Grocery store pet peeves

Well if the tank would do his job and maintain threat, we wouldn't be swarmed in goblin trash.

You're giving veterans who have dogs to overcome PTSD a bad rep. Just crack the windows in your fucking car and leave them there.

Robot operated delicatessen when?

We have to report issues with deliveries (usually shitty produce) within 24 hours, but the employees here are lazy as fuck and don't unload/report it fast enough. So much money lost on those dumbasses.

Stop trying to help, not yours. Discipline your child on the shelf and take baggage and pay, do not do anything else because you just wash my skin and make it slower.

I don't understand this post

>wash my skin
what

People who stand in the middle of aisles talking to someone or on the phone and get offended even when you politely ask them to move aside.

But they are the only person in their world... you shouldn't be there.

i hate when i'm looking at stuff and choosing what i want and someone just stand behind me real close and doesn't say excuse me or anything

like back off and wait your turn

"Hummmmmnnnn you smell puttie" is more effective...

>bagging groceries to get more hours this week

>customer is slow as shit putting items from their cart on the conveyor belt to be scanned, start bagging
>customer finally pushes their cart down to the end of the lane
>"Oh I actually wanted paper"

>Usually happy to put items in reusable bags because they can hold a lot of stuff
>many bags are torn, filled with old bits of shells, really dirty

Fuck off furfag

A few days ago I bought a box of franzia wine because duck my dick, anyway it came out to 22 dollars with tax. I gave the cashier girl, who was probably 19 or so, a 20 and a 5 dollar bill. She thought I have her 2 20's so I got 17 dollars back in change, basically getting me a box of wine for 4 bucks. Shit was so cash

yeah cashiers are pretty stupid, I mean if you have a job as a cashier obviously you aren't very smart.

Man, I regularly do stare-downs at shitty grocery stores.
I try to go to high end markets, and avoid scummy people.
Worst you gotta worry about in Whole Foods is some sissy liberals. At least they get out of your god damned way if you walk towards them.

Gotta be assertive with submissive people.
Tell them how it's going to be.
At the very least, ask them if they want paper or plastic.

They're getting much worse at this in recent years where I live. Thankfully more places now have those machines you throw the coins in so I don't have to rely on a person to work out why I'm giving them 22 dkk when the total comes to 17.
I think people just aren't learning to do any numbers in their heads in school anymore.

that person is there to be your bitch, stop being a faggot.

I graduated in 2014, we absolutely are not learning this skill anymore. I fucking suck at it, but I'd at least know you give you back 5 monopoly monies

>not teaching common sense in school
Use your head. Not everything has to be force fed to you.

THIS JESUS CHRIST
Delis are always slow as fuck, there's like one person cutting the meat and if there are people in line the first one monopolizes the cutter and it takes like a half hour to get anything.

Slow walker couples.
One slow walker is alright, you usually get around them.

But two? They always walk next to each other, so you cannot possibly get a cart past them in the aisles.

Products just scrambled everywhere, doesn't even make sense.
Know a market where the freezer order is:
Pizza, fries, ready meals like lasagnas, burgers and such meat. Then fish and lots of veggies and then in an entirely new isle of freezers you get the rest of the meat products, like cordon bleu or some such.
Why are the meats not together, what the hell, bruh?

>dairy products not next to each other

>product doesn't fit to shelf-tag

>people leave garbage in the shopping cart
Fuck you, there is a garbage can right next to not only the entrance, there are several more in the parking lot and near each of the cart pickups.

You pussies gotta take control of your lives.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Fucking yell at them, tell them to hurry up. Coerce them into action.
Stop playing videogames and watching porn, you've turned into bugmen cucks.

That doesn't happen at my store, I think you might have schizophrenia

You sound like the kind of person that hospitality workers dread dealing with during their shift. Stop being so entitled

>Aisle wide enough for two carts, someone parks their cart right in the middle
>Busy intersection with sample, someone parks their cart for maximum blockage
>Gal pals walking abreast to yak at each other, master race group in single file because it's just a fucking errand
>Someone's child is fucking around, but they're too embarrassed or brain dead to parent in public
>Didn't accurately read their coupons before checkout
>People shoving past pregnant women or people with babies while rushing toward the next sale item.
>Room enough to simply move around a shopper, but they get snotty about it.
>Unable to make eye contact and pleasantly either say or respond to "Excuse me".
Degenerates, all of them.

I just hate listening to children run amok and screaming and their tired, timid parents who weakly tell them to calm down. Jesus fuck, your children need to respect you. Maybe try actually enforcing one of the punishments you're threatening them with if you're unable to reason with them?
Also people who act like it's a fucking surprise they need to pay their items when they get to the cashier, searching for their wallet/card for 30 seconds while everyone's waiting. You're 60 fucking years old, this can't be new to you.

