Grocery store

Why do women ram their shopping carts around the store in a full-speed demolition-derby-style charge attack?

Because if they stop sick creeps like you would walk up and try to hit on them

I live in a college town and the grocery store is always full of qt girls. It's honestly distracting. Where I grew up, grocery stores were always full of soccer moms, old people, and dads on a beer run.

True though I would probably just stair stepper her ass.

having a lot of people around, i usually go on days and times when most people don't go shopping

When they don't laugh at my jokes
>they try to ring up an item
>it doesn't ring up
>Guess it must be free then, huh?
>cold stare
Rude.

>Thank you for shopping at Giant®, do you have a Giant® rewards card today?

>No, just this regular sized one

My father has been using the same "This chick is checking me out!" joke at the register for about 20 years now

when cashier qt scans too slowly for me to consider going into his line

The main think that pisses me off is when people just stop right in the middle of the god damn aisle to look at shit or have a lengthy conversation.

I actually went to Costco this morning and they have all the electronics and clothes right in the front as you come in with your cart. Literally every time I go there, there's always this fucking bottleneck caused by multiple shitheads who slowly walk at a snail's pace up the main aisle to get into the rest of the store, staring at all the clothes and electronics, or they just fucking stop and wander off to look at shit, leaving their carts right in the middle of the aisle so everyone else has to move around them while navigating all the rest of the slow as fuck assholes who won't get out of the fucking way so people can get past them. I've also noticed that a large majority of the time, the people doing this shit are all either indian or asian. I went a few weeks ago and this fucking indian family had their cart lengthwise across half of the main aisle right in the front while the husband and wife were standing there yelling at each other in hindu or whatever with their three kids, all of them standing in the other half of the aisle. Meanwhile there's like 10 of us with our carts all backed up, waiting for them to get out of the fucking way. Some guy in front of me pushed their cart to the side to get past and the indian guy got all offended and started getting all in the other guy's face talking to him in some broken english nonsense.

Not really. I'm sorry you're too illiterate to read more than one line at a time.

No

>I've also noticed that a large majority of the time, the people doing this shit are all either indian or asian.
Dated a Poo, married a Gook, fuckers are completely unaware. A man could make a good living stealing IPhones and purses in Chinatown.

So here's a question: is there anything that the stores themselves do that piss you off? I ask because I was recently offered the opportunity to take over my local small-town store, and I'm seriously considering it (mostly because the current owners are fucking idiots, but that's besides the point). I'm aware of complaints the locals have, but I feel a broader perspective is a good thing to have so that any changes I might make won't fall into the trap of making the store worse.

Stocking at peak hours, leaving pallets in front of selling space while no stocking is happening, and not adequately training staff on what an apple is, or how zucchini and cucumbers are different.

Why the fuck are people incapable of walking on the right side of the isle? or at least getting the fuck out of the way so people can pass?or pushing their cart to the side so other people can get by? Yesterday i had to venture into a Walmart and some meat mountain was walking in the middle of the isle on the left side barking into her cell phone walking slow as fuck. i really can't deal with this stuff any more and looked at her dead in the eyes and said "scuse' you" and squeezed by slightly bumping into her basket. She probably didn't even notice she was so oblivious to the world around her.

>need a brick of cheddar for stuff
>find section labelled "CHEESE" but not what I'm looking for
>turns out there is a le artisan smoked gourmet cheese section and a normal cheese section that's on the opposite end of the store
>go to buy canned black beans
>find "BEANS" aisle
>all there is are canned ketchup beans because the normal beans are with the pasta and soup stuff

>go to grocery store
>realize it must be food stamp day
>full of brown people loading up carts with individually packaged bags of chips, cookies
>whatever is left over they use on steaks and shrimp and other expensive products

I'm convinced that the only reason stores stock so much meat is because of food stamps

In Leafistan they just give them money instead of stamps, I've been trapped behind sickly, pale looking women holding up the cashier to spend five minutes picking out and redeeming scratch cards at least a few times

Read vvv

Also annoying is brand dedicated aisles that mix random products. Also employees just ambush stocking things on shelves in wrong price tag area, as in the salt free version squeezes itself above the normal version tag, or same with various flavours, so you occasionally grab wrong thing in hurry.

As dumb as the average american?

Do they not have to leave after buying scratch cards? I've been behind a gang of old ladies in a tiny local shop who would buy/scratch/redeem/repeat at the till. Fucking infuriating.

Mexicans

What they do is buy the cards one at a time and then just scratch off the stupid strip thing that tells you if it's a winner or not while the cashier is reaching for the next scratch card

If I owned a store I'd tell them it's a fucking drug store checkout not a casino table get your shit and go to the back of the line but I guess it's not a big enough problem for most people to care

>be me
>shopping
>young man walks by, sees me
>looks at my empty sleeve and one eye
>says "get better bro"
>takes the last jar of peanut butter

When I drop my unicorn frappuccino and the freaking idiet employee of the store excepts me to pick it up my self like shut up stupid ass wagecuck and d o your chob.

