Grocery store pet peeves

>He waits until Sunday to get booze for Sunday

Going to church has nothing to do with it if the store won't sell until 1PM anyways. You'd still be stuck there waiting.
What I don't understand is why he doesn't fucking stock up in advance. Buy your shit on Saturday. Buy your shit on FRIDAY.

youtube.com/watch?v=_d0NfzlhfMk

Im talking about how he says he cant buy it due to the chruch members judging him

Where does he say that? Where are you getting that from? He said he can't buy it because of archaic laws that restrict the sale of alcohol during church hours.

this got out of hand fast

I said, let me be clear, I LOSE MY HOME, which the church OWNS, if I am caught buying beer.
I'm not a 21 year old hiding from his parents, I am under strict ass orders not to drink because my landlord says no, and he runs the church.
Get it?

I cleaned it up, what a fucking kidfest, it's either argue with kiddos on Veeky Forums or watch clickbait on youtube. Winter is fucking shit, I just want to go scrape around my yard and make a fire.

I don't live close to a church, so thank god I avoid most of that crowd.
But what fucking gets me is young children that just run around like they own the place. Like, what are these parents thinking? I've contemplated taking the kid and giving him to child services or putting him another grocery store down the way just to confuse the shit out of them. This one kid just took off his pants and diaper to shit on the floor in full view of me and like 5 people then ran off with his pants around his ankles. I don't even think the mom knew.
Or what about when you're trying to get groceries but there are a gang of kids from like middle or high school who just walk around super slowly for no reason. Everyday a group of like 7 kids from the highschool a block away comes and fucks with everything as I'm stocking. Then they steal sushi or some shit and pay for nothing then leave. My manager is too busy being an egotistical dick to think anything bad could happen in his stores so I just let them do it. Feels bad tho, the sushi women is really nice, she'll give me leftover sushi and tell me my zodiac and shit.

there's an old joke about only inviting baptists to go fishing with you in pairs. If you only bring one, he'll drink all your beer.

Exactly my point dude, we're all drunks, but only in secret.

Holy fuck that sounds illegal, only in America i guess

it's not uncommon in southern areas. Churches will exploit their tax status and buy up small areas of houses they'll rent as duplexes. They attach some insane stipulations to the lease and depending on the state/local zoning laws they play tax-exempt or reduced landlord.

Classic

>ask the kid in the vest what aisle the potato pancake mix is on

Uhhh I'm not sure

>asking a kid where the potato pancake mix is

shit that sounds like a plan brb getting ordained

>non-disabled people using scooters

why do people think is is okay? Every time I see someone riding around in these fuckers and then stand up to get oreos off the high shelf I instinctually assume that they're either literally insane or retarded.

>user, customer waiting, please pick up on 1401, user, pick up on 1401, customer waiting.

I dont have any.

>hey since a you're closing up does that mean i get a discount on this stuff since you're gonna throw it out haha

>its not scanning must be free aha.

Most of the time you can tell they're joking, but once a lady actually asked me this, her face shining with joy at the thought she might be allowed to steal something. Then her face instantly darkening when I said no.

Had a guy that made me get the manager because he wanted a deal on pizzas since he was 'ordering in bulk'
He was getting 2

Guys it's not a cash grab, it's a parsonage, this is why they exist.
Do you pay $150 a month for all your bills and $50 for rent? I do. They lose money if I'm not here though because the heat has to stay moderated so the pipes don't freeze. No renter here and they lose that $150-200 instead of me paying for it, it's valuable to them having me pay the bills and guard the property.

>that guy who runs around the store with a cart full of turkeys and hams shouting "Super Market Sweep!"
>doesn't even buy anything, just ditches the cart and runs out the store
Is this the newest hot meme or something? It seems to happen every time I go grocery shopping.

What? Take video for us, must be some facebook kid bullshit.

