Supermarket Tetris
When going around the supermarket I have to make sure that everything stacks corectly into the trolley - you know, so there are no gaps, large items are not on top of small items, heavy items on top of light items, cleaning products not next to fresh food etc. Then when placing the items on the conveyor belt, they also have to be in the right order. When it comes to packing the bags they have to be done in a tetris like way so as not to leave any gaps. This annoys my boyfriend so much he sings the tetris music constantly at me and i think secretly wants to kill me dead right there.

You need my job and you're welcome to it ....
You need to get a job picking from stock and assembling cages in the Tesco warehouse. That would cure you !

This sounds
awfully familiar to me, too.

You want to be careful with this
If you tessellate everything perfectly on the conveyor in a row, they disappear.

I've always had to do that, but my mum pays no regard to it and always puts things on as spaced out as possible, no matter how much I try and fix it.
