What do you hate the most at a grocery store? - Flumper Barflusterbutt - 07-14-2010

1. Those huge fucking shopping carts that have like a kiddie car on the front.



2. The person in front of you that gets to the cashier and says "Oh shit, I just need to get one more thing...."

3. Some kid that screams for 30 minutes that it can't have some oreos.

4. Some lady that blocks an entire aisle while she digs through an encyclopedia of coupons that she has.

5. Some asswipe that gets in the express lane when he clearly has way more than the 10 items.

6. The lady that gets to the checkout, and then waits until the very last minute to realize she has to dig out her checkbook from this camping bag type purse she brought while you now have to wait for her to fill it all out.

7. The thrifty shopper that watches the register as each item is entered so they can figure out which items they are going to have to "put back" to keep it from going over some magic budget number.

8. Kids that push those mini kid carts around and bang them into the back of your heels every time you stop to get something.

9. Signs. Big ones. Everywhere. Used to be there were just little signs here and there to alert you to something on sale. Now there are signs to tell you that something has an "everyday low price".

10. Getting a cart with a bad wheel or one that makes a super loud clicking noise.

11. Pin pads that are located where everyone in the world can watch you enter your pin #. Some places just need a mirror ball and an overhead projector to make it a little more obvious.

12. Having 15 checkout stations and only one of them is open. Well, no one has a light on and you go down to that end and some 15 year old girl watches you unload all your shit on the belt and then says "um, sorry, this aisle is closed".

13. Self checkout lanes when you have to set everything down on that tiny little area after you scan it. And if you don't, it keeps yelling at you to "place your item in the basket".

14. Not being able to find something. Holy shit. All I need is some Rotelle. Is that in the mexican section? The tomato section? With the chips. OMG. Does anyone work in this fucking place? I've been down this aisle three times, I know it has to be around here.

When someone waits until everything is rang up... and then proceeds to write out a check.

I mean really? You couldn't have filled in the name and date while your $200 worth of groceries were being ran threw the scanner?

Can I pick all of them? If not, my choice is anything to do with other people. Thanks.

I wish they had to put them in a kiddie carts instead of putting their nasty asses in that little rack that pulls out on the buggy.

#4 by far. i can't stand it when people have no idea what's going on around them. stopping short right in front of you, leaving their cart in the middle of the aisle while they figure out which flavor of cheerios their fat kids want.

They're virtually impossible to maneuver, I'll give you that. But (in my case) they prevent #3 on your list from happening because he's too busy playing with the steering wheel to realize we stuck Oreos in the basket.

btw - he's never had Oreos, the biggest meltdowns actually come from not letting him have a banana. (sup Leu?)
