Grocery store pet peeves

Why do they hire them? No customers want to even see them let alone interact with them, I don't go to meijer anymore because they have one as a greater that's way too fucking "friendly". And then you get customers bringing their downies shopping with them and can't control them they throw tantrums and pester other shoppers. Not to mention they always smell like they shit themselves.

Place item in the bagging area unexpected item in the banging area please wait for assistance

>unexpected item in the banging area

Kinky

When you knock an item over and it makes people look whether the package was damaged or not

Shit is the only reason I hate going to the market because I just want to get in and out without problems but fuck me it's awful

Always have to dig threw the shelf to find the one that the stockfags didn't crush open or damage. Always get strange rooms. Not my fault you fucks can't hire competent employies I'm not buying damaged goods.

Boomers trying to pay with coupons and arguing what they should get marked down/for free.

Having to go to the pharmacy for something and there is a line of boomers who are sustained via a life support system of various medications.

Just die already.

They get shipped to the store damaged

During my childhood there used to be a dumpy retarded guy named Ben stationing the register anytime I went foodshopping with mum. He worked quiet, efficiently and customers liked him, people would tip him too. Ben rarely spoke and couldn't stand still, he'd be rocking back and forth 24/7 almost as if hes dancing.

Then came the fateful day, during a thunderstorm the power went out tripping store alarms on & locking doors. This guy turnt into predator in the jungle, screeching and attacking everybody around him. Most of us managed to escape through the fire exit. Unlucky shoppers caught tasty bites, cuts and one child managed to knock over the lobster tank, sad to say he didn't survive. The other workers barricaded themselves behind the milk rack living on to tell the tale of what happened, when power restored ben was escorted out and never seen again.

>buying groceries
>qt cashier starts scanning items
>theres still 7 items left to go
>Your total is "14.78"
Was crazy shit.

>no one at the deli counter

>those people who wheel their carts perfectly into the middle of an aisle and stand there slowly studying the same brand of whatever food
>you can't wheel your cart past them

>those two carts that are perfectly aligned on either end of an aisle and near each other, roadblocking it perfectly, and neither one is walking forward or back

>that mom who lets her kid just fucking run around
>he runs down an entire aisle or stands in the middle of aisles grabbing shit and blocking carts
>"heehee come here honey" she says in a low, half-hearted voice as he ignores her

i have many grievances, and those grievances are a big reason i never, ever go grocery shopping during rush hour / popular days unless there's some sort of major sale

Obnoxious Jews (not all but many of them), nosy (mostly Christian) proselytizers who won't shut the fuck up when you're just trying to buy eggs, Chinese tourists who push you out of the way, baby boomers, cashiers who will talk with customers for 10+ minutes when there's a line. Generally people who regard going to the grocery store as a social event like Shoppers is a community center. Customers who ask about what you're making for dinner.

I could go on and on.

On the other hand, I like seeing Tibetan monks on iPhones and parents who collaborate with their toddlers who can barely talk on what to have for dinner.

you live in nyc, i assume.

When people look at what's in my cart

Nah but it's a heavily diverse urban area. I think I'd have killed myself by now if I lived in NYC.

People who casually talk to the cashier, even after it’s all paid and ready to go, even though there is a huge line behind, even though the cashier seriously doesn’t give a fuck about your favorite cupcake brand or your daughter’s dog’s impressive tricks.

youre trying real hard there my possibly jewish friend

not that user, but how are the tiger bread rolls, which are baked instore, that all, each and every single one of them have had a thumb pushed down through the centre of them, thus ruining them, "shipped to the store damaged"?????????????

...

>several years ago
>im barely 21 shopping with my 22 year old gf
>it's a small store so no self checkouts
>we're buying beer but I have no ID on me so I make sure not to even touch it since I know how finicky some places are
>get the downie cashier
>asks both of us for ID
>tell him I'm not even purchasing the stuff
>URGHGH IT DOESN MATTER U NEED ID FER BEER
>politely tell him I don't have my ID but that also not the one buying yet again
>YOU NEED ID FOR BEER OR CAN'T BUY
>he actually sounds a little bit angry so we just say fine and don't buy the beer so the retard will stop sperging out
Why don't we just euthanize these wastes of space again?

If it’s a place that sells clothing, there’s always, without exception, an older muslim women in the line who’s bought a million pieces that all take forever to scan because they need to remove the alarm tags.

People who speak to you in the line can go to hell.

People who walk slowly side by side down the broad aisles.

People who bring use the self-checkout despite having more than 10-15 items.

Slow cashiers piss me off the most. I worked a few years in a supermarket and even if it’s a shit job it’s still no excuse to not do it well.

>self checkouts all say 12 items or less
>there's always at least one strong independent 99 year old who don't need no cashier using one despite having 200 items
These people are the fucking worst. There was one time that there were 2 broken checkouts, and the 4 available were all taken by ancient old farts with a million items each. I actually stood in line for 10 minutes and watched them. One couldn't figure out how to weigh their produce, another couldn't seem to press the touch screen buttons and would push their finger into the screen as hard as they can repeatedly. And finally, there was one who couldn't figure out where to put in their cash for several minutes despite the thing flashing green and being nearly at eye level. I hate old people.

>walking around without ID
You're an idiot for going up to the cashier with your gf. Most people know to wait outside if they're young and don't have ID.

Downie cashier? That you, buddy? What are you doing on Veeky Forums, you little scamp? Does your handler know you're on here?

Rreeeeeeeeeeee I hate this.

Are you autistic dude, they're supposed to card you, you just lucked out and got a rule following cashier shit happens, pretty funny how your so asshurt, is it because a fucking teenager knows better than you?

>Act retarded
>Blame the responsible retard
That's rich

You don't card someone that isn't paying and hasn't touched the product, that'd be retarded. That would mean you literally could never buy alcohol if you take your kids shopping with you.

