The mandatory double-bagging, the woman who blocks the whole aisle with her cart while she reads the back of every single tomato soup can...What gets on your last nerve about grocery shopping?
My grocery store pet peeve is when the checker talks too much while checking. It takes twice as long that way not to mention possible making a mistake :)
I agree, In fact that reminded me .. Someone made comment to my DH & how unhealthy some of the foods he bought were. They need to do what they are getting paid for :)
Well since I only grocery shop once a month it irks me when ppl make comments bout she must be paying w foodstamps...Just cause I have a family of 5 and have 3 buggies going up to the register doesnt mean Im paying w foodstamps.....
I hate when ppl stand behind me complaining cause Im using coupons...Unless u want to pay for my groceries quit complaining how Im saving money....
I cant stand when ppl block the aisles and they know ppl r trying to get by, be considerate to the other ppl in the store...
And finally cashier dont ask me if u can come home w me to eat...If I wanted u to come I promise I would invite u joking or not Im to stressed out by the time I get to the register I dont want to hear ur crap....
We must shop at the same store. My store has the BEST piped-in music ever. Unusual stuff that I like. But it's always "Good evening associates. Deli, you have a call on Line 3."
And I think our seafood counter is open from about 9:00 to 9:02 AM.
I hate that they don't adjust the Unit Price on the shelf tag when something is on sale. It's hard to figure whether the smaller one on sale is a better buy than the larger size not on sale.
My major peeve at any store, and my supermarket is really bad at this, is checkout clerks that talk to each other & don't acknowledge me. They may or may not be checking my stuff as they talk.
Also hate when something goes wrong in the self-checkout. I don't often use them, partly for that reason & partly so someone's job isn't lost to a machine. But when I see long lines, I'll use them. About half the time, something goes wrong that makes it take much longer. Grrr.
LOL. I actually kind of get a kick out of it when they comment on what I buy. 'Course, I've never had an experience like you & Hugs had. Hugs--that's AWFUL! But I buy some unusual things, & it cracks me up when young checkers ask me about it. "What is this?"How does this taste?" And I buy white vinegar in gallon bottles because I use it for deodorizing things & for clearing drains. One kid asked me "What do you cook with all that vinegar?" All the women in the line got into the converstion about what they use vinegar for around the house. LOL.
One time when I was checking out i bought a big bottle of water and the check out girl asked me how big it was. I told her it was a liter and a half. She said that she could never drink that much water, and I told her I drink two of them a day and she was like you are crazy. She said that all she can drink is flavored sugar water. She look at me like iwas crazy.
How about when you are checking out and the person behind you has their cart pushed all up on your backside. Or when the person behind you in line thinks they need to start putting their items on the belt before yours have even started to be rang (rung?) up. Uuugghh! LOL Coleen
Oh, let's see...
The speakers begin to play a song you just love, but they break into it to tell you there's a special on green beans in Aisle 3.
Someone has her kid "save her place" in the check line, then she gets in front of you with an overflowing cart.
The store is open 24 hours, the sign over the door says the doors are to be open during business hours, but they lock all but one anyway.
The store is open 24 hours, but the meat/fish counter closes almost at dusk.
My pet peeve...
A long line of people waiting to be checked out and only ONE cash register open.Grrr.

Hi Corrime,
Fun question ..
My grocery store pet peeve is when the checker talks too much while checking.
It takes twice as long that way not to mention possible making a mistake :)
I hate when the check out clerk COMMENTS ON WHAT I'M BUYING! I don't want to think that they are noticing what I'm buying.
After one move, I had a toilet plunger and the looks that those cruel and evil high school boys exchanged at the check out...
In fact that reminded me ..
Someone made comment to my DH & how unhealthy some of the foods he bought were.
They need to do what they are getting paid for :)