They teach common core, not common sense

If you cannot do your job properly, you don't need to work there.
If you're better than that, get another job.

Please be fake. Jesus...

>trusting the government to educate your children
why?

sounds like you're a twink that has to be raped

What the fucking fuck

It's not fake. It's a way to make white people as bad at math as minorities

>warehouse
>one of the newbies got signed off work with stress
Ahaha. Ahahahaa. AhahahaHAhahahahaHAHAHAHAAAAAA

That child deserves a fucking medal.

Why

Last week:
>hungry, grab one hot pocket
>get to front
>cartful of garbage girl in front of me
>chatting with cashier
>not ringing shit up yet
>2 minutes pass
>puppy eyes not working
>starts ringing up 100 items
>no cashiers available
>leave the store
>20 minutes later the woman exits
>look inside
>no one in line
>yes yes yes
>get my hot pocket
>get to front
>old lady with cartful
>4 people behind her with 1-2 items
>starts ringing it up
>I leave the store again
>go to friend's house for 30 minutes
>come back
>get hot pocket
>go to line
>takes over 20 minutes to get past the three people in front of me

That's the story of the day it took me two hours to buy a hot pocket.

>ITT: Brainlets

you don't get free samples?

>Customer leaves their babby's dirty diaper in the cart
I'm sad to say I've had this happen to me on more than one occasion when working at a grocery store.

We do, but old people don't take them because they don't trust the black woman shilling them

I find them laying in the parking lot at walmart all the time. Fucking white trash.

What's the point of going if the staff aren;'t going to take your dirty diapers?

why do some people have such a big problem with people bringing their dogs with them in store?

if your little shit can't go to the bathroom to take a shit, then your little hellspawn isn't ready to leave the volcano

I'm allergic to dogs so it bothers me.

>old roasties who make a point of reading every fucking label on shit they buy
>CAN YOU HELP ME I FORGOT MY GLASSES

Because people, more often than not, are terrible dog owners, and those dogs take after their owners.

I wish instead of dog allergies people were allergic to undisciplined little shits. dogs are usually much better behaved than kids

>when the store stocks similar products in different areas so you buy the expensive shit thinking there’s no alternatives
I was looking for some powdered ginger the other day so I went to the spice aisle. All they had was McCormick’s and it was about $6 for fucking 0.7 ounces of powdered ginger. I reluctantly put a bottle in my cart. Luckily I passed through the produce section, clear on the other side of the store, and saw a display of pouches of organic spices. They had one of powdered ginger, which was only $3 and contained 1 ounce. So not only was I getting more ginger, I was getting better quality ginger and at half te price. Before you say something about organic being a meme, I actually compared the stuff using the mostly-empty bottle of McCormick’s ginger I was replacing. The organic stuff has a stronger and fresher flavor. I put that McCormick shit back, but I should have tossed it in the trash.

Short sighted fag that wears glasses all day
Why the fuck do far sighted people not keep their glasses on their person? It's so frustrating handing someone a menu or a letter and them just staring blankly at it for thirty seconds before going "oh where did i put my glasses?"

Yeah sure blame it on the tank because you couldn't be arsed to pick something other than a shitty dps class

looking in other people's carts and witnessing the shit they are going to eat, which will eventually turn into real shit

>t. nigger

>powdered ginger
>worried about quality

Who the fuck uses powdered ginger instead of fresh and why?

This just leave the fucking dog at home
In arizona you cant leav dogs or children in the car

>grocery store offers 12 different kinds of tomatoes
>cherry tomatoes, plum tomatoes, beefsteak tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes and everything inbetween
>pre-packed or loose and sold by weight
>NONE OF THE FUCKING PRICE TAGS MATCH THE PRODUCT RIGHT NEXT TO THEM
How are you going to figure out which tomatoes are the cheapest if everything is such a clusterfuck? I swear they do this on purpose so that people buy those overpriced buckets of cherry tomatoes for 4€

ginger paste is better, its because ginger can be tedious to prepare and doesnt last as long

Because most people have untrained, poorly behaved dogs. A few mistakes escalate into a situation and that ruins it for everybody.

I like peeping at others cart, it's funny

mincing ginger takes like 2 minutes are you retarded, it also lasts forever

In Pajeet cuisine, dry ginger and fresh ginger are thought of as two, wholly distinct ingredients and are not interchangeable. Many recipes Pajeets cook will use both because dry and fresh don't taste alike. Similarly, many Pajeet foods will use both fresh and dry chili in the same dish because, again, the two are not interchangeable.

I'm not sure if there are m/any western ingredients which are treated the same way as adarak (fresh ginger) and soonth (dry ginger) are in Indic cuisines are.

