And leaving my trolley on the opposite side of the aisle when I'm looking at something on the other side. I will stop.<br />I hate couples blocking aisles, people using the express lane with more than 12 items, and people who leave trolleys all over the car park. And driving in supermarket carparks is pretty hazardous too.Jackie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322613989851869319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-50440833445583589612013-10-26T03:28:02.981-04:002013-10-26T03:28:02.981-04:00I also like being in the supermarket especially pu...I also like being in the supermarket especially purchasing the things I wanted...May Ann Franciscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08761865558282081424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-23543060107957483092013-10-25T23:05:53.421-04:002013-10-25T23:05:53.421-04:00Hmmm.

What do you think about people who don't take their cart back but instead leave it in the parking lot, perhaps wedge in a planter or something so that it won't roll? Are they lazy? or are they just giving the supermarket lot attendants job security? My son used to work for a supermarket and he said that when it was slow he really enjoyed collecting all the carts in the parking lot because it gave him something to do and it made him look busy.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04446770591516588794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-60010244783747006632013-10-25T14:48:44.876-04:002013-10-25T14:48:44.876-04:00Make sure to run your cart up on the heels of the ...Make sure to run your cart up on the heels of the shopper in front of you who does not realize that supermarket aisles, like the autobahn, have no speed limit, and some people come in just to test-drive the carts, with no intention of stopping to buy anything.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-18363082324981141322013-10-25T14:30:33.639-04:002013-10-25T14:30:33.639-04:00Augghhhh!!!

Allow them to wander freely and scream if they'd like, and not with their indoor voices. So remember to bring along the relatives next time you're shopping.

(sorry, "check")<br />See, there's the problem. It's called a "check-out", so some of these dimwits think that means writing a check for your groceries is OK. Maybe you need to go back to spelling it "cheque", but I don't think that would help.<br />There's none of that here in Canada (or any other parts of the world I've visited, now that I think of it) but I sure saw enough of that in the States.<br />Don't even get me started about shopping in Puerto Rico!
