Grocery Grievance. Good Grief!
Other than long lines, what annoys you at a grocery store?
I'm asking this because today I was at Walmart picking up a couple of items. Well, I'm not the most patient person in the world  but this lady was holding up the line in the self checkout lane. She was just standing there staring at the screen. Finally, the cashier walked up and pushed the "finish pay" button on the screen for her. That's all she had to do. I mean my gosh this isn't rocket science. I ended up going to a different lane and when I did there was a lady with way more than the 10-12 items or less that was required in that lane. OMG, so she forgets her wallet in the car. I was standing behind her with only 2 items, and I had to wait for her to go to the car to get her wallet. I was SO annoyed. Some people are just....ooooh!

ummm... it's Walmart. Are you expecting the entire membership of Mensa to be shopping there? As the saying goes, it takes all kinds. And the more "interesting" of those kinds tend to spend a lot of time at Walmart.

We used to have a cheer for walmart when I was in college...
Walmart! Walmart! That's our store!
We go there because we're POOR!
lol. I hate Walmart with a passion, but it's the only grocery store in this area that's open after 9. So there are times when I go. (Only to be grumbling the whole way through it.)
I'm loving the new Dollar General Market thing though. It's a DG with groceries. And it's very very cheap. I cut our grocery bill in half by going there, and then hitting Publix for the "name brand" things I need.
Spending too much for groceries pisses me off.
I live for finding bargains, lol.

Unless your only choices in town are Kroger and Walmart, then you see everyone in town at Walmart or drive a half hour to get to a real store. 
Sometimes I really miss Pittsburgh.

You live in MN and are shopping at Walmart instead of the beautiful pretty Targets on every other street corner?
Edit: My family used to use Schwan's a lot until we found out how heavily involved they are with a religion that doesn't like our kind. We'll still cave and get French Toast Sticks every once in a while but I always feel guilty eating them.

Lol, but it is well known that Walmart also brings all of the crazy and stupid people out from wherever they're from. I live in a yuppie area with a Walmart nearby - I have no idea where some people shopping there come from.
Cheerfulgreek, go have a cup of coffee or something because you're clearly not awake yet.

I know, but with gas prices the way they are it's hard to justify driving in to Giant Eagle or Whole Foods, or even further to Sams or Costco.
Anyone use Schwan's? I'm thinking it might be a good alternative to cut down on grocery trips with summer looming!

I don't mind Walmart.
The thing that annoys me the most about grocery stores, and someone mentioned this, when someone gets in a line and they clearly have more than the allotted items and you are standing there with like 2 and they don't offer to let you go in front of them. Heck, if I've got a whole cartful of items (even in a regular check out line) and the person behind me only has like 2 things I always let them go before me.
cheefulgreek-your nicer than I would have been I would have insisted that the Walmart associate clear her damn "order" and let everyone else keep checking out. Why the hell should the rest of the customers suffer because this women had her head up her butt and forgot her wallet?