He gets paid to stand around the store. He should know where the potato pancakes are

Let me guess: you're a EuroCommie

Spanish speaking caravans of mexicans buying up everything on clearance while their loud kids run around and touch everything

>Being so retarded you have to ask where something is

Niggers that blow their EBT and check out with over flowing shopping carts

I feel bad whenever I have more than like 20 items in my cart cause I feel like i'm slowing shit down.

But my biggest pet peeve is people who still pay with checks. That absolutely ruins my day because 90% of the teenagers working as cashiers at fucking walmart have never seen a check, much less know how to verify one, and it's always 30 minutes or more while the manager waddles over to figure it out. That never fails to boil my blood for the rest of the day.

I never judge, but the number of people buying mountain dew and doritos with that shit is asinine.

Meanwhile, my food stamps went below the state minimum of $19 with zero income or rent changes for 6 years, but back then I got $150. They were giving me $19 a month all year.
Income is $3500 a year.

And I get to watch these people piss it out when I'm completely eligible for $150 a month but some sort of payment change boned me.
Imagine if you worked 1 hour per day all week and still had rent, bills and basic needs, could you do it?
Autism: God fucking damnit the SSA ruined my life in one visit.

>chip cards now mandatory
>no one carries fucking cash, less than 10% have a 20 on them
>one payment takes around three minutes to process
>before chip cards it took 5 seconds and a signature

Really makes you wonder. It's faster to pay with checks now but I HIGHLY recommend if you are standing in a line in a store, USE FUCKING CASH.

That payment might not even post to your account for a week, and by then if you drew your money and the $10 cc charge comes in, bam overdraft fee. Safer to carry a 20 and a knife than it is to carry a big book of "free money" checks and chip cards that no longer require pin numbers.

Also they just want to track you, and you can't use cash without owning a chip. Familiar story? Some dude guessed this would happen 2,000 years ago and lookie lookie.

I work customer service and what pisses me off the most is the entitlement some customers have.

The other week we had a sale going on for scallops.I forget the exact price, but they were discounted quite nicely and were flying out of the store.

This older, fat woman comes up to the counter

>Hey, user, I have a problem
>What's going on today?
>I came in for these scallops and it looks like you're all out
>Oh..Yeah, this was the last day to get them and I guess we must have ran ou--
>Well, I came here because the ad said that you had the scallops, and I'm here because of the ad, and you don't have the scallops, so what are you going to do for me?
>Well, it says on the ad that it's a first come first serve basis, if you come on the last day of the ad there's a chance that we're going to be out of them
>Can I speak to a manager

And then the store manager came over, apologized profusely, gave her a $15 appeasement gift card and found some other higher priced scallops and gave them to her at that price. I fucking hate that shit. People making their problems your problems.

Never would it occur to me that if I fucked up and came on the last day of big sale and missed out on it should I whine and complain until I get what I want. But I guess these people have been playing the system longer and know how to work it.

Customer service is a joke. You think it would be resolving people's problems and finding solutions, etc. But all you end up doing is getting exploited by pushy customers who prey on your generosity and try to see how far they can push it.

>black people
>women that use a thousand coupons
Thats pretty much it

Supermarket that only sells shitty india rice ......inbf

>Rice cleaned by shit water
>Some factory dont have pipe system and never replace the water (watched a documentary about India's water)
>Rice sorted on bare concrete falling through the cracks of toe jams and street shitters
>Radesh stroking that rice with his filthy hands

Im not a racist trust me, dated a westernized indian qt.

rice is one of the few things I just order online. If it's a staple grain and you have a sense of taste you're going to be particular about it. If you're particular about it you're probably going get screwed if you try to buy a quality product retail via small unit sizing with inflated cost per unit. Grocery stores are not made to make money off affluent consumers they're made to make money off people with needs but will settle for cheaper alternatives.

They don't sell liquor in grocery stores here

Depends on the store and his job. He might not shop there or work in that section.

I gave out small discounts for about 3 months when I first started. Then I realized these people weren't ignorant or mistaken, They are all just trying to take advantage of nice cashiers.
Now if anyone tells me the price was different I tell them too bad it must have been placed in the wrong spot. I refuse to give discounts and if they ask for a price check I get happy thinking about how my csm is gonna take a 5 min break and then come back to tell them no.