No shit, it's okay to move their cart. Even if they're standing right there. Just move it. What the fuck are they gonna do? If they start yelling at you just walk the fuck away like you were trying to do in the first place.

when the person doing the bagging puts some random item in with the raw meat

People who fucking block everything with their gaggle of children and enormous fucking shop-along retard trolley.
>Y'all mind if I have a conversation with someone I ran into so that i can maximize the space I am taking up and not pay any attention to my surroundings?

>in line at cashier
>old woman who looks like she weighs the same as her age is behind me with a cart
>feel the cart push against my ass
>take a half step forward to make room
>cart bumps me again
>take a big step forward and pretend to not notice anything instead look at the tabloid magazine headlines and impulse buy stuff
>cart is pressing against me again

When I'm 90 I think I'll do this on purpose

Poor, obese Mexican women who let their respective litters of poor, obese Mexican children run roughshod all over the store, and then when you run into them at the checkout they're buying a fuckton of Bimbo-brand pastries for their kids and proceed to pay for them via EBT.

Gain some muscle, my man. The only reason someone walks on the wrong side of an aisle is because they want to project power over a complete stranger.

Post gains, simply stopping and staring at them helps them go back to the proper lane. Without gains, they'll just run right into you. If you are a female, just sue them or get a boyfriend.

>i really can't deal with this stuff any more and looked at her dead in the eyes and said "scuse' you"

Also, did you say this in a proper masculine voice, a weak numale whisper, or a weak passive-aggressive harpy squawk?

She is doing it on purpose.

Is she going to be okay?

Americans shitting themselves in the aisles

Customers are completely blind and deaf and your store layout should keep this in mind.

If possible have all registers in 1 line, do not stack them 2 deep. Customers are incapable of seeing the registers behind the first row. This goes for self checkout as well. You will need a loud and boisterous employee to direct customers to open self checkout registers.

Keep all like items together if possible like suggests. This makes it easier for stockers and customers. Consider having a store map on your shopping carts.

It's a shitty job but you need to be on your employees when it comes to unloading, especially frozen shit. I have stopped going to certain stores because of too many cases of re-frozen ice cream and partly melted chocolate.

Hygiene is super fucking important. Anyone working the front end needs to bathe and groom themselves every day.
It's mean to say but the majority of Indian people smell like rancid ramen noodles and it's fucking disgusting.
Clean your bathrooms multiple times a day. Check them every hour. Basically just be as clean as possible.

Old people, niggers, spics, white trash

I will never go into a walmart again

>black people
will have their entire family walk in a wall formation and block anyone from getting around them. they will not move an inch even if they see you
>white people
stands in front of the canned tomatoes and ponder for minutes. usually slow
>mexicans
honestly the only tolerable people i see at the grocery store. theyll actually say excuse me if they are in the way

rarely do i have any white women bother saying a word to me unless they think im hot, which i guess is fine. i dig hot moms

all you have to do is leave your cart behind you. wala

No, she's old, she'll die soon.

What a pussy tactic

When I see something on sale or clearance but when I check out it rings up as full price so I have to wait for the cashier to call in their master or whoever to confirm it is, in fact, reduced.

Phone fucks. You know what I mean, you worthless sacks of shit.

When something I usually buy goes on sale, by the time I get there at the weekend it's all sold out. So not only do I not get the sale price, I have to buy some other brand that I didn't want.

Fun fact: Phone fags purposefully run into others and block others paths. They can see everyone in their periphery and they do it anyways. Its a total power play.

This means you can smash them, guilt-free.

>when people just stop right in the middle of the god damn aisle

Every large group of brown people anywhere in the south.

You ALL do this.

Perhaps you could tell the cashier to say "Next!" When the sell the scratch cards, so they will start to get the hint...

people who just stop in the middle of the aisle. get to one fucking side and have some situational awareness if people are getting close so you can let them pass

i also hate people who buy a bunch of produce but then want to go to self checkout, they always take forever to figure out the scale and everything on their. fucking asian college kids especially do this, five of them will be together, get 20 different things in plastic bags with no barcode and just camp out at the self checkout taking forever instead of just waiting in the normal checkout lines.

I'd have decked the guy if he got in my face. I don't know how some people manage to just ignore that.

You are missing an arm and an eye and that faggot had the deformed balls to tell you that!?

>stands in front of the canned tomatoes and ponder for minutes. usually slow
I do this, but I'm usually out of the way when I do. I know how annoying it is for some fat fuck to block an aisle standing 4 feet away from the shelf.

Because they don't like spending three nights in jail...

>Be tall fag
>Always go grocery shopping with mom so she doesn't forget stuff
>Buying my snacks, drinks, and shit
>Kids staring at me cause I look like an orc
>Stared at by employees cause I look like a mix between hobo and school shooter
>Every fucking aisle asked by some old lady or nigress to help grab their shit off the top shelf
>They yell at me when I grab the wrong thing
>MFW it happens every week

I guess that's one way of talking yourself out of it, but that's still a lot of willpower.

