-- Things You Hate When In A Super Market?
Pages (4): « 1 2 [3] 4 »

Recently (within the past year or so) the local albertsons supermarket put in four 'self checkout' things. I hate those. Half the time one or two are out of order, and the rest of the time, if you buy something wihtout a UPC code, like lettuce or carrots or eggplant or whatever, the stupid machine wont recognize it, and will just sit there saying "put item in bag".

Wtf is up with that?

I hate it when the moron cashiers can't fucking bag my groceries so the bags don't break when I am taking them to my apartment.

I even say most of the time, "can you please make them walking friendly?" I swear the little bitch whores do it on purpose.

Ohhhh, one time I went to the cashier that also sells cigarettes. I had quite a bit of groceries, but there was no one waiting and the ONE other cashier was busy, so I figured it wouldn't be a problem. After I get all of the stuff unloaded she says "you aren't supposed to bring your groceries here!"

Shut the fuck up and ring my groceries in!!

I looked at her and was like "there is no one waiting, there is no sign saying a certain amount of groceries or less, and I have seen many people bring their groceries here. What is the problem?" She was all rude and replied "I deal with customer service, lottery and tobacco." I muttered "sorry", but I couldn't help but wonder what she called ringing my groceries through... is that not "customer service"??

Argh!

We have those here and they work awesome. If I have a medium load, I prefer to use those.

high protein diet

this probably has been said but i'm gonna say it again anyways. .

MOTHER******'S WHO BLOCK TRAFFIC ALONG THE AISLE'S !!

When the aisles get rearranged. FFS the last time they did that I spent the longest time ever in a supermarket just looking for the few items I needed.

+ fuckin 1

people who go over the limit in the express check-out lane... whether it's 10 items or 15 items you better count that shit before you start throwing your groceries on the conveyer belt. i always stand behind people and i'll count out how many items they have, and if it's over the limit i always give them the nastiest look possible.

i also hate when there's no express lanes open and i'm holding a can of Red Bull and a frozen pizza, and the person in front of me has 4 little kids and a cart over-flowing with shit, yet they still won't let me go ahead of them.

i always try to go grocery shopping around 9 or 10pm to avoid old people, little kids, and generally everyone else as well.

I hate when I go to the supermarket and nobody is giving out free samples. Don't these people know I'm hungry?!?!

It used to be that you could go to Sam's club on a Saturday afternoon and get FULL on like a seven-course sampling meal.


*sigh*

old people that completely ignore all others, parking their lil' karts
in the middle of the freakin' aisle and when you ask them to move give you the evil eye...

i got yelled at once for double-sampling at Sam's Club.

I'm sure you remember the simpsons episode

Bart "so what is this food"
Woman "It's fudge, like it was last week"
Bart "Well if you're going to be rude i'll take my business elsewhere, see you next week" *grabs trayfull of fudge then walks off

The worst moment at a grocery store is when you're waiting and the stupid cashier starts going for the little switch that blinks her number for manager help. It's like slow motion and Im yelling 'NooOoooO" really slow and diving to just cover my hand over the switch, at lease in my day dream.

Another horrible thing is when you walk up to the registers and scope out the lines and pick the line that is shortest thinking. "Yes Im not gonna have to wait!" but then the lady at the register is just taking her time talking and double bagging every single item that people in front of you have. You then glance at another line you could have been in and notice you could have made it through by then. You picked the wrong line and now you are paying for it.

Oh and to rant about something else, the customer service in the mid west is like 100% better than the east coast. I swear if I was the manager of some of these stores I would fire all their lazy asses here in the east.

i mean yea, i've gone with 11 a few times, but that's the cut off.


and just slow people and old people in general who think they are the only shopper in the store.

We've just had that today. Woman was at the checkout with about 5 items of fruit. stood right back so we couldn't put our stuff out on the belt. Looked down her nose at us & turned her back on us. my nana wanted me to ram her with the trolley but i thought of a better idea. I got the "next customer please" sign, put it on the belt then began sliding my stuff down to push against hers. She soon shifted & let me do it properly. Then she paid in cash & stood counting her change even though the woman had just counted it out to her, like she'd been conned or something. Ignorant cow.

don't know if anyone posted this one yet, but...

getting hit in the back of your ankles by a shopping cart being pushed around by a little kid who thinks its a race car.

also came close to this today. One woman was with her daughter & her 2 grandkids were running amok in the vegetable section. I wanted to run the little bastards down as they were picking things up & throwing them into the wrong place, and this woman seriously picked 30 loose carrots up before going through 28 of them to pick just 2 to buy.
