Know what I hate about the grocery store?
How people meander through the aisles, take UP the whole aisle, shuffle along, pondering purchases, but the minute they get up to the register, man if you don't pack up your bags fast enough, they stare you down!!!  Ugh...
Ok, what do YOU hate about the grocery store???

Re: Know what I hate about the grocery store?
OMG- I HAAAAAAAAATE the people on the 10 items or less line with 20 items. A kindergartner can count past 10- what about you.
Also- the lazy @ss who just LEAVES their shopping cart in the parking lot. Walk the extra 20 feet and put it where it's supposed to be......
Ahhhhhhh- me feel much better

Re: Know what I hate about the grocery store?
EVERYTHING!!
I hate the meandering.
I hate when I am taking something off the shelf and someone has to reach in front of me instead of waiting 3 seconds for me to step away.
The people that stop in front of you to look at the same thing I am looking at.
When people line the meat dept with carts while they decide what to get so no one else can look. Which is related to people that stop in the middle of the aisle.
When smaller kids are allowed to push the cart - you know that's hitting someone.
For these reasons & many more are why I heart online grocery shopping!

Re: Know what I hate about the grocery store?
Mainly in the BJs/Costco type stores (and especially in Home Depot)...
If I have hundreds of pounds of dog food, bottled water, juice, etc. or dozens of 10 foot long railroad ties that are hundreds of pounds, I CANNOT stop on a dime because you're not looking where you're going. I CANNOT swerve around you because you are trying to decide which box of nails to buy. It seems like the bigger and heavier the cart, the more invisible you become....

I do this, in FL there is a person specifically hired to get the carts. I feel like if I put it back myself, he will have no work and will get fired.
It's always an olderly retiree and I don't want to mess with their income.

Re: Know what I hate about the grocery store?
I hate people who "shop big"... basically, same as you... like, get the fluck out of my way.
Also, when you are clearly trying to look for something on the shelf-- and the other person is looking for the same thing and their cart is right there-- like, move the cart a foot or two since I have to basically WAIT to shop until you are done since I can't see the stuff on the shelf.
Just this past weekend-- there was this slovenly looking couple with their child in the market. I was in the passover aisle, looking for something specific-- so you need to look at EVERYTHING-- since it's not normal merchandise. They had TWO carts-- one for their kid-- who was lying in the big section and was probably like 5 years old. Then another cart for their food-- although nothing was in it. They had each cart there, blocking my view-- and they were laboring over which jelly candy to get-- orange or raspberry. They clearly saw I was trying to look for something-- and they took their sweet arse time and did not show one shred of consideration for others.

Re: Know what I hate about the grocery store?
The 10 items or less violators really annoy me. When you have 16 individual bottles of water, they do not count as 1 item.
The self-checkout people who cannot follow the very simple directions to complete self-checkout and therefore take twice as long to finish.
The people who just stand there and wait for the cashier to bag things for them. START BAGGING YOUR OWN SH!T!!!

Re: Know what I hate about the grocery store?
People who after they check out have to stand there blocking me from getting through and reorganize their wallet before moving. GET OUT OF MY WAY, so I can bag my crap and get the funk out of here. Reorganize your wallet/pocketbook at home or in the car.

Re: Know what I hate about the grocery store?
I hate trying to park at Whole Foods.
I hate cart surfing through the people who seem to shop with their eyes closed. They walk zombie like at .7 mph and just stop and stare at ish like they can Jedi mind trick it into their carts.

I Cali we have the Clerks Helpers that bag, load your gorceries in your car if you want and retrieve all the carts. That was the first job I ever had. No Tipping allowed .They also are Union workers.

That makes me crazy -- you get on the line when you are DONE shopping. If someone does that in front of me and their turn comes up I bypass them. Their time is not more important then mine.

Re: Know what I hate about the grocery store?
What I hate EVERYWHERE now is kids with the wheelies who smash into me. I know I sound like a disgruntled old lady  but I cannot STAND them smashing into everything!

I hate wheelies! I don't know why, but they seriously annoy me.
I hate people that drive their cart on the "wrong" side of the aisle. So they'll push their cart up the left side of the aisle, when everyone else is on the right side. And then there are those left side drivers who will actually put their cart right next to someone else's (on the right side) while they stand there looking up and down the shelf for their item. Meanwhile, the whole aisle is being blocked now by these 2 carts, while numnuts is off in space searching for their item. Last weekend I had to say "excuse me" to some lady so I could get by, so she moves her cart, then puts it right back where it was! So the couple behind me also had to say "excuse me" and jackass did the SAME thing again!!!! Idiots!!!!
I HATE those giant car shopping carts for the kids (and yes, I have a kid). Those things are too friggin' big.
I also hate what someone else mentioned about blocking the meat section with carts.
And parking at Whole Foods blows. I have to park like 3 parking lot sections away from the store because it's always crazy crowded.

I HATE this! One of my first jobs was as a cashier at stop and shop and I'd get so mad when the people would stand there and WATCH me bag their stuff.
I also don't like the people that meander and the ones that stop in the middle of the aisle. The people that don't return the cart bother me too, but it's the ones that are literally parked right next to the cart coral and they put the cart in the empty space next to them that irk me.

Beth, they're actually banned from the Stop and Shop closest to us. There's a sign on the door when you first walk in