When other people are in the store

>buying avacados
>touching them, I want a ripe one obviously
>man looks at me with weird look on his face
>take one more avacado and fondle both of them without breaking eye contact
>he moves on

Everything unless I shop at 3am desu
And even then the night shift leaves pallets everywhere

Same thing happens to me but I tell them I'm a feminist and we are all equal now and walk away

kek

The prices
The people
The poor selection

>two lines open
>go into the clearly shorter line
>old lady takes forever to find her cards
>decides to have a conversation with the cashier

>meanwhile in the other line the cashier is probably on meth or something scanning at a rate that would make ai shit itself

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

> using the bathroom at the grocery store
> No toilet paper in the dispenser
> I wipe my ass with scratchy ass brown hand towels
> Go back to my cart
> The jester took a shit in it

This is more from a worker perspective but,

>customers who stare at you in silence when finished with their transaction until you ask what else they need
>receipt please
You people should know by now our system doesn't print cash receipts automatically because it saves paper, I can't read your fucking mind.

Damn, that fucking jester always gets me to

>his machine doesn't print receipts regardless
>he doesn't have to hold it out shamefully and ask if the customer wants it
>he doesn't have to crumple it up, holding back tears, as the Chad Customer walks away without saying a word

Being a grocery store jester is one of the most depressing, alienating experiences you can imagine. We take our small pleasures where we can find them.

>store has a line setup in aisle for self-checkouts
>don't notice it and just jump in front of 5+ people
>nobody says anything

I no longer live near any Giant stores but if I did, and heard someone bust out that line, I'd laugh audibly

1 small aisle with 2 cashiers at the end. I only had one small item and the line in the aisle was quite long. I thought perhaps there were already 2 lines (which works much faster) and decided to walk up ahead to check. Some cunt who was at the front suddenly looks at me with disgust and starts accusing me for skipping while I wasn't even doing anything. I apologize and head to the back, explained to her that I thought perhaps there were two lines since there are two cashiers.

Several minutes later several people in front of me are kind of complaining cause only one cashier sells medication and due to this messed up system they have to wait in line longer since everyone up ahead cannot make up which cashier to pick. And then people complain to me about it and I have to complain back that it isn't my fucking problem but everyone else's that cannot make up their fucking mind.

I'm not so autistic that I don't ask them if they want it first.

Clearly you weren't trained very well, store bitch. Where I'm from, we make your kind bag the groceries too.

>be me
>going to store with black acquaintance
>says he hates it when they check his bags even though they have cameras everywhere
>he fills up an entire cart with shit
>goes to check out
>"can we check your bags sir"
> he asks them why they didnt check the bags of the person infront of them
>"its a random search"
>he just walks past them and leaves the cart there for them to put back in

Some day you should get a real job as a range jester.
Those faggots seem to have all the fun.

Short Mexican and Asian customers who run into you when they walk by you.
I get hip checked by these gremlins like five times a goddamn day when working.

You apparantly look girlish, so they're probably just flirting. You probably look like the guy who I walked up behind at krogers who was diminutive with a nice girlish butt and hair down to his ass and I said, "excuse me ma'am, do you know where..." and he turned around and it was a guy.

Do they feel in charge?

Then grow some hips, lanklet

>old lady starts a conversation with an unwilling cashier

I browse the Chans at the store. When i see this thread i get mad

seeing all the fat people

I work at a mid-level national chain in southern FL.
We have quite a few northerners this time of year.
They tend to park their carts in the middle of narrow aisles and wander around to forage for their purchases.
They have a tendency to stop and look around, oblivious to other shoppers.
They stare to the side as they push forward
They look lost, I ask if they need help, they decline; cue them wandering around for half an hour looking for something that they passed several times.
Hamfamilies walking across aisles like they're on Sex in the Piggy
Conversations that block entire aisles, oblivious to other shoppers
People who look back and see they're blocking you and then look away continuing to block you (cunts)
Elderly in the early stages of dementia
Young trash sloppily shoplifting
People with litters of kids running and screaming (usually hispanics, but sometimes blacks and whites too)
People who scream at their kids in the store
Babies who scream bloody murder for some reason
People who put cold items on dry shelves
People who eat grapes and cherries - especially the ones who eat the pits and spit them all over the store
Chicken bones behind merchandise
Half-empty energy drinks
People who walk in with bags and get caught shoplifting, only to scream and protest that they weren't when they're escorted out empty handed
Food Stamp Days: junk food and frozen dinners instead of low-priced bulk meats and rices and beans and stuff
People who drop half their EBT on soda
People who puff clouds of vape all over the aisles
People who apologize when they ask me where something is - yeah, it's a lame job that barely pays but I don't mind doing it effectively
People who pay in exact change but spend five minutes digging it out
People who abandon their full carts in the middle of the store
Saturdays
The jester putting eggs in the open cash drawer when I'm not looking so they smash as soon as I close it

...

What store fucking checks people’s bags?

This.
If there were 18+ grocery stores around I would exclusively shop at them.
Fuck kids and even more fuck parents who can't keep control of their little satan spawns.

> I shop at 3am
>night shift leaves pallets everywhere
Are you retarded?
