Yes, Bill, why do those shelves have to be so high? However, I'm not one to take second choice goods. I have gone down the 'asking a tall bloke' route, but nowadays I climb if possible! LOL! Take yesterday - the last bottle of V8 vegetable juice was at the back of the top shelf, so I shifted a carton of orange juice to make foot space on the bottom shelf and stepped up to reach what I wanted. If the supermarket doesn't like it, tough! I can't help being 5 foot 3! [
