Grocery/Supermarket Rage

[member2686]

Ric0chet, that was fucking hilarious!!! LOL!!! Old ladies on the bus. lol

Another thing that pisses me off at the grocery is that CHEAP-ASS person ahead of you in line...the cashier rings in the item, and it scans like 5 cents more than it should have. The person then mentions it and has some bagger kid running all over the store for a price check on the item. I know this is an international board here, but here in the USA, our grocery stores can be fucking MAMMOTH. That 5 cent price discrepancy can LITERALLY take 5 minutes to resolve. The stores are HUGE here, and we stand there while the damned kid runs all over hell and back checking a price. I have literally, honest to God, GIVEN money to the person ahead of me before over such silliness.

"Ma'am. Excuse me. I know you've asked for a price check on that item, but please accept my dollar/quarter/dime (whatever) and let's keep the line moving, please." They are SHOCKED when you do that. Try it. They blush like crazy and I bet they never fucking do it again. It's a brilliant thing. LOL

Shopping rage...gotta love it and hate it!!!

I've seen a guy take advantage of a price-match deal for a 1¢ difference. His statement to the cashier was, "It's the princple of the thing." The fuck is that supposed to mean?!

I've worked a couple of week in a supermarket... you really can't believe the things that's going on there... i was almost going berserk after the second week, i quite the job... if a did'nt quite i would have go on a killing spree... :ak47:
And i was just putting the stuff on the shelves, imagine what the cashiers must go through every fucking day !!
Btw, my brother is going to the supermarket... i try to stay away from that crazy place !! :turnturn:

P.S. I hope i was clear enough... for those who want it, i could go translate this message in my french thread...

I hate when ppl who obviously have more than 20 items get in the Express Lane...pisses me off soooooo BAD!!!!!

You should try working that lane. I used to work at a grocery store while I was going to school and my boss used to put me on the 10 items or less lane all the time, and when people with a basket full of groceries would go through it would piss me off royally, even after I pointed out the sign to them, some of them would even give me an attitude about "the customer is always right". But I found good ways to get even :thefinger ... nothing really nasty (maybe a bugger here and there) mostly overcharging them, crushing the bread, making a hole in the bread bag so the bread would go stale quicker, crush eggs and bruise veggies, pretend to bag some of their stuff when actually all I did was leave it under the counter, putting a can of tuna on the scale when weighing their vegetables, all of this done in a very subtle manner they would leave without noticing a thing. So the moral of the story people is never go through the express lane with more items that you are allowed, you never know if one of my buddies is manning that lane

I worked as Customer Service in a grocery store for over 4 years.....people are fucking stupid! They'll drive all the way home and realize they got over-charged by 2 cents for a can of peas and drive aaaaaaall the way back and wait in line for a fucking refund...they spent more in gas and time than they're getting in their damn refund. We'd also have ppl call and want us to price check their entire fucking grocery list because we obviously have nothing better to do.....I could seriously go on for hours about how instantly retarded people become when they walk through the door of a grocery store!

I have been working in the grocery business for over 6 years now, and oh some of the shit I have seen. I am surprised I am still alive, and out of jail to talk about it. I could have easily killed about 1000+ customers. My job has turned me into such a bitter person, it is incredible. I have no faith in the intelligence of humankind anymore. Work that long with the public and it will seriously scare you at how stupid our species can be. After working there, I think apes evolved from humans, not the other way around. The worst part for me is when people walk in, and automatically come up to me and ask where something is. I just want to shout, "walk around and read the fucking signs you stupid dumbfuck." Oh, and this really chaps my ass as well. I am in my ugly, fucking obvious work uniform, right? Well you would not believe how many people will come up to me and ask, "uh do you work here." No I fucking wear this uniform because it is the latest fucking fashion trend to come out of Italy. Ughh, what morons that do walk beside us.

Whenever I get extremely pissed-off at the market/superstore world, I watch Clerks. Puts my mind at ease.

A long time ago, I was a cashier at a grocery. It was the longest 3 months of my life, I think. Here's the thing: people HAVE to go to the grocery. They HAVE to buy food. No one really WANTS to be there, spending loads of money on their food and toiletries. It's totally different if you work in a clothes store or music shop or whatever. People WANT to shop for those things, usually. But at the grocery, people loathe it and it's a chore.

I make certain to go out of my way to be kind to anyone in the service industry. Cashiering is not mentally challenging, really, but it's tough work. There's an endless line of people, and everyone's in a hurry to get home or wherever they're going.

Now, my frustration is not with waiting in line, but with the idiots of the world who get less and less polite. People will stand in the middle of a grocery shop aisle talking on a mobile phone, acting as if no one else in the world even exists. People will have half-hour conversations as they walk around the grocery holding their mobile phones, and everyone in the world can hear them talk about cousin Christy's yeast infection and brother Pete's shoe size. I don't fucking care to hear that! Get out of the way. Buy your stuff and GO! lol

Man....lol Sorry. I guess I'm not done ranting and raving yet. lol

I agree....I used to hate when ppl would talk on a cell phone while trying to pay for their groceries or whatever, it used to piss me off so bad, it's so fucking rude!
