Grocery Store Banter

Post by TGantz »

"Looks like it's going to be a doozy out there, I thought I'd come in and get a few things."
"Yup. I think a lot of people had the same idea."
"I swear we were low on eggs, bread, and milk. It's just a coincidence LOLZ!!!"
"I believe you sir."
"You know St. Louis, 45 degrees one day and ice storm the next."
"Pretty crazy."
"We have the same weather every year, and never amounts to very much, then everyone freaks out and runs to the store."
"Where's the nearest bridge?"

Is that a rutabaga in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

If a grocery store allowed you to set people on fire for walking too slow, for a small membership fee, I would shop there all the time.

Last night I was waiting to checkout when the lady whose order was being rung decides to go back for one more item. The clerk skipped her order and started checking the next person, but when the first one reappeared the cashier forgot and started ringing up her order without closing out the other.

Also, it's impressive how aggressive women shoppers are in grocery stores. They will block the aisles or access to shelves with their carts. If they see you heading somewhere they will try to get in the way.

Was at the Loughborough Schnucks Sunday morning and actually heard the woman monitoring the self checkout lanes that she could not scan a woman's groceries. That the purpose of the self checkout lanes was you scan your own groceries. SWEET!!!!

LOL....I love it!

Ok, so, I'm at Wal Mart Market a month ago or so during a later hour - like 930 or so. I get my stuff and stroll into an unoccupied self checkout line, of which there were at least 3 or 4. I'm not even half way done scanning my stuff and some dude walks up behind me and just stands there with an item or two in his hands.

I glance back at him.....then I stop scanning and take a step or two to my right and peer over my self checkout aisle to the other 3 unoccupied self check out aisles....then glance back at him. He doesn't get the drift and continues to cluelessly stand behind me waiting for me to finish up.

It's in those moments that my carnal self really wants to reach out and slap my fellow man for his stupidity.

That's when you just take your time. Oops, gotta look up that PLU code. Where is it on this spinny wheel thing?
