- Most other shoppers in the store always seem completely oblivious to everything else going on around them.
- The cart I choose always has a wobbly/squeaky wheel, even if I give it a test run before committing to it.
- There are about 5 aisles of things I rarely need situated between things I always need. For example, all the dairy in the very back then rows of paper towel, cleaning supplies, booze, etc. before getting back to food aisles again.
- The personal hygeine items and food are on opposite sides of the store.
- There are cart corrals every 50 to 75 feet these days and people still can't manage to take the time to put their empty cart in them, so they end up rolling all over the parking lot.
- People seem to think that a grocery store is a great place to carry on cell phone conversations.
- People like to leave carts in the middle of the aisle. I understand leaving your cart to look at something, but at least leave it to the side.
- Not everyone realizes the u-scan lanes are supposed to be quick and are not intended for a full cart of groceries.
- I always seem to pick the wrong/slowest check out lane. Instead of having an aisle number lit up, the cashier's should have their scan rate in items per minute displayed, to make it easier to choose which check-out lane to use.
- The aisle I need the most, usually the cereal aisle, is always the most crowded.
There you have it. Basically what it comes down to is that I have no patience while in the grocery store. Maybe with a little patience, I could solve my problems, with the exception of #5, because that's just being lazy:)
Great thoughts Nate=) I agree with all of your "beefs" and I think "how fast do you scan" idea for clerks is genius! That really makes all the difference (especially when you have two kids grabbing everything as you try to check out!)
