What is your biggest pet peeve when going to the grocery store?
I have a few not listed:
Country music being played at the Fareway store.
Self-service checkouts!
Much rather scan myself but I HATE WAITING TO SHOW MY beer I'D @ age 66
Other...I loathe going shopping mid-day or before 7pm. It never fails that I'll get stuck behind (or between) two motorized carts, begging for an opportunity to slide by without seeming too frustrated. I try to keep in mind that one day, I could be in that position...but to no avail, my "male shopping gene" kicks in and I wanna get the fuck outta the store as fast as possible. I am NOT a shopper by any means of the term. I hate it and would rather scrub fifty-eleven toilets.
@orange_girl shit, they need more of that here in Washington! I'd LOVE to avoid the weekly bullshit.
Other shoppers' inability to walk in a straight line or have any awareness whatsoever that there are people around them, and many people's belief that it's acceptable to be rude to shop staff.
R'amen!!
When you're navigating the aisles, and you have to go around some idiot that parks their cart in the middle of the aisle.
That or the stores (Walmart) not caring about the handicapped when placing their merchandise. The Walmart in my town has the aisles so cluttered that it's impossible to get a handicap cart around the store easily.
Shoppers blocking the aisles so as they can have a bloody chat and give you foul looks if you ask them nicely to let you through.
My most enjoyable thing when in the supermarket is to see people trying to decide or select a shampoo. I go up to them, point my shaven head and tell them, " Don't use that one, look what it did to my hair."