Christmas and Halloween are the worst for this. Multiple orders a day for $100's worth of fucking holiday candy.

Debit is easily the fastest as long as it's not some asshole with 4 different cards, none of which have any money in the associated account.

>the young black guy trying to rip off gift cards at self checkout.
Fuck this guy. Self checkout is hectic as shit and now I gotta go inform security about this retard who doesn't understand that his bullshit is never gonna work and that I can see everything he's doing.

You can avoid them by shopping at Asian grocery stores :-)

I regularly order my Chia online because it's a few cents cheaper than Costco and there's not much else there I get regularly. I use my mom's membership. Quinoa is cheap there. What grains do you buy?

I've had flax shipped to an Amazon locker outside a grocery store where the same brand costs more.

Are you fucking retarded or just fucking retardedly poor?

What in the fuck...

>pay with your card and get x discount!
>buy and use OUR card, get 2x discount!
>we are not able to process cash at this time
>we are not able to process checks at this time
>cards with chip only please!
I’m not even that guy, but it’s obvious that (((someone))) is trying to phase out cash in favor of something that can be tracked and messed with.

If I'm to be totally honest, I don't really care whether the Jews know I'm buying sausage or not.

>I have nothing to hide, so I don’t need privacy and neither should anyone else
Oh boy.

Did you just admit you're a janitor? You can't do that. Goodbye!

dafuq? seek help
literally everything you do on the internet is already tracked, you're shitposting on a cambodian vomit porn forum and redtube knows exactly which videos you watched and where you paused. you walk around all day with a geolocation device that listens to everything going on at all times, and you're worried about the Man knowing what food you like? get a grip. privacy is a legit worry but what you're doing is like trying to patch a gunshot wound with a band-aid.

Jesus, how does your church own your own house?
>hey guys I joined the church of Satan for top keks :DDDDDDDDD

A band aid is a good place to start if there’s not much else you can do.

The church probably owns quite a few houses. I'm guessing they allow long time members to buy or rent at VERY cheap prices.
My stepmother is in a similar situation. She was able to outright buy a house (built by the church) for $14k.

>I don't need privacy xDD
>look at all this cheap tech being sold to me I wonder why people want me to have it so much???
>ok now let me work a dead-end job and reproduce in this box while I spend all day looking at another box
>stop caring about things you fucking autist just have nothing to hide and let everyone spy on you like I do

Can mankind even be saved? You willingly betray anyone and everyone for gibs and half a chance at pussy.

People who stand at the back of the checkout and prevent me from putting my shit on the conveyor.

no. it creates a false sense of "doing something about it" when you aren't doing shit. you could redirect that energy to something actually useful, either for the cause you care about, or something unrelated but still useful to you

donate to the EFF or ACLU, work on some kind of anti-tracking browser plugins, advocate for people to ditch their smart phones, do something about it.

hiding your sausages, jesus christ people. "waah muh dead end job", says a lot about your approach to life

You are so nu-male it hurts. Fuck you, you worthless traitor. You'll do ANYTHING for cash.

>nu-male
the insult of choice for ineffectual, poor, unhealthy underachievers

Why are you being passive-aggressive on the internet you stupid faggot

why are you so obsessed with jewish people and having your pee-pee spied on?

I hope insurance companies start monitoring individual grocery purchases. Cultural inertia won't get in the way of them pressuring customers to eat objectively well :-)

PARAISE THE LAWWD

Some bitch came in and paid for like $40 worth of shit in quarters. I wanted to tear my hair out

>ACLU
they've been compromised for years. I know you think you're "doing the right thing" by attempting to be some user's parent but you're as uninformed as you claim he is.

