The line merge is one of the more obnoxious incarnations of this scenario.
That is, when you arrive to a check stand with a pack of gum at about the same time as someone else with their children and oxen carrying several shopping carts full of stuff; they clearly see you with fewer items, but they just pretend to not notice as they insist on going ahead first. |

the stupid charity people i don't give a about & they nag you with wanting 'a few cents' or the black guys with pixie sticks for the church--
so i have to walk in with sunglasses and COMPLETELY ignore them as they're saying "Ma'am would you like to--"
:stongue: oh well. |

lol, as 17sss FORGOT to mention [:mad:] ..
it's the lady that takes up 2 epochs at the register giving the cashier a trillion coupons she's collected, which half are already expired & she insists are still fine for her 10 carts of kitty litter-
as the entire line is waiting & sighing & giving her the stink eye.
coupon lady :nervous: |

the lady (usually over 60 but you never know) who has about 50 different clipped coupons for $0.20 off here, $0.10 off there.... usually giving her about $3.00 in total savings. But it takes a lot of time for the chashier to go through each coupon because so often, they have the wrong ones... expired ones... or coupons for the right brand but the wrong specific product.
Then the goddamn manager has to come over and sort it out.
Edit: i like your description too, Yukii... lol |

Ok, gotcha. I don't think we really have coupon like that here. Not at the supermarkets that I go to, anyway.
But yeah, that would piss me off. Oh man, this thread is making me angry. ers at the supermarket :mad: |

Yeah, but even then, this is still only the first half of the process.
The next phase begins "oh, but I thought this was..." when the total is beyond what she expected because she either misread or misunderstood the coupon, and so the manager gets called over in order to make those 10 carts of kitty litter even cheaper. |

I usually try to go during odd hours, when most folks'd either be at work or asleep. That allows me to generally avoid most of the nuisance associated with obtaining the requisite groceries.
If someone's blocking the aisle anyway, I usually try to at least give them a token "excuse me," albeit in the most accusatory tone of voice I can muster. If that doesn't achieve prompt compliance, I'll move the obstruction myself. For dramatic purposes, I like picking an entire cart up off the ground from the side by grabbing each end, then just dropping it at the side of the aisle. Those things make quite a racket when dropped from even a foot or two off the ground, and I never get sick of the look on people's faces... |

Especially when there's a baby sitting in the cart. |
