Rage at the Grocery store...

[5f4super]

Why is it, every FUCKING time I go to the grocery store, I invariably encounter some fucking family that felt the need to bring EVERYONE in the family to the store.

To put it another way, when did a trip for groceries turn into a FUCKING FAMILY VACATION?

Leave your goddamned kids at home. No one wants to hear them scream like they've been stuck with a hot branding iron because you won't buy them sugary junk or the No-Panty Barbie.

Whatever happened to make a list and send one person? For fuck's sake, you can call them or text them if you left something off the list. But leave grandma, grandpa, cousin Cletus, aunt Gladys and ALL your kids at home.

By the way, the sample stations at Costco are not a FUCKING LUNCH COUNTER. If you block the aisle with your cart because you're getting a piece of polska kielbasa on a piece of sourdough, I'm going to read-end it like a semi hittiing a bicycle.

There should be millions more abortions and mandatory sterilization for people this stupid.

Isn't COSTCO aimed at families? What are you doing shopping there?

This is my rant. You should put me on your ignore list.

Great, another child-hater. In my opinion, they are lower scum than racists.

That doesn't mean you have to drag them all there to shop. It's not Chucky Cheese FFS. It's not a playground and it's not a soup kitchen. It's not day care and it's not a pediatrician's office.

You don't need to make Costco a vacation spot.

Yep, I'm a child hater.

Breeders are lower scum than almost anything. You breed 'em, you feed 'em.

Hence, the visit to Costco. Anyway, The place is nuts, kids or no kids. I don't share your frustration.

They're trying. But you keep hitting their shopping carts and bruising the produce.

Not your rant, so that's ok. I stand by what I wrote. Every post.

I've also taken to making sure if I have to fart or burp, I make it as loud as I can, in the presence of children. If nothing else, I want to be a bad influence.

We are feeding 'em. What do you think we're doing at Costco anyway?

Taking a family vacation, from the look of it.

The grocery store isn't the library or the doctor's office; sometimes it isn't possible for the kids to be "left at home". I'm sure the parents of these kids would much rather do the shopping without the hassle of the kids there, but you must do what you can.

Um, yes but they are SAMPLE counters. Whether or not someone is blocking an aisle when they are partaking in such samples is irrelevant to your beef. Deal with it.

Well, I'm not quite so harsh.

[rat avatar]

I am not a fan of the yelling child, nor is anyone but really this is so simple to solve on your part it doesn't deserve a pit.

If you run into a group of (loud kids|drunk frat boys|smelly hippies|zombies) just reverse your pattern, if they are in produce go start with meat. Maybe you skip some rows and double back if it bothers you or shop at night.

There are tens of thousands of square feet here begging to be used as a buffer and I personally think teaching a kid how to shop is a valid use case for a small portion of it..

Sorry, I think it did. I wanted to rant and I did. I wanted to offend breeders and I did. Mission accomplished.

Why bother? If experience is any guide, you'll be banned by the end of the month.

[EmAnJ]

I give this rant a 2 out of 10. I'm sure you could do much, much better than this boring, overdone, entitled prick rant.

What, because I offended you?

[Farmer Jane]

Is the OP even for real? Smells funny.

[Smapti]

My rant was better.

To be fair to the OP and to his critics, it's true that sometimes you can't just leave the kids at home if you're a single parent, or your partner is at work and you can't afford a sitter, or you can't go shopping while the kids are at school for whatever reason.

That argument breaks down when both parents are at the store and they have half a dozen screaming rugrats with them. Kids, especially kids who are too little to help do the shopping, are going to go nuts at the store - it's full of strangers and shiny objects they're not supposed to touch and they're supposed to just follow you quietly for an hour. At least discipline them when they act up! My parents would have killed me if i'd started screaming and running around the aisles and touching everything and not looking where I was going before I almost get flattened by an 8,000 lb. forklift.

No. Because it appears that you found a new toy and don't know how to play with it. It happens all the time around here.

[AqualungBats5th]

....what the hell is a no panty Barbie?


Anyways, the kids aren't the worst thing about people in the grocery store. And trust me here, the piercing shriek that small children make cuts through me right to the bone. No, the adults are far worse.

You're starting to get onto something when you mention blocking the aisle. Frankly, nothing raises my ire more than the jerk that decides, hey, the best place in this aisle to park my cart is sideways right in the middle. Surely no one else will need to pass by here as I am the only person on this earth. Fuckers.

Is the store air-conditioned? That might be your answer.

[Vinyl Turnip]

I'm going to start missing the OP now, so when the inevitable happens I shall remain stoic and shed no tears.

Ah, so the purpose of your rant was not in fact to blow off steam, but rather to offend people.

I'm sure there are other boards that you may wish to peruse, once you are banned from this one for trolling.

You're right, your rant IS better. If i could post images, I'd post the "not worthy" icon.

Sure, it's natural to get annoyed when kids are acting up. I get annoyed when my own kid is acting up (and I try to put a stop to it). But that's different from hating a child on sight, before he's done anything at all.

It's such a timesaver, though.

I want to know more about the no panty Barbie.

I agree. And it's not really the kid's fault, it's the parents. Hate them.

I suspect she/it is the OP's girlfriend substitute.

Large quantities of bargain-priced meat??

Hey now, pick on the OP, he deserves it but the Costco butchers do a great job for the price.

Which was my point exactly. The OP wants his cake but he wants to eat it, too. If he wants to get the absolute best-bargain in his shopping, he better be willing to put up with the collateral headaches.

Yeah, OP, we know.

I'm ok with abortion at any time, for any reason, prior to birth.

I don't think he hates the kids; they're doing what kids do naturally and that's act like apes. He hates the parents that won't put their little apes on a leash and teach them how to behave in public.

Children should be eaten, but not heard.

Too bad Ken doesn't have a penis.

It's retractable. Like Crissy's hair.

[MsWhatsit]

I keep thinking the thread title says "Rape at the grocery store."

But seriously, who has time for raping when Costco has so many delicious free samples available?

Edit: That sounds even worse than it was meant to. I think I just revolted and impressed myself.

[Rand Rover]

Dear OP,

Go to www.peapod.com. Get groceries delivered to your house.

Oh, and also get herpes and butt warts, because you sound like a turd.

They don't deliver in most zip codes.

And leash your damned anklebiters and make them behave if you can't get someone to babysit them.

[Smeghead]

I come from a long line of parents. It's sort of a family tradition.
