what bothers you when you go shopping?

when ur just trying to get in get out and be done with it (grocery shopping) and people are hangin out in the isles chatting away like theyre in a dang coffee shop!

Forgot one- the "crowders". The one's who inch right up on you in line, like they think hovering a half an inch from me will make the checker ring up my items faster, or make me move away quicker. Nope. Makes me want to stand there ALL DAY.

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.

I almost put that, but didn't know a nice way to say it...haha! My husband and I always end up sitting next to a child having a total meltdown during dinner, in the movies, church, at the grocery store. It never fails. It is our inside joke now. We have come to expect it. Kids will be kids, but please take them out for a minute to calm down.

"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."


Ha - too funny! Mine is shopping for clothes, which I rarely do. Trying them on and hoping there's a larger size. What a hassle to shop for clothes especially the time spent trying them on.

OMG WHEN I GOT INTO A STORE THAT I LOVE BUT THE PEOPLE THERE JUST FIT INTO EVERYTHING AND ALL THE STUFF IN MY SIZE IS LIKE ON DISPLAY IN THE CENTER OF THE STORE AND EVERYONE SEES ME AND I WALK INTO THE DRESSING ROOM WITH CLOTHES THAT I FIT IN LAST WEEK AND THIS WEEK I DON'T FIT INTO THEM AND MY FRIEND BECKY NEVER HAS THIS PROBLEM AND SHE EATS WHATEVER SHE WANTS AND NEVER GOES TO THE GYM AND I EAT ONLY 800 CALORIES A DAY AND WORK OUT ON THE ELLIPTICAL FOR 2 HOURS FOUR TIMES A WEEK AND I JUST WANT TO BE HAPPY!!

Whoa, man. Calm yo teats!

All the stuff.

Seriously, I hate shopping. Nothing puts me in a foul mood faster than an hour in a store.

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...

Move b**** get out the whey!!

What if I'm in the curds?

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

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.

my HERO!!!! :flowerforyou:
im a bagger at a grocery store, and i have to collect carts. i HATE it when people leave their trash in the carts! its not that hard to toss a wipe away after you wipe down the handle, or to toss the sample cup. heck, when you are at the checkout, hand it to the cashier and ask them to throw a away in the trash can in the check stand! when i am out there collecting carts, and there is trash in a cart, of course ill throw it away because im not going to leave trash in there! but dang people are lazy! i also hate that people are too lazy to walk a few feet away to put their cart in the cart return in the parking lot. they usually park it in a planter, next to the car next to them (where it could cause damage to that car), or in an empty parking spot, which prevents someone from parking there (or they will park there anyways and make it impossible to get the cart since it is pretty much wedged between the front ends of 2 cars)! it makes it so much easier for us to do our job, and return the carts to the return at the front of the store when you put the cart in the return out in the parking lot.

Forgot one- the "crowders". The one's who inch right up on you in line, like they think hovering a half an inch from me will make the checker ring up my items faster, or make me move away quicker. Nope. Makes me want to stand there ALL DAY.

I HATE that, I tend to suddenly have the need to stick my elbow out behind me.

This.

People in pajama pants or sweats! Really should try to put decent clothes on when going into public!

whoops. that would be me.

but really? pajama pants or sweats? there are worse things people can (and do) wear in public. many times I will go shopping right before or after i go to the gym...and guess what i'm wearing? well - maybe not pajama pants, but i havent ruled it out yet. (sometimes you just run out of gym clothes...it happens)

i try to go shopping when i know it wont be busy, so i tend to avoid the overcrowding in the aisles, but i can't stand when someone is standing there right in front of something you need, taking forever to make a decision. i also get frustrated when there is a line all the way to the aisles and only one or two registers open. also when people ask if they can help me find anything. if more than 2 people ask me, i find my way to the nearest exit.

we ALL should bring some chalk with us all the time!
