Grocery Store Blues...


Grocery shopping is a wonderful time to be entertained by people...here are a couple of my favorite:
  • The person who stands right in front of the item that you need...starring, completely obstructing your ability to make it an efficient grocery trip, probably thinking..."do I go with the generic, store brand version of mac 'n cheese or do I stick with Kraft...the generic will save me $.17 cents...I wonder if it tastes better...?"  You get the picture.  And I know they're thinking this because that's what I think.  I just do my thinking next to my cart and out of the way of other shoppers.
  • The mom with three kids who are completely hyper-active and bouncing off the wall...uncontrollable.  You then look in her grocery cart and see nothing but Fun Dip, Candy Bars, and Mountain Dew...and then it all makes sense.
  • The person that doesn't realize you are supposed to "take a number" at the deli counter.  They stand there yapping on their phone or doing God knows what, while the person behind the counter continues to rattle-off numbers to help those who are waiting.  They finally realize what is going on after about 5 minutes, get pissed off (probably not so much at the fact that they just wasted 5 minutes but rather because they look stupid) and proceed to make a scene.
  • The Health Expert is the person who spends 5 minutes reading the nutrition content on the label.  I always wonder if they really know what they are looking at and why it takes 5 minutes to do so.
These are just a few of my favorite...I know there are more.  Can you think of any?

  1. The person with 20 items who unloads at the express lane - 12 items or less. And then says, "Oh sorry, I didn't see the sign." Yah, right!
