Women, and yes it's only ever women, that pay with a cheque at the grocery store. They take freaking forever to process. They almost never have them filled out in advance (except for the aMount).

It's 2004! Get a debit card!

Thank you.

Also there's the 88 year old lady with the plastic change holder with the slit, you know the ones you squeeze to open. She will spend 15 minutes trying to find exact change in there, so as to not inconvenience the cashier with making change :angry:

People who go through the self checkout line with a carriage full of produce really annoy me. There should be a limit to the number of non-barcode items that are allowed in the self checkout line.

Wahahahahaha - I like to try all the unusual seasonal produce just to see what they taste like. Last week I was about to buy a mushroom that weighed almost one pound - I thought I could grill it like a steak. Turns out it was gonna cost almost $9.00 for one muchroom!!! I read the wrong card and thought it was 2.99 or something. By the time the checker figured out what the mushroom was, it had a number label but they are not allowed to just punch it in - has to be verified, and I found out is was big bucks - I ended up putting it back. :devil:

Along the same lines...exact change! The total rings up to whatever dollars and 87 cents and the schmuck proceeds to dig through what appears to be an endless supply of pennies for the quarter she saw in there in 1997. When she can't find it, she then counts it out in pennies.

Shiitake mushrooms maybe? I grabbed a huge bag of them thinking they were .99/lb. Yikes! $9.99/lb!

I bought them anyway and they were good.

The only thing that can top a check at the register is a check and a lottery ticket purchase where they have to pick the numbers and they don't know them till they get to the registered. That combination is usually reserved for your elderly people.

I hate other men in the grocery store more than women. They never know where anything is and meander slowly and aimlessly throughout the aisles with a glazed, stupid look on their faces. They don't understand how the deli and seafood ordering process works, try to buy all their groceries at the pharmacy counter when picking up their Viagra prescriptions and clog up the magazine aisle oogling the latest Muscle & Fitness cover hottie.

Just yesterday, my severely pregnant wife called me on the cell phone because some slovenly geezer with two full carts of sale items had bumped her in the back of the checkout line with one of them. He was pissed because my wife had to leave the line(at the checkout girl's prompting) for 20 seconds to get another pack of batteries from an adjacent aisle while her groceries were being rung up. When she tried to get back in line, this aged fvck used profanity at her and refused to get out of her way. The checkout girl told him he needed to move, but he refused and the store manager had to be summoned. The store manager told him he needed to move his carts so she could swipe her card to pay, but he again refused causing a huge scene. The manager then had to process the sale with my wife's card while leaning over the counter because this loser refused to budge and had barricaded the checkout line with his big ass and two overloaded carts of sale items. How could anyone treat a lady, much less a ready-to-pop pregnant woman so shabbily?

Had I not been 20 minutes away and with my daughter, I would've raced there in my car and thrown the idiot onto his head. You know the type...the bitter, ugly-dispositioned unmarried geezer who hates women because they never gave him the time of day throughout his entire, pitiful life. His carts were apparently overflowing with "limit 6" items he showed up on the first day of the sale for in order to stock the two gluttonous freezers in his shanty with. He probably only ventures from his mountain hermitage once a month to buy supplies to prolong his worthless existence.

yeah well sometimes all I have is change, so you can wait a few more minutes.

 

[HippieKai]

or the old lady who HAS a debit card but has NO idea how to use it and forgets that there is a pin number and is confused about getting cash back because they used a card and pushed the cash back button when they didn't mean to and don't think they should get "change"!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHH
yes this happened just the other day.

I dont know - they were nearly as big a plate and about an inch thick - they would have been good grilled but... I can get a pretty good steak for $9.99!!!

Holy crap - you have some issues there buddy. I think the husbands of about to pop pregnant ladies should be out doing the shopping - just in case the stress leads to premature water breakage.

Hahaha! I offered, but she was experiencing cabin fever and needed some time alone out of the house and away from our two-year-old. I unloaded the car. She is already full term and her water breaking would have elicited an enthusiastic jig.

Generally I find grocery store shopping a horrible experience. It just shows me how stupid people really are. My favorite is when someone parks their cart sideways then stands next to it blocking the whole isle. I found the cure for repeat offenders of this is to run at them with your cart as fast as possible. Even the most feeble old women seems to move quickly out of your way when the hear the rumbling shopping cart of death.

 

[binary visions]

Actually, around where we are, I like it when men do the shopping because about 30% of the checkout girls are hot college girls. So, the men all follow their divining rods to the hot checkout girls, no matter how long the line is, to have their groceries fumbled around with, and their change counted out slowly, then double checked, then compared against the register monitor, then dropped in the crack next to the conveyor belt...

Meanwhile I get checked through by the nice ~60 year old woman who is efficient, bags everything for me, and tells me to have a nice day.

LOL! Guilty as charged. How are you not susceptible, though; is your divining rod broken?

No, I was just friends with a couple of the "hot checkout girls" and only had to listen to a couple minutes of the vicious comments they and their coworkers had about the guys who'd check them out/hit on them/ask them out to know that the checkout girls get hit on all the time, they do not appreciate it, and they will not go out with you.

So, the key is to go to the checkout aisle NEXT to them so you can check out their ass while your groceries are scanned

You bought (or tried to buy) Portabello mushrooms...they make excellent replacements for patties on a hamburger. yummy!

Though that price is pure rape...sorry but, you got taken. I pay about $2 per big-un. They also make great fillers in stirfry.

Shiitake shrooms are smaller and are usually located near the criminis.

 

[reflux]

When I worked as a ticket taker at Disneyland, my booth partner had a kid come up and wanted to pay in quarters. Per company policy, we gots to take everything. The two of us along with a shift leader must've spent 10 minutes counting quaters.

Honestly, I've made a conscious effort the past year to not let these kinds of situations annoy me--they are a true waste of my energy and effort. I call it, "not giving a f**k."

No really... how do you feel about it? Open up to us! Breathe! Relax! Doesn't it feel better to let your TRUE feelings be heard?

I will never understand that opinion. In no way are they a viable substitute.*wrech* gag*passout* They are big enough and that is about it...they aint no beef patty replacement.

Even my vegitarian fiance can't stand them on burgers.....she goes Boca "burgers" though. I have to agree with her....say no to mushroom patties.

I am trying to employ the same strategy. It seems to be working. I try not to hate either. All that hate and frustration just builds up until you are just like them... Alone hateful and oblivious is no way to be....jdcamb

I still think the sign said $2.99 and the clerk was looking up the wrong item - $9.00 for one mushroom is insane!!!

i am the same way. man, if i let everyone who inconvinienced me or did something stupid throughout the day piss me off, i would be furious all the time. i dont think i cn handle that kind of stress. it sure as hell isnt worth it.
