I WISH women shoppers who line up with a few items in a supermarket queue would have their money ready to pay.

They surely must have some idea about how much they are spending and wouldn't have to faff about holding everyone up while they search through their bag for their purse and their purse for their cash when the bill comes through.

It's especially infuriating in the shops which have few checkouts manned and overlong queues.

And it's as bad as those who pay by credit or switch cards for the sum of £2.42.
