On the verge of checking out?
Sunday morning coffee. Friends. Much talk of grocery store rage. They talked me into getting this category started. Here we go.  Oh, you know you’ve been there. Bring it.

How about when people that stand in the check out and wait until AFTER their five hundred items have been checked……then….AND ONLY THEN…….they decide to hunt for their check book and now it’s been three minutes after they’ve received their total and NOW they start writing the check?
If I were Minster Of Corrections I would have these people thrown in prison for at least six months…….and I’m not kidding.

Amen, Minister of Corrections. And why does Albertson’s have the ‘enter’ door on the left and the ‘exit’ on the right? I know it’s My Store, but it’s confusing. Although, it was sort of comforting to stand outside the store and watch a woman, who just said something mean to me, as she tried to enter the exit.

I can’t tell you how offensive Albertson’s is to me. Their prices are through the roof. I’ve wanted to stand up on a check out isle with a bullhorn and scream through it: “Why are you idiots shopping here?!?!”
They are LITERALLY twice as expensive as some other stores. Hey…..I’ve got an idea…..let me just start FLUSHING money down the toilet!!! No…..not light cigars with the money……FLUSH IT DOWN THE TOILET!!! That’s what you get when shopping at Albertson’s……..in my opinion.

I am sorry I missed “coffee”. However, I was only told about it by ONE of our “muskateers” and it wasn’t of the female species. I was STILL in my pj’s…I’m SO glad I got advanced notice.
Here’s MY pet peeve! CUPONS! I AB”WHORE” it when people flip throw a stack of cupons (which takes 10 minutes) to save TEN CENTS! THEN…THEN…THEN they ARGUE with the clerk about how the “price is NOT right”. I would PAY you 10 CENTS NOT to talk anymore…SHUT UP!

VERY LOUD PAGES! REPEATED! Right in the middle of the soothing elevator music. That is, unless the page is very entertaining, like the one overheard a few years ago in Wal-Mart. “I have a man by the balls in sports who needs assistance. I have a man by the balls in sports who needs assistance.”

Let me just say that most of my grocery store experiences have been horrifying to the point where I wake up in the middle of the night screaming in a cold sweat.
We could start another entire blog about my driving experiences. I feel going down that road would be entirely inappropriate because if I was armed hundreds of people would be dead and there’s no question I would be raped by a prison warden.

How about the discount cards? I miss the days when you didn’t need to have a secret discount card.

Not much can ruin my Target shopping experience. I get my mocha, browse the entire store buying things I don’t need because they’re on sale and then forget the groceries we needed. However, what about when they wave you over to the 10 items or less register because they’re not busy and you have, like a hundred items in your cart and then the people who have two get in line behind you. Talk about getting the stink eye!
Oh, and the cars that won’t stop in the pedestrian crossing. I have actaully stopped a car by holding my hand up like the school crossing guard. Can these people not read STOP in giant letters painted on the ground?

I think I would have run you over…gotten out…bitch slapped your face…then run you over again had I seen you doing that.
October 24th, 2007 at 12:06 pm
One of y’all is going to be crying before dark!
October 24th, 2007 at 1:40 pm
Crying before dark? Why? Is this a threat?
October 24th, 2007 at 8:17 pm
I think she’s threatening us, Ron. You wanna come over HERE and say THAT to MY FACE, Talley?!
October 26th, 2007 at 1:51 am
Sherri, you need to get some pictures on your site. If possible, post one of Lindsay bitch slapping pedestrians @ Target.

A man was arrested for eating jelly beans at Albertson’s yesterday. I feel safer knowing this animal is off the streets.

I only wish I could repeat the story (with demonstrations)my boss told me of two women fighting in the parking lot of the Wal-Marts. Children and carts were tossed aside and clothes were torn off while onlookers gasped in horror. Where’s the TMZ camera when you need it?
November 7th, 2007 at 6:56 am
I saw the most horrible thing ever in the new WalMart parking lot. A woman stopped in the parking lot with about four cars behind her. Fortunately I was out of my car watching this.
She waited perhaps two minutes while a person loaded their car with groceries so she could get that parking space.
Here’s the best part. Literally right next to that car a space was open. She couldn’t park there of course because she would have to WALK AN EXTRA THREE FEET!!!
I stood motionless watching this entire event in horror. I don’t think I blinked once during the ordeal.
It’s a good thing I wasn’t one of those waiting behind her.

This, rt, is part of the vicious cycle of obesity! People should demand legislation that eliminates all grocery store parking within an eighth of a mile of the entrance. There would still be handicapped spaces, though. Not to say the law would be followed, though. When I was on crutches a few weeks ago, I parked far away from the store so I could get more exercise. I actually hobbled by a city councilman who was getting into his car, parked in the fire lane.
November 7th, 2007 at 7:32 pm
What good would it do (your parking legislation) when some of these fat asses would barely be making it in the front door of the grocery store and then they would go in there and buy hundreds of donuts and fried food and gleefully exit the building knowing that they would gain 20 pounds before getting back to their car?
No. Your post makes no sense and should be deleted at once.

Is it against the law to eat stuff from your basket while you’re shopping?
December 20th, 2007 at 4:24 am
Sorta on Topic, and Most guys will understand this one more so then the gals.
Why is it when we go to the store with a shopping list which is made out by the better half (he says with his tounge in cheek) does the dran thing not contain anything edible.
Chips Check
Dog food check
Dog treats check
Toliet Paper Check
Paper Towles Check
Where is the feakin meat
veggies
Man that steams me up…
And why is it when you get to the store and the store during its busiest time have only 2 asiles open. and one of those is the express lane.
Its times like these I can alomst understand why people leave a business and then come back with an gun and shoot the place up.
In fact thought about it myself a few times

You know what really ticks me off at the check out counter is how customers treat the check out people. I have seen
some really unload on them. I will tell the customer off because the check out people can’t. Stand up for the check out people!! PS I am not a check out person, just a check out people supporter!! Yes, I really do have a life!!

YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY GRINDS MY GEARS!!!
I can’t stand when you’re already swamped with work and someone else in the newsroom (people in positions that shall remain nameless but their duties include stacking news shows) asks you to do a vo/sot or something when their show is 4 hours away!
I’m all about contributing, but it just IRKS me when they ask at the most inopportune time!