>well not allowing your spending habits to be tracked isn’t enough, so you might as well not do anything.
Lol keep going, I can do this all day

nihilism in defense of nihilism is still nihilism, user
your words, not mine. you know you can just give those store card people a fake number, right? no? never even occurred to you? I guess you were too busy focusing your intense privacy advocacy efforts towards shitposting on a cambodian vomit porn forum

>tfw super healthy
>tfw my health insurance offers me free money for doing what I already do
>tfw future cardiac patients get mad at people like me for subsidizing their health care
keep being fat, you fat fuck

>carries curly parsley
>but not flat-leaf parsley

>he doesn't want to walk
>decides to use scooter to conserve energy
Wtf? Is this guy retarded or what!?

It's not nihilism; it's me expressing my second hand embarrassment reading your posts. Whatever man, you sure showed us how cool you are. nice

it's nihilism, but hey if you want to make this an e-peen effort at who can seem more aloof, go for it, I know for a fact you have all day

Not so much a peeve, but I really wish people would consider their grocery shopping schedules better. You don't HAVE to go right after work or Sunday afternoon just because that's when it's traditionally done. If you wait until 8:00 or 8:30, the store will be nearly empty by comparison and it will be much more pleasant. I do my shopping on Tuesday at 11:00pm. It's like having my own private grocery store.

Also, buy your alcohol on Saturday. Honestly, people, how hard is that.

is there a more reddit opinion than "WAHH PEOPLE UNDER 70 ARE USING SCOOTERS"

Do you retards realize anyone who actually needs a scooter has someone buy their food for them ( family members usually or a nurse ).

The system is pretty messed up. For example, if I got $800 a month in Supplemental Security Income (SSA), and decided I wanted to work part time, my SSA payment would go down by a dollar for every dollar I earned actually working. So, in essence, I'm working 20 hours a week but only actually profiting by $10 as opposed to not working at all and just sponging off the government.

Why the fuck would I ever get a job? What idiot came up with this? I should get full sustained SSA benefits for at least 6 months after becoming employed to motivate me to find work. Most of these saps don't last 6 months at a job anyway.

>Im not a racist trust me, dated a westernized indian qt.

No one actually cares if you're a racist. Everyone knows deep down that they are racist against some group of people because it's human nature. They just like to virtue signal and use racism as a tool. Don't worry about it. My mother in law hates indians. I hate blacks. My wife hates men. My dad hates blacks. My mom hates russians. My sister hates mexicans and koreans for some reason. Hell, I have 2 dogs that hate black people. Whatever. Doesn't matter as long as they don't put on white hoods and run their mouths in public.

...

Fucks that use coupons. The 13c you're saving isn't worth it now move the fuck on

>$250 for a retarded toy dog

Really? This reminds me of my initial prep material for fostering dogs that insists we (the keepers) are doing adopters a favor by even allowing their filthy asses to consider adopting our precious precious princesses ... which are all abandoned rescues with health or behavior problems ... and we should scrutinize the hell out of potential adopters and charge them hundreds of dollars. Even the humane society only charges like $60 for a slightly used cat.

Nigga, just take the damn dog. It's lucky it's not dead. I don't care if it doesn't have its own bedroom and you feed it cheap dog food. As long as you don't hit it and make sure it has water, we're cool.

The fuck is wrong with your ankles?

>$15 coupon

What the actual fuck

When I get erections from looking at the giant pictures of ladies holding fruit so I have to stand there with my cart until it goes away and employees start asking me if I need help with anything.

Is he forcing you to live there? Is it in the lease? Then you knew ahead of time and stop bitching. Don't like it, move.

>find something you actually like
>start buying it regularly
>store stops stocking it completely

Story of my life. Now, every store here no longer sells beer batter cod. It is all Parmesan breaded cod. Literally the worst thing ever. List of other things the stores here stopped stocking once I started buying it:

vanilla yogurt
caramel popcorn
split top submarine sandwich buns
yukon gold potatoes

lol! we did that in the 1990s at walmart all the time. best fun ever at a store

>Donating to the ACLU
Yeah, not when their official stance is that only militias should have guns and that private citizens don't have a right to bear arms.

>Where does he say that?
>can't buy beer in front of church people because it's so fucking hated
that was hard

get a job loser
