The grocery store makes me want to kill myself

I go in for two things. TWO THINGS. That should take three minutes tops. As I try to get through the aisles I notice that people who are stopped don't move their carts to the side. It's almost as if they intentionally arrange their carts so as to block the whole aisle.
I finally fight through the cart obstacles and the slow-moving people and get my two things. I go up to one of those self-checkout lanes and I get stuck behind some snail of an old lady who takes forever to scan her shit and then she proceeds to take out a bunch of coupons and scan those slowly. After fifteen minutes she finally has her 10 items scanned, her coupons scanned, and her stuff bagged up. Then she stands there and SLOWLY puts her money in her little purse and arranges it and shit. DEAR FUCKING CHRIST.
Then I go up to the self-checkout thing and start to scan my two measly things. I scan my first item and the screen starts flashing and saying, "Please wait for assistance". Why do these self-checkout things fuck up all of the time? I swear to God that %75 of the time I use one a person has to come over and fix them. Anyways, I started swearing at the thing and people were looking at me. Then I got out and the traffic was so bad that it was unbearable.
Thirty fucking minutes for two little items. FUCK THE WORLD.

Theres always at least two crazy hot women walking around in their tight workout sweats when i go to the grocery store. Some amazing looking young moms without their husbands too.
It makes it worth the trip, but ive also had some similar bad times where i just drop my stuff and walk out like WHAT THE FUCK!!!!

I know what you're sayin' Grocery stores are just depressing and the music and lighting sucks and in nyc the food is often spoiled and you bring roaches home in your bag. Fuck the grocery store. Thank god for farmer's markets and bodegas.

Whether I'm at the bank or the store it always seems like whoever is in front of me is taking 5 minutes too long to finish whatever they need to. I get in, get my shit done, and get out. Why the hell can't the rest of the world be like that?

man, that's what grocery lists are for. The number of times I've had that happen to me over little trifles such as a bottle... Damn it's annoying. I've started making lists. :o

there is a way to get even you know. you gotta make an enormous shopping list (like a months worth of groceries) and then go real late when theres just one check out line open. don't let any of the people with 1-3 items cut in front. make them all wait and pretend you don't even see them there.

A cart for two items? Why don't you use a basket or just carry them so you can weave through the old people with carts?

Shopping lists don't help. It doesn't make the jumbo women with carts in the middle of the aisles disappear. It's worse when they have their small dumb children running around.