.t never worked as a cashier
Also, in some states it's legal for the parent to give a minor alcohol as long as they're the ones to do it.

Wrong. If a group of people are buying alcohol, and they are obviously getting it together you have to card all of them. Because if the cops bust them later, and the person who paid is over 21, but the people who were with him in the checkout were not, the store is still liable

t. Downie

Yeah. Cashiers card everyone like they're instructed to.

>Group of younger people come in
>Buy beer, only 1 of 15 has ID
>Ask who has been tagged by beer
Stores don't operate on trust, and your state alcohol board operates on deception. Sorry you haven't matured into reality yet.

Incorrect. Better luck next time, downies.

>Persistent moron
It's almost admirable. BTW, get a job and stop living off of fat roasties.

It's not his fault. Many chromosome accurate cashiers would have done the same thing. It's the law. Next time carry your ID, or like the other user said, wait outside. That's right, user, YOU are the retard.

This, unironically

I like to go late at night like an hour before closing to avoid contact with people due to various austims. Recently they stopped having anyone work the checkout lanes after a certain time and they funnel EVERYONE through the self checkouts. Watching these poor mongoloids being forced into ringing up their entire baskets filled with with shit makes me want to pound nails through my eyes. Meanwhile there's like 5 employees just standing around shooting the shit with eachother.

God I hate this country.

t. Never worked in a store

Dude you're a literal idiot. Just accept it.

>God I hate this country
What cunt

They are forced to ID to stop adults buying booze with the intention of giving them to underaged dipshits like yourself. This has been a thing for a long time, usually to stop betas grooming young teenage girls.

...

Black peoples, elderly people. That’s pretty much it. Unless we’re counting having 30 lanes but only having 4 of them open because yeah fuck that shit.

complaining about a suprior lifeform whilst being clearly inferior to saif superior lifeform
calling superior lifeform retarded

really made me pokeafingerupmybum

When I go to a store the first of the month. Nothing but niggers, spics and other shitskins filling up the lines, and they almost always have nothing but prepared frozen meals, junk food, and sugary drinks.

doubt they've ever worked with that self important me me me me me attitude

Just pretend you were baiting and fuck off you fucking waste of space

I bet your gf is uggo too lmao

When I stocked shelves I purposely destroyed things. Especially things they won't know have been destroyed until they open them at home.

Same. When i stocked the candy i would purposely break up the chocolate bars. Or i would shake the potato chips so they'd be nothing but crumbs

>unexpected items in the banging area
This is a real cock blocker

we have a Jester strike in my area.

fucking unions ruin everything

lmao m8, good story

y tho?

Fuck customers.

The people lineup to get free samples at Costco on a already busy Saturday.

That's what I trained while working in Texas. I never actually carded anyone else unless they were a obnoxious yuppie. Felt good too. The tard did his job better than I did.

People who poke holes in the plastic on top of the cases of water I buy so the plastic rips as soon as I try loading it into car/house.

Seriously what the fuck.

Old people hogging the discount shelf
Stupid fucking boomers

Can you not just look at it and check to make sure it has no holes before you buy it?

I do and they all have fucking holes because people can’t control their fucking kids

>they all have fucking holes
You must live in the ghetto or some shit. Take one from a higher rack that they can't reach, or take one of the cases that's stacked below the ones they poked, or take one from way in the back.

Working just increased my self of entitlement. Now all my outrage is justified because my boss and my coworkers are retarded and my job is shit and I'm not a neet because I have a job, so my opinion holds slightly more weight and I feel better about not doing anything to better myself.

Fucking help me, please.

>For me, it's everyone.

This.

>tfw you force yourself to go before 9am because it becomes a fucking zoo after then

Why not go at night?

We're trying not to run into minorities of questionable legalities here.

I used to stock shelves, and I would have been embarrassed to work with you. What contemptible faggots.

I worked graveyard shift at a gas station in the middle of a drug town. Fuck customers

It's called being a shitty teenager. I work retail and have worked with a few 17/18 year olds and they're always huge dumbasses. Makes me wonder if I was that bad at that age.

>slow cashiers
That's what I fucking love about living in Germany, chasiers are always fast as fuck. People who can't keep up can just throw everything in the cart and sort it out later.

>People ripping apart perfectly fine packs of 6 cans
It’s a common thing here so people could buy 1 or 2 cans instead of a whole pack. It pisses me off because people would rip apart other packs instead of just finish the already ripped pack.

aldi?

You should've said your gf was your mom

This is a incredibly stupid practice, but sometimes you get a cashier who does it and it’s fucking stupid

You're a grown man taking his retail job seriously. I don't think you should be calling anyone a dumbass.

What? You're the one going out of your way to fuck with the product, it's both quicker and easier to just do the job properly. I'm sure you'll learn this eventually when you grow up, Timmy.

Just don't go during the first few days of the month. That's when nigga bux come through.

Daily reminder there are more than twice as many whitetrash on ebt than muh scary nogs.

I shop at Whole Foods in an area where there are nothing but white people, so it's pretty smooth sailing. No stories here

...

>I enjoy paying extra for the same products I get elsewhere cause brown people scare me

For me, its criminal scum.

Daily reminder than the nogs make up only 13% of the population so what the fuck were you trying to prove you fucking idiot?

t. ass ravaged alt-righter

>t. ass ravaged alt-righter

I move their trolley.

Get past the awkward factor and life is much more pleasant.

I can guarantee you that those cuffs are a child's toy and he's just fucking around being a little 'tard like kids do.

Meant to reply to

...

chinese women who separate their items into four different transactions and pay for each transaction with two different types of payment and try to argue about using coupons that are clearly not applicable to their items.
