Old people need to learn this.

On side note. Does anyone find it much easier to leave the cart on the main aisle and go pick up their item down a thinner isle as to avoid having to go around people with the cart and to keep the smaller aisle clears?

shopping cart =/= "buggy"

1/27/2010 12:10:07 AM

I use the word buggy

but to add my rant...I do get really annoyed with people who just leave their buggies out in the parking lot...it's not that fucking hard to put it in the damn pick up place or to walk it back up to the store

I launch a smaller shopping cart and use it as a dinghy of sorts during such missions so that I don't risk beaching the mother cart.

^ hahaha

certainly your smaller cart is tethered to the full-size cart so that no one returns your goods.

I like to shove my cart into the nearest car and leave it when I'm done loading my groceries in the car. Bonus points if it bounces off and winds up in the middle of another parking space.

Not really... if you need something larger than the hand-held basket you're probably in a store populated enough that doing ^ would screw up everything worse. I am courteous enough to leave it parked to the side to examine a popular item and make my selection instead of clogging up the whole meat chiller face. I freaking hate when people are digging for exactly 1.08 pounds of ground beef that is 70/30 and ground no later than 10:30 this morning while their buggy/cart is blocking everyone else from browsing. This goes doubly so when I'm browsing for a new beer and someone is reading a bottle with their cart blocking everything.

I leave Scotty and Chekhov with the mother cart, but take Spock and McCoy with me to peruse canned goods.

I think Whole Foods on Wade Ave. has the shoppers with the least situational awareness of all the grocery stores I've ever been in. It's amazing that their parking lot isn't a giant pile-up of cars that all wrecked into each other. I've resorted to referring to everybody there as "chief" a la "Woah Chief" and "You need to slow your roll, Chief".

I hate navigating the aisles at Whole Foods because everyone walks around as slowly as possible so that they can gawk at everything.

Few things piss me off more than people who leave shopping carts strewn across the parking lot. How worthless of a human being must you be that you can't find the time to trot your ass to the corral and put your cart away?

1/27/2010 1:46:10 AM

^^ Exactly. And to add insult to injury, they have a tiny ass store that's poorly marked that is simply PACKED with shit. I went over to their beer section with a cart, and could barely find a place to put it, because the aisle is literally one person in width.

1/27/2010 1:58:25 AM

Yeah that Whole Foods needs to be expanded or moved to a bigger location.

1/27/2010 2:09:38 AM

I think the problem with Whole Foods is that I'm used to going to Harris Teeter thinking "1) beer 2) bacon 3) toilet paper 4) pepto."

The people who go to Whole Foods go there thinking "Gee, I'm not super hungry and I want something with a low carbon footprint thats not too carby and *hopefully* is gluten free as well. OMG, is that new? I should try it so that I can be condescending to my granola friends about my new find at our pot luck vegan super bowl dinner next weekend. Shit, I better grab a cart and slowly walk down the aisle and read every goddamn package. HOLY SHIT IS THAT MADE WITH FAIR TRADE CORN MEAL?!"

CART LEFT IN PARKING SPOT RABBLE RABBLE, 20 FEET TO CART CORRAL RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE.


Seriously though this pisses me off.
