At any store.

I just went to the store to get some bathroom cleaner. got that and got in the 10 items or less line, and in front of me is a woman with at least 30. Normally, I don't care. It happens. But for every other item, she was asking the cashier how much it cost. I know that there are some products without a price tag in stores, be it grocery or clothes, games, etc. But really? there were price check things all over the store, and you have to get in the express lane, ask how much every other item is, and stand there for a minute thinking about if you want it?

That was it for today. also, bathrooms. a few weeks ago, I seen the cleaning ladies come out of a bathroom at walmart, so I take my daughter in there and wow. toilet paper all over the floor, smelt like s#it, there was an unknown liquid on the floor.

    I think women are spoiled. This is always the case with men's rooms.

    I don't like dirty carts with napkins, tissues, litter in them. Why not clean out the carts between customers. It's nasty!

    Haha. Probably because the people who collect the buggies aren't paid enough to care.

    When people take up the whole isle and when you say excuse me they look at you like you're stupid and don't move. It always tempts me to shove them out of the way yelling move b**** instead...

    For what it's worth, as a former wally-world cashier, I can tell you that the cashier probably wanted to punch her, too. 1) It slows down the cashier's transaction time, which they can get a write-up for if they're too slow, too often. 2) On a speedy, there's usually not a belt, just a counter, and the bag carousel only has 3 bags instead of 6. It's a pain in the *kitten* to do a big order on those. 3) it makes the customers in back of her grumpy, and some of them will take it out on the cashier.

    You are in the line and have been waiting long, then another register opens and the person announces "I'll help the next in line" which ends up being not being next but the last person in line.

    Why not customers throw their own stuff away? While I understand that it may be needed to be done, putting all on the establishment shouldn't entirely be expected.

    Mine is people who are TOO DAMN LAZY to put their carts in the cart collector. Leaving a cart in a parking spot, or worse propped up on an island right next to mine.

    when people that have already been checked out, all stop and talk to each other or check their receipts, blocking the exit itself, or the way to the exit

    People who talk on their cell phone in the store, especially during check out. It's so rude!

    I hate when people push their carts right behind my car! WTF? They were able to walk from their car into the store, why cant they walk their buggy to the rack?

    If there is a cart in a parking spot, I push it out the way with my car bumper.

    Someone standing right in the middle of the aisle.

    Seriously...it's like they don't know they aren't the only person trying to get *kitten* done >___> Either that or they don't care. Not sure which is worse.

    When a family with two adults has a small child who is in full screaming melt down but they don't have one of them take the child outside to the car to calm down. It's stress inducing for the other shoppers and bad for the child.

    Better than asking the workers to do it, why don't the customers who put their trash in there clean up after themselves instead of being slobs? Ugh, I hate that.

    Waiting forever in line to have the person right in front of me pull out a stack of flyers for price matching. I know they are being smart and saving money but gah that crap takes forever sometimes.

    I hate when the bathrooms are disgusting. My husband tells me all the time that women are spoiled for clean bathrooms. He will rarely use a public bathroom because the men's are so disgusting.

    I am trying to come up with something originial, but I think everyone else pretty much covered my gripes, lol.

    People blocking the entire aisle is right up there on my top 10. It never fails. Right along with:

    - People who can't park (take up 4 spots)
    - Cashiers who do not want to be at work, so they go as slow as they can (Not ALL, but some)
    - When I go for ONE thing and ONE thing only, and I either change my mind or they don't have it. So I buy a basket full of crap instead
    - When it is time to pay the bill. OUch.
    - Shopping in clothing stores - fitting rooms that reek of urine. WTF?!? It is not a bathroom
    - Stores that are messy, cluttered, and unorganized
    - Rude, cranky, mean people (shoppers and employees both)
    - When you are waiting in a line, and the person behind you or in front of you is aggravated because they have to wait in line. Think Black Friday, lol!
