wait...everyone's giving YOU the stink-eye at the grocery and YOU'RE the one complaining about grocery store etiquette??? only YOU... falloff

ok, i'll play lol

i always use the self-checkout lane at my local grocery, which means i bag my own groceries. it's faster and the only ineptitude i have to deal with is my own, as opposed to having to depend on a cashier and a bagging person. i know people who are self-checkout-phobic, and they need to get over it. it's far more efficient.

nod Exactly.

that's the truth. i loved the self checkout lane back when i lived in a place that had one.

but i can see not wanting to do that when you have two kids in tow...unless you want to put them to work on the bagging end of it.

I go grocery shopping late, late at night, when I'm the only person in the store. No crowds and I can rub my balls on the produce without getting caught. If there's a Heaven, I doubt it's much different.

nod the only thing worse than no customer serivce is shitty customer service.
There are days I really dont wanna deal with some of the fuckers I have to, but I still do it politely and professionally....restaurants, stores and other places need to tighten the fuck up, for real....grocery stores have it good 'cause aint too many people buying milk online, but if I can get it online without shity service or back talk, I'm doing it...

Where I live we not only bag everything ourselves but we pay for the bags too. On the other hand they're sturdy plastic bags and not like the flimsy Safeway ones that break if you put two items in them.

It's like this in Holland too. nod I always bring my own bags.

Okay.

OMG.

WTF is with these stores that don't have the bag people handy??

Am I wrong here????

I go to Giant. With 2 kids. In a car cart.

Do my thing. Shop and stuff.

My kids have a screaming match in the produce section. Old ladies look at me like I'm the devil. You know.

So.

I get all finished up.

And You KNOWWWWW how they put the F'ing CANDY BARS rite in the checkout.

Okay fine kids. Pick out a candy bar. Whatever.

Well the girls checkin me out.

Groceries are building the fuck up, cuz theres NO BAGGER!!!

She asks me for my bonus card atleast 3 times, cause shes MENTAL!!!!!

So, I', lookin around, every other customer in the other check outs is bagging their own shit!

FUCK THAT!

I go to grocerie stores partlky because I'm not a farmer.

If I wanted to do my own shit, I'd go out in the field and pick fucking crops.

No.

I'm not gonna bag.

So she rings me all up, and goes. HUUUHHHHH and starts bagging my stuff, while I text away on my phone, ignoring her little hissy fit over doing her own job. rolleyes

Is it just me???

Or is this bullshit??




spit Funniest post I've read in a looooonnng time! lol I so understand everything about your trip (except the bagging part.) I shop at a military base and they always have baggers.

Your kids fighting and ladies looking at you. I'm like, WTF either they didn't have kids or just beat the shit out of them to keep them in line. Sometimes I want to say, "What the FUCK are you looking at?!"

No I don't think you're wrong about the bagging thing. I think in general this country has such a shit work ethic. People are lazy and don't give a crap about doing their jobs, much less doing it right.

OK, everyone who feels the need to scold me for the above comment, don't because I'm not talking about you if you are doing your job superbly.

The part about picking crops was the shiznit.... lol

Why? Because we hire give ppl more job opportunities, by hiring baggers, where areas other countries have ppl do it themselves??

No.

The reason people hate Americans, is because we blow people the fuck up for no reason.


I think that has something more to do with it.

no, because you were too lazy and self absorbed to bag your own groceries. text messaging was far more important. that's why.
