One More.....Grocery Cart Etiquette!
Your thoughts on the pains in the ass that feel the need to block a whole friggen isle with their shopping cart!!!  They leave their cart on one side of the isle while they grab something from the opposite side....thus blocking the entire isle!!! Or the new trend.....pulling the friggen cart from the front instead of pushing.....pain in the butt people! Or when they get in line in front of you and then realize they forgot something right in the middle of being rung up and they run back across the f'in store to get what they need saying..."I will only be a minute"!!!! 7 minutes later they return and then realize what they got was actually not what they wanted and then they say "forget it"!!!!!!!!
I could go on....anyone wanna go shopping with me??? I hate it!!!! |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Shopping carts should have those tricycle bells on them to announce your presence to those who chose to ignore you. Ding-ding!, ding-ding! until their heads pop out of their hinies and they move.

I like the ones who hit you in the back while your waiting to pay because they are too busy talking on the cell phone to pay attention.
Always in another language too. Usually Russian or Spanish.
(Not prejudice; I hate everyone.)
I work directly across from a supermarket so I see it all.
How about the ones that buy $400.00 worth of groceries and just walk away with the cart?
I can't think of a single place I have gone freshwater fishing around here that I haven't seen a cart or 12.
They actually pay someone full time just to run around and pick up carts. Brand new F-350. I think I'm in the wrong business.

Yes stay out of:
Supermarkets
Walmarts
Home Cheapo
Drunkin Donuts
Gas Stations
Vehicles of any kind
Any road I am on
Maybe you should just stay home ALWAYS !!!!! (except to go fishing) |

Hey....Be nice....I'm the IT guy for that company. That little cart helps pay my salary.
I keep pushing for a Beach buggy version with a rod holder up front that holds snoopy rods....Not buying into it yet |

Larry, make the experience a positive one. Swimmer is dead on balls accurate, the supermarket should be an opportunity to stalk the fairer species (ref. frozen foods section on a hot summer day). If someone blocks your path or leaves the cart unattended, it is your obligation to throw in some additional things, as a concerned shopper, that you think they cannot do without. For a repeat offender, if you are really bothered, put something on the bottom rack of the cart and then wait to see if they get nabbed.
Finally, cart etiquette doesn't just happen inside the store, but I have not found an effective way to deal with people who just let them roll after their grocieries are in the car, so I still park about 1/4 mile away.

If it's a couple blocking the aisle... sneak a 12pack of rubbers in there.. see what happens where he/she finds out...

If you're actively looking, lose any shopping list you might have. Nothing says "married" like a guy using a shopping list 
Frozen foods used to be better when they had the open freezers instead of the glass cased ones  Now you have to wait for one to open the door before the brights come on. |

Raven you're bringing a whole new genre of tactics to the supermarket experience. I am going to remember to incorporate animal noises, maybe some classic Monty Python or Three Stooges expressions, possibly Yosemite Sam, to the rude, obtuse, or otherwise plain old ignorant blocking the aisles. This could even embarrass members of my own family let alone the target audience. I'm so excited I almost can't wait to go shopping again.
