I loving hate when avocados are out of season and they costlike 2x normal price and are tiny and mostly pit. Stores should just refuse to accept that those are avocados The worst part is as far as I've been able to tell all the major grocers have the same importer for them so everyone's getting the same lovely ones

The grocery store is my number one destination to hear comments about how I smell like garbage, have garbage on my body, and how I am probably a garbage man, even though I have made it clear to the whole community I am struggling to find work. gently caress the goddamn grocery store.

Target is so rife with credit card fraud that my weekly trip there gets declined if I use my debit card since my bank basically just assumes all Target transactions are fraud. But ya the chip cards blow; the best part is they are completely pointless for credit cards that are chip and sign. Maybe that is what the loud as gently caress donk donk donk sound is for, to deter would be criminals???

meet girls at the store posted:Just lol if you don't just do all of your food shopping at Costco instead, and pick up a $1.50 all beef hot dog and fountain drink WITH refill while you're there Costco is a garbage fire here (Aus) we have one for the entire state. People turn to animals in there, leaving the huge gently caress off trolleys in the middle of the aisle and daydream at the shelf, kids running riot, getting cut off at every turn. Then there is the apocalypse-like trolley jam at each tasting table. And lol at even trying to line up for an hour at their restaurant. And the motherfuckers charge you to shop there.

You didn't hear it from me but every big grocery chain is constantly having their transaction systems compromised they're just better at hiding that it happens.

I like going to the grocery store because women will flirt with me and I can feel like I am wanted by somebody, if even for a moment or two.

Always a lot of good looking ladies at the grocery store. If I was single Id make sure to look my best while going grocery shopping, and hope one of them talks to me (I wouldnt want to bother anyone that doesnt want to be accidentally). Seems way better pickings than tinder or bumble or the bars around here.

Lol if food shopping doesn't take you all day. Need produce? You go to the market. Need bread? Go to a bakers. Milk and eggs get delivered so that's nice but meat? Off to the butchers with a quick stop over at the cheese shop.

I actually enjoy going to the grocery store (typically Kroger) most of the time. It's relaxing to browse through the aisles and pick out stuff to buy that I don't really need at all.

I was at Wal-Mart the other day and just about to leave rolling my cart to the exit. And there was an old woman standing right in front of the exit door talking to the greeter, blocking the exit. I keep walking toward her thinking she will move but she keeps standing there yakking away to the greeter. And she's right in the center between the two theft alarms so there's no way for me to move around her. So I get right up behind her and stop, but she doesn't move at all she still talking. She either didn't see me or she didn't care. I had to walk over and go out the entrance door instead (but it made me feel like a criminal because it said 'do not enter') What the gently caress is wrong with old people. Why do they have to talk to everyone in the store all the time. In tyool 2016 human interaction is over. You do your shopping, keep your head down, don't talk to people, and get out. Maybe check the forums on your phone a couple times so you don't miss anything important.

If you talk to (I know I know hear me out) one of the managers they will figure out who the vendor is and make sure the product is stocked and if your store isn't stocking it anymore they will order it stocked for you.

My local post office now has self service machines for packages and I spent a looong time in a queue the other week watching the pitiful attempts of the people in front of me to operate them. I guessed they must be super-sensitive and poorly designed to cause everyone who used them such difficulties. Nope - it finally came to my turn and it was a piece of piss to complete a transaction: the guys in front of me were just all horrible morons who couldn't read instructions or interpret signs. That's my self checkout story.

The company that makes those self check outs clearly did a hardware rev at some point on their scales cause there are older ones that will unexpected item you if you breath too heavy but newer ones are fine.

Stick to going to the grocery store either after 9pm or before 9am and you're usually good; either cut the time you have to spend in there by half cause you can just zoom down the aisles and get all your poo poo quick or you can stroll around the place taking your time and it's legitimately relaxing. On Sundays you can maybe push it till 10am but yeah once you start heading closer to noon it goes downhill real quick. Also self checkout lines are awesome. Yeah you might come across a bad machine here and there but usually if you're not a complete idiot you can make the process go way quicker and avoid obligatory conversation with either a teen who's half asleep or an elderly woman who's way too cheerful and has commentary on every item you buy and both of them are pushing you to get the store credit card or some poo poo.
