream to be behind

Exactly the way I do it. Some people really try to make a meal of it. I hate shopping and want to get it over and done with as quickly as possible. Has anyone else noticed that where there is a second belt (ie. one beyond the cashier) it is never actually running? Unless the checker rolls the things down the slope its a damned long reach for muggins at the end of the ramp.

Where possible in the Supermarché I use the automatic tills, unless a big shop. But in town and in the market I enjoy chatting with the commercents. On first name terms with many. It makes the twice weekly markets a pleasure. And of course the other chats with people you meet. My wife will talk to anyone, and usually does!
