Touche
there’s a lot of that in life.
ok, just for the record. It’s %*@% company policy to ask you how you’re doing and if you’re finding everything. In fact, we get yelled at if a secret shopper “catches” us NOT annoying the fuck out of everything that moves in the store.
It’s also company policy to ask if you’re finding you know how to pick a fucking tomato. Some people are actually HELPED by some of these things sometimes, ya know.
Oh and it isn’t like we actually ENJOY interacting with 95% of the people in the store, who seem to hold the loweliest possible employee they can find liable for EVERY GODDAMN THING THAT THEY CAN POSSIBLY THINK OF GOING WRONG EVEN IF I’M ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE STORE FROM THE PROBLEM! Get a fucking grip, people, we’re cashiers, if you’re going to gripe about the meat department and expect us to know anything about it, you need to be hit repeatedly in the face with a two-by-four. That way we’ll know the stupid people by their broken noses and beat-in facial features.
Oh, another thing, it’s not our goddamn fault how many people we have scheduled. In fact, the number of hours we’re seemingly arbitrarily allowed to schedule by corporate decision often has nothing whatsoever to do with actual demand at any time. Also, I’m pretty sure my managers decided schedules by throwing darts at a board, this is also not my fault.
Stop blaming the normal cashiers for everything and anything you can that has nothing to do with them.
Also, if it’s not the produce manager himself, chances are he has NO control whatsoever as to what’s in stock or not.
Yes, we know. And it’s fucking annoying! 
If it were just one person, that would be OK; but after the seventh time I’ve had to say “I’m fine, how are you?” I would welcome your 2x4 across the face.
The only time I’ve seen these is when I was living in the city, and people were more apt to roll their groceries all the way home in the cart, usually because they didn’t have a car.
Enterprising sorts would collect 4 of the carts and then daisy chain them together in a circle to get the coins out of the little locking things. Eventually, a guy with a pickup truck, hired by the store, would be out collecting stray carts and would have to haul up the knot of 4 carts at once.
For the OP:
You, guy behind me with the really bad BO, don’t stand so fucking close to me!! One more inch and I’m calling rape, since that’s what it will be. :mad:
Sorry. That’s why I’m at the store; ran out of deodorant!
Did the guy with the truck cost them less than a quarter? :dubious:
no, it fucking isn’t.
AAWW! That’s so sweet.
Listen, buttfuck, just scan each item. They may all be Stouffer’s meals, but they’re different prices. Listen to me when I tell you that, and when you have to void them all, be sure to void THEM ALL, not all but $20 worth. :rolleyes: The time-saving measure ended up costing me half an hour.
And please, when I say “I’ll bag”, just listen and let me bag. Don’t make me bodyblock you to get to the stuff first. And assfuck cashier, I laid everything out in categories that each fill a bag. Don’t randomly grab at things and mess up the plan.
Maybe someday we’ll get self-checkout. And the voices of angels will ring out.
Damn! That’s like, Rain Man goofy…
It is. I once ate some mayonnaise that was 6 months past its expiration date, and it tasted a lot like Miracle Whip. I was sick for a month after that.
Can I please use that?!
Attention all you tater-tot casserole eating motherfuckers: Get a fucking debit card. Save the checks for your 'lectric bill.
Not so much. I put frozen stuff together on the conveyor. Same for refridgerated items. So that they get bagged together and won’t thaw so fast and so that I can make sure I get all of them put away when I get home in case I don’t get to put everything away. I’d rather leave a box of crackers in the bag on the floor than a box of popcicles.
I don’t get it?
Yeah, I do that too. I just got the sense that gigi was a little more…strict about it from the tone of her post.
Absolutely. Go Wilde.
For about two days. And then assholes will ruin it. I was thrilled when most of the stores near me got the self-checkout machines - the less I have to deal with other human beings in a grocery store, the better. Of course, then the machines were all immediately clogged up by raging dipshits who can’t figure out how to scan an item, and then once they scan the item they stare blankly at the screen while it beeps for them to PUT THE ITEM IN THE BAG, and then they can’t figure out how to input their produce, because they have no fucking clue what a PLU number is or how to press the “Look up item” button with the picture of some vegetables on it, and then…
Why the fuck do these people use the self checkout? It has to take them at least twice as long as using the regular checkout. Get the fuck out of my way! And of course, since so many people couldn’t figure out something simple like scanning their coupons, the store nearest me makes the self checkout attendant do it for everyone now - and since there is one of them for four machines, it’s like a magical clusterfuck from the land of retards. From now on, I’m breaking into grocery stores when they’re closed and leaving money for the shit I steal. It’ll be much faster.
And yet simultaneously, is unable to go rancid a la twinkie[sup]tm[/sup] filling.
The way to get the coin back is to “marry” one cart to another cart. Apparently it is possible to marry 4 of them into a circle, releasing 4 coins (quarters or pounds, depending on what side of the pond you’re on). The only place I ever saw these was at The Real Superstore in Metairie, LA, outside of New Orleans.
I don’t really have anything to Pit, I have a great grocery store, but I’d consider this for a sig line, Plynk “It is the taste of my childhood, when we lived better through chemistry. And it is the taste of the future when everything will be grown in vats. Miracle Whip is people.”
Oh, I do have a grocery store Pit. Even worse than the car or ::shudder:: butterfly carts are the kid-size Customer-in-Training carts. These should be banned. Is your kid is shaping up so stupid you think he will need years of training to shop at the grocery store???
