Like, I like food and poo poo, I like to cook, and I like buying my food, so I want to go to the grocery store. I have to and I want to. But why the gently caress does it suck? Cramped aisles, can never find the specific loving thing I want, can't remember what the gently caress I need for the dickfart of me, long rear end checkout lines with some ugly pissed off cashier. No one to bag my poo poo so the line takes forever, some bitch can't input her phone number right, an awkward wait for the loving debit card to go through without making conversation, pushing a cart out to the car, unloading my loving groceries, finding a place to push the stupid rear end cart, and then going home

and unloading my loving groceries

the gently caress

It seems you're mad about something that takes up less then 1% of your weekly time and is a necessity to life in our western culture.

I'd wager you spend more time touching yourself.

The new credit card chip readers things. You have to wait like 3 minutes for the thing to go through. Convenience my rear end.

Other than that, shopping is fine, unless they move the store inventory around again and you have to relearn that they put the coffee with the vegetables this week or some other bullshit.

UNEXPECTED ITEM IN BAGGING AREA... PLEASE WAIT FOR ASSISTANCE...

I had that stupid drat thing go off twice in a row once. It's like all the major retailers bought from the exact same company and all their self-checkouts suck. It still beats the alternative of getting in line behind:

  • Person with a completely full cart
  • Person with a bag full of a hundred coupons
  • Person who insists on letting their toddler put all the items on the conveyor belt, do the credit card reader, and frankly anything other than sit in the cart and keep quiet
  • Person with a bag full of a hundred coupons who argues with the cashier about which items are accepted and which aren't
  • Person who initiates long, personal conversation with the cashier
  • Combinations of the above

When there's fifteen regular checkouts, fifty customers, and three lines are open while a sleepy teenage floor manager listlessly calls for team members to come up to the front... if they feel like it.

one time, i was at a costco and there was some dude in biker gang gear (like the vest with the patches and poo poo) riding the cart very fast the wrong way down the main aisle, yelling at people. DOn't know what happened after, I was checking out.

anyway, sorry normal people activities bother you so much

Please do A or B.

Avoid option C, which is to let the frustration take increasing control of you until you're active killing at the grocery store.

I normally have them delivered before I get up or right before I get home and just have the porter leave them outside my front door so the dogs aren't disturbed.

My wife and I enjoy going to the grocery store and looking at all the things we can afford because the global bourgeoisie continues to enjoy the bounty that the global proletariat produces.

Then we go home not buying any of it, because we are at the most marginal level of bourgeoisie, precariously close to falling down a class as the truly elite expand their treasuries faster than we can stay relevant to their whims.
