We need some more productive bitching around here

[Smurfy]

Lets not spend time bitching about men bitching about bitches or vice versa. Lets get a real convo going. Something worthwhile.

Lets have a massive rant about how the grocery store really sucks on the weekends! Post up your gripes about grocery shopping and what really irks you about it.

I hate the fact that one gallon of milk is $3.25 but two gallons is $4.00. Why can't they cut the price of the first gallon? My frig is too small.

(and smurfy is hawt)

 

[Smurfy]

Good call, DT! The prices are outrageous.

The bagging lady was packing my 10 items into 5 different bags, so I started talking to her in the "Welcome to McDonalds, can I help you?" retard voice. The whole store was cracking up but I don't think she realized my patronization.

 

[Deus Ex Machina]

OT, but i really hate the word 'irks' because it's something that an overweight office secretary would say after someone took the last tomato in the company salad.

don't you really hate it when you're trapped in the aisles? like, there's just huge congestion because some people park their carts in the middle and leave it while in search of other products? i hate that

 

[Smurfy]

good one. good one. the employees and especially the baggers are totally spazoids.

 

[Burning_Inside]

this thread will last as a novelty for about 2 hours, then back to gender gripes.

Why does the self check out lines accept cash? They should be ATM/debit card only.

 

[Smurfy]

lol yep.

or basket collisions, those are the worst. ever get blindsided by someone who's walking down the aisle, but just happens to be looking at things on the shelf while simultaneously smashing into your cart? it's even worst when kids are involved because they come running outta nowhere and make sound effect noises.

 

[tuc biscuit]

when people drive their cart over my heels, when people stare

 

[daveyboy]

Can I post up how my f**king dental insurance plan hasn't still sent me any dental forms after a month now. I've called those bastards 4 times now asking for some forms. They keep telling me the same old shit....that they show on their records that they were sent. I haven't received shit. I've got $1200 worth of bills that need to be paid sometime soon here. I'm real tired of getting the runaround but don't quite know how to get somebody to get off their f**king ass & make sure it gets taken care of. Unfortunately I'll probably have to go back to my dentist & ask for their help. I hate incompetence. Assholes.

Thank you. I feel better now.

that should be a given though, you're probably the biggest guy in England, lol...

LOL. yes kids should be banned from the grocery store

 

[BileStew]

I hate when Smurfy doesn't say "bitches" more often in her posts.

I get extremely excited and feel the need to "bag my own groceries" in private when she says bitches.

 

[Smurfy]

kids are a complete and utter menace at the grocery store, i almost NEVER bring my son with me and when i do, he sits his happy ass in the cart! damn strait

 

[tuc biscuit]

hah, the last time I went...I was loading a few bag of potatoes onto my trolley and a woman was just stood gawping open mouthed at me, but old people still don't get out of my way

 

[Smurfy]

davey boy what you need to do is the following

1. make sure the numbnuts have your correct address

2. call again and if you dont get your answer within 3 seconds, demand to speak to a manager

3. call your HR person at work

4. have your dentist office harrass the living hell out of the insurance company

Thanks Smurf. I've done all of the following except #4. That one should be coming up this week. Sorry for changing the topic of your thread but this has been bugging the shit out of me for awhile now & I just needed to vent a little.

[jenscats5]

Why at Trader Joes do they have to make the aisles so small?? When you have congestion it turns into gridlock. I sometimes have to move peoples carts & they get really upset but they just won't move!!

Also on a side note but still related to shopping -- why is everything at Home Depot so freakin dusty?? I HATE the feel of drywall dust on my hands -- it really freaks me out & everything at Home Depot is covered in it. Gotta go by ceramic tile tomorrow & I just can't wait.......

 

[Lumberg]

I don't remember having a particularlyt hard time at the store on weekends.

Evenings are a freakin' mess though

It's all about the self check-out, as long as some idiot that doesn't know what they're doign isn't in front of you.

