I hate how you can't ask for a taste of the fruit. I only buy fruit from the market now, too often I came home with a good haul of fresh fruit only to discover to my horror that it's total shit.

Does anyone remember banned user RanOutOfWeed?  He once made a thread about how his local newspaper wrote an article about his racist rant when he went to a town hall meeting to complain about "black people sitting on the fruit" at the grocery store.  So I guess he felt pretty strongly about it.

:ahahaha: see black people can get away with sitting on fruit but I sit on a zucchini and somehow I'm a sex offender.  Racists all of them.

Above all else I fucking hate the moms with their young children crying and screaming at the top of their lungs while they act completely oblivious and take their good old time putting like $150 worth of groceries through the self-checkout while making everyone else stand by and listen to their Devil's spawn scream and cry like a broken record player

Like I mean I understand that some people have no choice, they have to bring their kid shopping with them for whatever reason but I mean come the fuck on, at least give the poor kid a damn lollipop so he'll stop raping our ears with his droning little hacksaw of a voice




There's a good reason why they don't. Kids throw tantrums as a method to get things they want. Giving in reinforcing that behavior. While not giving in results in a tantrum spike, the kids soon figure out it didn't work & the behavior improves. So they'll not be screaming in a store far sooner than those that get what they want every time they flip.

The long lines, but the worst is when you see an item that you normally buy, and you see that it has risen in price dramatically.

But for me, it was working in one. I had a cashier job for like 4 months in junior year of high school. I made $8 an hour. It sucked. I decided to quit and got myself a job at a 5 star restaurant and started making $20-$35 an hour for all of senior year. From then on, everytime I bought beer I went to that grocery store and balled out.

I don't like that all the groceries are distributed throughout the store in such a way that you have to cover the whole store to get a meal.

They do this to make people see more of their products, so that more gets sold.

That obviously didnt have people lugging a 150lbs backpack around in mind.

I'm not lazy. You try it, bicycling there, shopping in a grand tour of the store and bicycling back with 150lbs strapped to you. Not very comfortable.



Fun fact: The cereal aisle, all the mascots on cereal boxes eyes are ridiculously huge, and point down and to the right, this makes the characters catch children by the eye enticing them to grab the box and say "MOMMY MOMMY". The color schemes play into it as well, but i don't remember how exactly.

I used to work in a supermarket as a night cashier. The one that I worked at was called Sobeys, it always bothered me walking around the store seeing all the priming and general coersion. The name Sobeys actually has the word 'obey' in it, the way they stylize the lettering for it leaves the 's's barely looking like letters in the sense of the chosen font for the rest of the word. So it says obey, in big giant letters all over the store. What I dislike about going to supermarkets is actually just the process of paying for shit though. It always feels so awkward and it feels like a maybe fifth of all of them are actually genuinely friendly. Interac flash really helps with this awkwardness. Thank Jesus.

That is also a pain, yes. On the flipside of that its nice to have a supermarket in walking distance. which i do.

Sometimes i go to CVS instead. they even have the milk cheaper sometimes. lots of deals you wouldn't expect to be cheaper than the market!

One thing that sucks about living in the country... Also you have to drive 2 hours to go to any restaurant that is decent.

I've actually bought spices from CVS, they were only 99 cents. Quality wasn't bad either.

I hate stores that verify your receipt before allowing you to leave.  Sams Club is the WORST with this, they make you wait in a line to leave the fucking store!  After you already paid them for your SHIT!!  I cant stand that.

I've always wondered if places like Sam's Club or Costco ever catches people leaving without stuff they didn't pay for or the cashier didn't ring up. I've never seen anybody get caught before. If I worked there seems like you'd get used to just glossing over the receipt without actually looking closely at every single item.

i try and always stop at roadside trucks/independents or little farm shacks that sell their fresh picked by the side of the road.  And i don't like supermarkets because their food isn't fresh a lot of the times and also, and you can only pick up married women there on weekdays, as a general rule.
