Today, same problem. I absolutely need to get my grocery shopping done and once again, it's Thursday. I figure I will bite the bullet and do my shopping and grab my share of the $10 savings. There's a new twist on this whole thing. Everyone has figured out how they can get all their shopping done and take home more than a $10 savings. They bring extra family members and use extra carts. So that, if you were going to spend $100 or so, you would now be trailing along two carts.
What does this mean? It means the aisles of the store are doubly or triply (probably not a real word) crowded. And why do they have to have a multitude of displays blocking my path? You can't move your cart down the aisles, nor can you get close to the items that you wish to purchase without dodging and reaching around - lots of "excuse me"s being said.
This also means that the checkout lines are also doubled or tripled or worse - oh yes, those long lines snake down into the aisles. Doesn't this just sound like loads of fun? The store has done a good job of having checkers at all the registers.
You also get someone who parks their cart (sometimes with or without a person) while others are running around trying to make sure they've got everything they need and there's shouting - "Is this right." "No, I want the other brand" or maybe "get two of those." And, they all bring their little kids. Little kids run down the aisles (not exactly a doable task on this evening), walk backwards, lolly-gag walking down the aisles or scream at the top of their lungs.
Now, the coup d'etat - half of these people are talking on their cellphones the entire time they shop. Seriously, do these people take their cellphones to the bathroom with them - do they talk while they shit? Aghhhhhhhhhhh!
