When you go to do a supermarket to do your grocery shopping...............

I'm pretty patient when I'm at the grocery store. I live in small-town USA, so most of my fellow grocers are pretty polite. The cashiers, even the teenagers are friendly. They help me take my groceries to my car. However, on the few occassions I go to the larger market, my biggest pet peeve is when people park their carts in the middle of a narrow aisle so you can't get around them. And then if you politely ask them to move their cart, they look at you as if you'd insulted their mother.

I get mad at the self checkout at the grocery store. No one is ever in that line, so I usually end up going to it. Even though I hate it, I hate waiting in line even more. The self checkout never seems to read barcodes, doesn't take coupons, doesn't recognize specials, or rings up the wrong price on the products you buy. I almost always have to get a cashier to help me and fix the dumb machine! Self checkouts are incredibly annonying!

Children running round and running wild! Parents that let their kids run around the shop like it's a big adventure playground, then start screaming at them or worse! That's why I avoid going grocery shopping at the weekends. At our local supermarket they are good about opening more tills if there are queues. I like children but there's a time and a place for them lol! And as I hate shopping anyhow I find it a great chore, I want it as easy, quiet and as painfree as possible!

I have loads to rant about in the supermarket: 1) How very understaffed they are 2) How there are loads of tills yet 2-3 staff on these tills 3) How customers want to sit there and chat to the very few cashiers 4) How the older people want to sit there and count their pennies and their coupons 5) How cashiers think they are god 6) When managers refuse to step down from their spot 7) When managers think that eating whilst talking to a customer is acceptable 8) When there is little stock 9) When the little stock is not good quality 10) When you accidentaly bump into a trolly and the other person go beserk 11) When the child infront throws a major tantrum because he cant have a sweetie thats all i can think of at the moment but i will have more at some point hehe

OHhh it so has to be the wait in line. That drives me up the wall. I can't stand when there are plenty of lines around and only 2 cashiers. I get pissy. LOL Sometimes I leave my basket at the service counter and tell them why I am leaving. It gets their attention real quick. :)

It isn't so much that it burns me up, but it stresses me out. Where I do my weekly shop, week in and week out for a large family of good eaters, we have to pack our own bags. The problem is, they don't want us to pack them at the till. They want us to get the stuff into the trolley and get the hell out of the way so they can check the next customer through. I don't really want to throw all my stuff in willy nilly. The bread and fruit and eggs still can't go under the canned food, etc,so why not just allow me the extra 30 seconds to pack things properly? The store was really bad when they first opened and would bark at us that we weren't alloed to pack at the till. They have sense loosened up, but they have instilled in the shoppers a sense of fear and panic!

cashiers that won't speak english to me, and crazy people that ram their carts into the back of your legs

To me it would be the long wait in line and also the way they keep on raising the prices and also sometimes you can not find any help around to check a price or some of the people who works at the store act like they are to good to help you out or they just stand around and it takes forever to find something because they moved it.

The most annoying thing about our supermarket is their air drainage system , i dont know why and how the rotten smell stays in the rrom and it iritates me the most.
