Grocery store idiots:SUCKAGE!!!

[topane]

You ever notice that ppl in the grocery store always stop their shopping cart either a) Right next to someone else's cart or b) Next to a display in the aisle. Either case: no one else can get around. You've got to wait while they find the perfect loaf of bread or something. Then if you ask them to move you always get a look like "OK, but it's a lot of trouble for me to walk an EXTRA 4 F##KING FEET!!!" Or God forbid if someone ignores you and you move their cart yourself--you'll get an evil stare and some good muttering. Just park your stupid cart 10 feet up, out of the way, and walk your ass back to get your crap without clogging the aisle. (Disclaimer: If you've got a physical problem where you don't get around too well, this doesn't apply to you) This happens at least once every time I go shopping. Why can't people just be a little more considerate?

Just do what I do - walk really near their cart and accidentally bump it. Then look around and stare at the bastard.

If you practice often enough, you'll find that if you bump them in certain ways you'll get the most distance and noise (assuming they are those metallic carts).

I was JUST discussing this matter with someone today!..I'm damn sick and tired of saying "scuse me scuse me..".I was brought up well mannered but screw that. The next fat bleach blond welfare recipient that is blocking the cookie isle is NOT gonna get preference over my cart making it to the oreo display. Maybe I should direct them to the soap isle next time so that they can buy shampoo for their fat greasy crossguard husbands-or better yet-the peroxide shelf-so they can get rid of the roots from their suicide (dyed by own hand)blond hair color. UGH.

OBBY Girl, you spend too much time at the grocery store! Leave those cheese boys alone damn it. Didn't that restraining order slow you down even a little?

I agree with you guys though, I hate the grocery store. I try to go really late at night to avoid people, but then end up buying very strange things. I will end up with all snack/junk food and have to go back later for "real" food.

When I was ill a few years ago, my husband hired someone to shop and clean for me. It was heaven, I miss her so much.

You could just do what I do, push your cart up behind theirs and start pushing their cart with yours. See how far you can get with it before they run after it. When they start whining about you moving their precious cart, just look them in the eye, smile, and tell them to keep their fucking cart out of your way. If they still have a problem, offer to assist their shoping by shoving an economy size can of western chili up their ass.
This solves the immediate problem AND encourages them not to do it again.

no... no... What I hate is when the only thing in the isle you need is behind the husband and the cart of a woman who cannot make up her mind on the OTHER side of the isle. So, not only do you have to wait for him to move, because you know he won't (cuz the wife told him not too, but when you decide to come back for it later, the wife decides to take a step back into the middle of the isle! So, now you have both idiots blocking your way!

So you take the next option, you try to turn your cart around, only to find a welfare mom with 3 kids running circles around her and her cart that has a crying baby!


Don't be laughing... you know this happens!

I am manager of a grocery store (at least for the time being)....I don't even want to hear it. Try staying in a grocery store 50 hours a week. I need to start carrying a gun so I can just shoot customers like that. I have seen customers shop for upto 3 hours and only walked out with like 30 items. How long does it take to decide if you should get the real Kraft Macaroni and Cheese or that god awful store brand.

Now the thing that really ticks me off is the people that go out and buy T-Bone steaks and lobsters and pay with food stamps. Of course they want one of my baggers to help them load their groceries into their BMW.