No other stores in the neighborhood have hot pockets?

not him I have 6 stores around my area. I'd just go to another if I had a like wise issue or even a gas station

>18-24 year old white males are the MOST oppressed minority in HISTORY
>reeeeeeeeeeeee

Nice projection. I was referring to my teenage daughter who is gifted but learned to hate math after having to do ten retard steps instead of doing it in her head

>I actually compared the stuff using the mostly-empty bottle of McCormick’s ginger I was replacing
>comparing fresh stuff to older powdered spice
I think you may have fucked up your methodology there my guy. Unless you go through it really quickly. Good that you found a ~125% better deal though

>spanks my ass red
kek

y'all ever ring up a couponer

y'all ever have them sit there and insist to you that the tiny pack of napkins they have counts for the dollar off coupon they have for a 500 pack

y'all ever have the store manager come up and tell you if it rings it's fine because he's friends with the couponers

y'all ever see their order ring up to three bucks and them walk out with a u-boat full of soda because of course the manager just lets em use it

and then they leave the u-boat in the cart corral

and they do this once a week every week except when they are vacationing in florida

y'all ever look at the communist manifesto and go "okay maybe a little bit"

Excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean by a "u-boat" in this context? I assume we're not talking about German submarines here.

oh yeah that's these boys

i don't know how they got the name besides being vaguely u-shaped but it's fun to imagine our store filled with world war i era submersibles too

Assholes with two carts full of shit in the 10/20 items or fewer line chaps my asshole. Also, when you see one person dragging two carts, blocking up aisles and knocking shit over, because they had to have an entire basket for nothing but their 24 packs of soda.

my favorite is on the express lane when one person comes up to you with like three items but surprise! it turns out they were just an advance scouting party for the person they came shopping with and THEY walk up and THEY have a cart full of shit

>buying cheap spices in the hispanic food section
>leave cart to grab an item from down the aisle
>return to find the cart up cinder blocks with the wheels missing

>old ladies completely unaware of their surroundings
>old guy trying to talk to you about random shit when instead of paying attending to the card scanner
>same old guy talking to the people behind you in line when you didn't give a shit
>snot covered kids in all shapes and sizes
>Baggers that don't know how to bag

There was an African lady who spoke very slow English, and I had to actively avoid lines with her at the end since she would take twice as long, and make every mistake under the sun. Times I couldn't avoid it, she was still making them 6 months later.

I chuckled

How on earth does the manager gain from couponers?

I work the customer service desk and honestly the employees bother me more than the customers. Mainly when I'll page a department and they won't answer the fucking phone. I'll have a customer on hold for 15 minutes even though there's at least 30 god damn people in the kitchen that could answer the phone that they've been paged to answer 3 or 4 times. Also shithead baggers who leave wadded up bags and drinks and shit by the registers. I get that they're like 16 year old kids but still. It's not my issue, it just bugs me to see them being so lazy. Worked the customer service desk for about a year now and have had no really bad experiences with customers apart from one really strange phone call.

Miss working in the back honestly. I worked the Dairy section which is the best gig because your cooler with all your stock is right next to one of the doors to the backroom. People back there were more bro-tier too. A lot friendlier and conversational. Now I work with all these assistant managers up at the front of the store who all have a stick up their ass.

...

What kind of imbecile spends two hours and three trips to get one fucking hot pocket? Get something from McDonalds you moron.

He's part of the scam.

y'all ever learn to speak proper english and not type like a fucking redneck

I dunno dude, dried and fresh spices aren't considered interchangeable in western cuisine either unless you're talking about home cooking, which wouldn't be fair since that has more to do with economics than ingredient quality.

The only 'chefs' in the west that consider onions and onion powder to be interchangeable work at McDonald's

>need to buy some oatmeal
>put on my falconer's glove
>put a hood over Falco's head
>drive to grocery store
>manager says I can't bring Falco into the store with me
>explain that he's not a pet, but a therapy falcon
>manager is still hesitant
>I want to tell him that it's illegal to separate me from my therapy falcon but my social anxiety kicks in and all I can do is make deep gasping sounds like I'm drowning
>manager looks at me wide eyed
>I feel dizzy, everything's going dark
>take the hood off of Falco so he can go dial 911
>Falco takes flight and the manager swats at him
>last thing I remember is grabbing onto the manager's ankle so he wouldn't chase after Falco

Currently in the middle of a lawsuit with that grocery store for inducing a panic attack and hindering my therapy falcon. Until this is over they won't let me back in.

It's not just diet. Pajeets have zero hygiene. There's a reason you find them shitting in the streets.

whining kids and people leaving items wherever they happen to stand instead of putting it back, lazy fucks.

and i dont even work in a store

>pet peeves as employee
Customers assuming I know everything and asking me questions related to other departments. Customers talking to each other in the middle of aisles, getting in the way. Customers jamming their hands into the shelves to get stuff in the back, messing everything up, putting stuff where it doesn't belong right after I fixed it. that's might be it for me.

most pet peeves are related to coworkers not doing their shit and dumb management