And yeah peopel who are not cognizant of theuir whereabouts

(liek come out of an aisle totally looking the other way right inot the path of your cart) should be shot.

That is all/

I hate those new "fridge pack" 12-packs of canned Coca Cola products. They won't fit easily into any sort of bag. And I hate when I ask the cashier to put my 12-packs in bags, and they just look at me like I have two heads, and bust out the little cardboard handle on the 12-pack box. Like I'm supposed to be able to carry two 12-packs AND my other grocery bags, with only two hands.

I live only a couple of blocks from my neighborhood supermarket, so I always walk there. The cashiers don't understand the concept of anyone who didn't drive to the supermarket. I have to carry that shit, and it's got to hold up for a two-block walk. The hand-hole on a 12-pack box will barely survive long enough to get to the parking lot, much less remain intact for the walk home.

 

[RADAR]

I almost fell at checkout tonight because the lazy fat lady was to retarded to move her buggy she left it a the checkout i forgot about it,had my back to it unloading my stuff onto the checkout,turned around a ran head on into it stumbled several time before i caught myself. all her lazy fat ass had to do is push it beck to the door where she came in.


RADAR

 

[GoldenDelicious]

oh you caught me in a rare mood tonight so im going to tell you what pisses me off about grocery shopping

i cant stand the abuse of market power and dictation of goods quality by major shopping chains. it gives me the shits royally that i go into a large shopping centre wanting to buy some nice, tasty fruit, and ll i see is that fruit that *looks* nice but really tastes like crap. what do i give a shit if a lemon looks gorgeous and plasticy if, when i squeeze that damn thing, i get about a tablespoon and a half of juice? not to mention the rind is about half an inch thick while the pulp is loose and flaccid?

i want fruit that tastes good dammit! i dont give a crap if it has a little brown spot on it, i just want some damn fruit that tastes nice.

and if you dont want to offer nice tasting fruit then dont undercut the local greengrocer who used to sell nice tasting fruit by so much that he goes broke!

sorry thats a pet peev of mine.

 

[westsnoop]

I look at the grocery ad and shop accordingly. Never fails that 6 0f the 10 sale items are out of stock...on a Sunday when the ad breaks! And hunting down a stocker to write rainchecks is a real time consuming game.

When I get to the checkout they've eliminated the "expensive" baggers, and gone to a lazy susan type of system where the cashier bags the products as she rings them up. What could have gone into three bags now goes into eight.

Companies need to pull their head out of their ass.

My old job fucked EVRYTHING up all the time.

insurance,w2 forms,addresses,retirement,etc. You nameit and they fucked it up.

You had to do everything 10 times and ride their ass in order to get anything done.

It's been almost 3 months and I still haven't received my retirement check!!!!!!!!

I hear ya brother! I've been "retired" too for 6 mos now (soap plant got bought out) & getting my new insurance coverage set up has been a nightmare.

 

[SoreArms]

only morons shop on weekends.

yeah, except for me. Why does every fuck head decide to go to the maket on the weekends, when I happen to go? I am sure that 90% of those people can go to the market during the week, unlike me.

also, there is always some wanna be slick fuck who passes through more than 10 items in the 10 items or less line. When it's 11 or 12, OK but some dip shits will try to go through with a full baskets' worth of groceries.

lol, you said trolley

Brits are funny some times

 

[pitbullstl]

only morons shop on weekends.

Amen.......I got to the grocery store (to supplement my wife's shopping) after 11 on a weeknight........it's just me and the stocker guys and gals......and boy do they get a kick out of me.......

 

[ZKaudio]

haha u go in there and buy like 30 lbs of meat

 

[pitbullstl]

haha u go in there and buy like 30 lbs of meat

Usually just an assload of ground turkey....eggs....and milk.....pretty much takes up the whole cart.......I actually had a semi-hot check out chick ask me if I was a stinky bastard or not........deadpan.......she didn't even blink.....haven't seen here at the ol' store in awhile.......
