Tired and fed up of constantly bumping into trolleys and/or being run over by other shoppers, going in all different directions, at the supermarket? How about introducing a traffic light system at aisle interchanges, so you can only move when the lights change to green? That would make shopping much
quicker and more orderly. Why not also introduce some one-way systems so that traffic flows more smoothly?

In my experience the problem isn't trolleys going in all different directions, it's people stopping and blocking the traffic flow. Maybe what we need is a minimum speed limit or no-stopping regulations, or a limited waiting period (like in loading/unloading zones). So if you can't find the soup you want in ten minutes, get out of the aisle and let everyone else have a chance. And no more groups of mothers standing gossiping with their trolleys and blocking off the Super Noodles. |

Obviously, introducing licenses for trolley-drivers, and banning old people and children would also be excellent. |

Any system I can think of would cause
me more grief than it would save.
When I'm in my car, traffic lights are the
things that make me wait when they're
red, not the things that let me go when
they're green. |
