A Sainsbury’s employee has revealed the most annoying things that customers do, reported the Daily Mirror. Speaking on his TikTok channel, Akafi Ali said the most irritating thing that customers do is arrive before the shop opens on a Sunday. He said he is also annoyed when customers say: “I’m never shopping here again”. He remarked: “What am I going to do with that information? Am I supposed to say, ‘no sorry, please come back, we want you?’”

Autonomous car drives off after cop stop
A video showing a driverless car being stopped by the police and then attempting to drive away has gone viral. Cops in San Francisco stopped an autonomous Chevrolet Bolt EV, seemingly because the car’s headlights were not on despite it being dark. After the police discovered there was no one in the car, the autonomous vehicle tries to drive away before pulling over to a stop a few hundred feet away. Ars Technica reported that the car did not receive a ticket.
