Firstly, I hope this is okay to post here. It's not my own experience, but a friend's. I have no doubt that she's telling the truth. She isn't the sort of person who would lie. I re-read the rules as well and didn't see anything to imply that this sort of thing is not okay ( Read more... )

Tonight I had a couple of kinda baffling experiences at the grocery store.
for background: this is a regional natural foods store, but it's as big as a Kroger or similar. If my writing is unclear or long-winded or something I'm sorry, my LJ skills are pretty rusty.( lazy clerks and cashier wtf )

I went to the store the other day to pick up a few odds and ends. I ended up picking up something and when I got to checkout I remembered I still had some at home. I told the cashier I no longer wanted it and she was so happy I didn't stick it on a shelf somewhere. We got to chatting as she was cashing me out about people putting perishable things ( Read more... )

 I went to a grocery store to get some things. After I checked out, I started going to the exit.

Cashier: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! 
Me: What? D:

I used the u-scan and rang through all my stuff and waited for the lady to come card me. Knowing how these machines work and how the store is supposed to operate I ( Read more... )

I went into Sobeys, a Canadian grocery store, last night because I was hankering after their sushi. I found said sushi (which isn't always that easy, but that's another suck!) and went to the counter to pay. The cashier takes one look at my sushi, squishes her face up into the moue of distaste (you know the one) and proceeds to harangue (there is ( Read more... )

I've been bouncing this around in my head since it happened yesterday and I finally decided it was WTF enough to post. If I am wrong I'm sure I'll have people tell me so.

( Lines )

This may be me being oversensitive, and the suck wasn't even against me, but it annoyed me.

I was at the grocery, picking up a few things and had just gotten into line when I hear, "Manager to 4 for a WIC purchase. Manager to 4 for a WIC purchase." The woman ahead of me was using a WIC voucher to buy some things (milk, eggs, etc).
