Pet peeves at the Gros. store.

[tantricia44]

I don't let things get to me much but when I go to the gros. store to buy my food I get really upset when I come upon the tomatoes to find that each and everyone of them have been, pinched,Squeezed,bruised,lacerated, & over all just damaged! It maybe a little thing to be upset about but think about germs that people carry unknowingly with them. You don't know what's in some1's finger nails as they squeeze the tomato. I think if you damage it you buy it. This not just 1 gros store, it's like every1 I go to, to buy veg/fruit products! Food is now more expensive than ever;why must I pay more for buying damaged goods? Am I being too *bleep* about this? What are your Pet peeves?

[Valerie1979]

tell the store management - if more people complained and refused to buy these goods they would have to do something about it.

I hate when you ask someone where something is and they look around dumbfounded not knowing and point you to an aisle that is totally not it... good customer service leads you to the item you are looking for

chewing or SMACKING with ur mouth open, no one wants to see that! EWWWW  lol

Thanks members for responding to my Pet peeves post.
Valerie1979 Duhhaa, why didn't I think of that? I guess I'm jaded b/c in the past I ask for help &get  nothing but crap responses.But thinking about it, i decided that I should not have to put up w/damaged goods!I'm the customer right, & when I need customer service I should get it!Thanks V1979 your suggestion has given me the courage to face this problem. I say courage b/c I'm such a chicken when having to confront people w/issues.
crizleris I completely agree with you. You ask for customer service & they look at you like you're speaking Martian. Also, with that look on their faces, this look that reminds me of a retarded person.I've worked with severely disabled persons & they make the retarded patients look normal!LOL... Have you complained to the managers about this issue? I plan too, tired of bad customer service.

OMG! I'm so guilty of doing that & I do it b/c I'm bored or nervous.The main reason, I started doing that annoying habit is b/c it totally pissed off my younger sister! The more she screamed at me to stop the more I chump,smacked, & opened my mouth wider than the pacific ocean! Of course, I only do it in front of my sister nobody else.Hee, hee, so the public don't have to be worried of me offending any1 w/this habit.Have you asked the annoying person to stop? Anyway thanks to your pet peeve, it brought back warm memories of me & my sister growing up, fighting & playing....Okay, mostly fighting!

My biggest pet peeve at the grocery store is when someone is in line to pay for their groceries , they get up to the cashier , then they
start digging in their purse for their checkbook.  I know people get upset having to wait so I make sure if I am writing a check(which I
hardly ever do anymore) I get it out and start filling it out so I all I have to do is write is the amount.  It makes it super quick for everyone.

Mine are when people let their kids roam around the store knocking things down and when people get to the register and decide they forgot something

Right on!, and also as mentioned in the other chats the check book thing! And digging in the purse for the exact change, taking forever OMG!.. I found that just giving the extra dollar and taking the change is a great way to save. I take the change, separate the silver from the copper, by the end of the year I had enought to gamble in Las Vegas.

Other people in your way when your trying to get something, and the parents yelling at their kids all the time

My pet peeve is getting home and realizing that the grocery store over charged me and I either have to lose the money or drive back and try to get my money back.  Funny how the errors are never in my favor.

This is mine also. Safeway is notorious for overcharging. I now check my receipt before exiting the store. Walmart so far has had the best run with no errors while checking out. Safeway is number 1. Safeway is also bad about advertising something for sale and then when you get to the checkout, it's not. If you don't watch things closely, you could get charged full price on a sale item. I've caught them many times. Their explanation is that the sale item didn't get put in their registers yet. WHAT? Then why is it being advertised?

I can't stand screaming kids in any store and the mom is just ignoring them and letting them scream and cry. or they are running around without any supervision at all. Some upscale restaurants are banning children. Look for more changes regarding kids in public places. In my opinion, this is the right avenue. Why should everyone else be bothered with kids with bad manners only because the parents won't take responsibility?

[squirrelgirl44]

My big irritation is people going to express lanes with way too many items. Or picking up something that needs to be refrigerated and leaving it on a shelf somewhere.Or the store selling expired food.

[jnjmolly]

There are so many of them...I agree with every one!!! I hate when I have one item and the person in front of me has a huge wagon (and the express line is closed) and the person doesn't say that I can go in front of them.

[kilophkadamas]

Definitely people taking up the whole lane of the grocery aisle. It should be a law in grocery stores to park your cart near the side if you're browsing items!

I hate when people have kids running around their shopping cart and not being able to get by. Control your kids people
