should have a "pass" that means they have priority in a queue at the weekend over people who could go anytime in the week?(e.g. saturday morning in the post office or barber/hairdressers)
im sorry but i get well p*ss*d off when i go to the post office or barbers the only day i can and i have to queue up behind 2 dozen retired people , fulltime housewives and anyone else that could simply go in the week!
why do they have to go on a saturday???
this could work for shopping at tesco's etc . "express till for the employed"
i think this would encourage those who can to go at other times to ease the pressure of britains already over stressed workforce.and would give everybody more time

Uh, no.
First, how do you know what other people's schedules are?
How is this going to be enforced? What sort of proof does a person need to, say, buy milk on a Saturday that they are at work M-F?
What I think you need to do is to realize that waiting is a part of the whole process, rather than always assuming you never have to wait.
If you figure in wait time as part of the deal, and take something to read while you wait, it wouldn't make you so mad at all those people who are engaged in perfectly correct, appropriate, legitimate behavior.
It's already in the best interest of people who can do do their errands while most people are working to do so, as they don't have to wait for you.
That's not always possible, though.
Your expectations are unrealistic; they are what need to be changed.

I don't shop on Saturday`s if i can help it i hate fighting to get pass the crowds ,but many mother`s who don't work have to shop on Saturdays because its the only day when their partner is at home so they don't have to drag the little ones to the shops with them
You have also got to remember most people are paid on a Friday so they haven't got the money to go shopping in the middle of the week

Should the self employed and your employers who don't even get Saturdays off take precedence over the employed? I am sick of standing behind the employed who have Saturdays and lunchtimes off when I have to work, so bog off back to your cosy little jobs and let me be first in the queue.

Do you KNOW their retired, housewives and full time moms.? I can't speak for them but I would be there on the weekdays if I could because I don't like standing in line either! I don't think they do as well so I would have to assume that there is some reason that prevents them for going on a weekday. Maybe a job?

People who are employed work, pay tax for those who don't, queue with people who have all their time... You know, working and sucking are synonyms. So as long as we have to work we have to suck as well. And the retired, unemployed and others can put up a last finger at the whole system by making a nuisance of themselves. That's all they have left ...
Jese, I'm tired too today

I think old people would say you are cheeky.
Alot of them fought for us in the wars so I don't think your comment would go down to well.
Que es are annoying but its something we all just have to deal with.
Its selfish and ignorant people like you who give other people a bad name.
Whats gives you the right to try and dictate how people should spend there days.
Maybe if you just stayed in and never came out then the world be be that little bit better.
You should be dam right ashamed off yourself.

Oh good grief! The retired have worked their ****s off all their adult lives, perhaps even fought for their country and might even now be caring for their elderly relatives or grandchildren. So I say if they want to go to the shops on Saturday let them, they've earned it.

We all have different time schedules. The 'unemployed' are not trying to make your life worse, they are just trying to get through their own day. Perhaps you need to ask yourself why YOU are in such a terrific hurry that everybody else must be mindful of YOUR needs?

try getting to the barbers when they just open
that way you don't have to wait on 2 dozen other people
or you can bring a couple of good books

No, i think that would be very demeaning. retired people have spent their whole lives working, why should they be treated like 2nd class citizens because they are no longer in employment?
your time is no more valuable than anyone elses.
