To get a queue to form behind you in Costcutter, just follow these easy steps:

Take out a mobile phone contract for at least a year, or until you've forgotten some of the subtleties of Pay As You Go.
Drop back down to a Pay As You Go tariff at the end of the contract.
Forget that you have to link your new e–top–up card to your phone.
Pick out some food and try to top–up using the card when you go to the appropriate checkout (i.e. the ones by the alcohol that have the top–up machines).
Be prudent and check the top–up recipt, only to discover that's it's failed and you need to register it.
Have a manager called over to refund your twenty pounds.
Take two steps towards the door before remembering you should have a carrier bag.
Reach back and grab your shopping
Leave the store, patting your pockets and checking your wallet to make sure you haven't forgotten anything else.

All in all, a pretty good day…
