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......



I do this if I have the kids with me and wasn't able to park next to the cart return. I will put it at the front of the spot so that someone else can pull in, but I won't leave my kids alone in the car.

If I'm alone I always return it.

What I hate EVERYWHERE now is kids with the wheelies who smash into me. I know I sound like a disgruntled old lady Chat Icon Chat Icon but I cannot STAND them smashing into everything!



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 Chat Icon



Years ago I had a student who wore RollerBlades in the supermarket with his parents, fell and broke his leg and tried to sue the market. Mind you, this student was getting occupational therapy for balance and sensory issues and he also had MAJOR gross motor problems BEFORE the fall. Great parenting skills.Chat Icon

As for me, I hate the person who has ONE thing and they want to cut in front of me when I have three things. My two extra items will NOT make you late for your tennis lesson sweetie. You must have really needed that hand lotion BAD!

I hate the frozen and dairy aisle where you are fine walking around the other aisles but I freeze in those aisles but not much can be done about that.

The whole thing, going, shopping, lugging it all upstairs and then the cherry on the sundae, putting it away.

OK- PLEASE don't take this as an attack- but what about bringing your kids with you to the cart return? You had to bring them to get the cart in the first place, right? Again, no attack- just trying to understand the line of thinking.

I have a 2 year old and a 9 month old and can't carry them both at the same time through a parking lot back to the car. And yes, my 2 year old might dart off so I carry her. She gets excited and doesn't pay attention all the time, and is surprisingly strong.

And no, I don't carry them to get the cart. I usually find a parking spot next to the cart return, if I can't park there I park where someone else has left a cart before, and if I can't do either of those I go back home and try another day.

ETA: I really do try to leave them home b/c it's just easier for me, but once in a while I really can't put it off until the weekend and Dairy Barn doesn't have what I need.

People who just leave their cart in the middle of the aisle and seem to wander off somewhere. I also hate when people stand this close to you in the checkout aisle!

The people who just stand there and wait for the cashier to bag things for them. START BAGGING YOUR OWN SH!T!!!



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 couldn't disagree more with this. I have no problem helping bag the groceries, as I often do...but when those p u n k high school kids don't put one darn thing in a bag when the open bag is right next to them I absolutely refuse to do their job for them. They are the ones getting paid to do it, not just stand there like a i d i o t. Oh, and it doesn't take a brain surgeon to know that that soda bottles don't get packed on eggs and meat products shouldn't get packed with anything else!
