Grocery store observations
I know that I do it, and you know the grocery store folks observe what you are buying, say for instance someone has a group of steaks, charcoal, beer and taters, you know they are about to get busy grilling out and drinking beer. So....today, I had to stop by the store for dog food, toilet paper, and some ice cream. I just went ahead and told the lady, Yep, I'm going home to feed the dogs, eat some ice cream, and poop!

I went to the store tonight and was annoyed by the customer ahead of me in line, a somewhat elderly lady, carrying on with the checker and another employee of the store while I had all of my stuff on the conveyer belt ready to be scanned.
I waited for at least 2 or 3 minutes while the employees were fully engrossed in conversation about this woman's vacation in Israel. I was starting to get pretty pissed off, and I am sure I was visibly annoyed. Her shit was already sacked up and ready to go...and I'm just standing there wanting to leave. I just got off of work. It's Friday, I've been flying around for 2 and a half hours in some shitty turbulence and bad visibility, I just wanted to go home and have a drink, feed the dog and cook dinner. But no, they just continued to carry on without a care in the ****ing world. Inconsiderate and unacceptable. My time is more valuable than some random persons vacation, I'm sorry. |

Most of the places I shop at have self-checkout terminals, so I make a bee-line for those when out in public shopping, I want as little interaction with other people as possible.

Whenever I use the self check out I ask the clerk if I can get the employee discount.
If I have one item I go thru a line. I'm paying for their salary so why not utilize them. |

What I really love about self checkout is when, say you are buying 2 cases of bottled water and you don't place them on the bagging area and you can't do a damn thing until someone comes and clears it!

Debit card, granny! The majority of stores have self-checkouts nowadays, except for the local Piggly-Wiggly. |

I haven't been over there in awhile, but I have seen it from the air. Looks huge! What else are they putting in that new shopping center? |

Also they passed a law in California that you can't take alcoholic beverages through the self checkout line. I'm willing to bet the Retail Clerks union lobbied for that law, but it does make sense.

At one of the grocery stores here, one time the cashier had to make a comment on every item I was buying. **** off, shut up and do your job.
Went to that store another time, and after scanning and paying, the cashier had to leave the register and walk around the bagging area, to where I was standing, to give me my change. **** off and reach over the counter! I didn't walk around to invade your space to pay for my groceries. I hate that store. |

Don't ever buy cucumbers and Crisco in the same trip. if you need them for whatever you are making for dinner, go to separate stores.

Pro tip for anyone with thieving friends or family.
WalMart self check does not have a scale in it to know if you put something extra in the bag. Scan 1, put 4 in the bag. Second, buy organic fruits and veggies, enter non-organic code. A manager friend told me this. |

I’m curious to see what they put in the space where the old Whole Foods was...rumor is either Sprouts or H-Mart. Either is fine with me because I drive to the Granada Hill’s Sprouts now. And if I want to go to the Asian Market, I hit the Galleria at Devonshire and Reseda. So, having either of those in the old Whole Foods space would be nice. For the new shopping area, aside from Whole Foods... AMC, Nordstrom’ Rack (already open), Ulta (already open), Peet’s Coffee, Lure Fish House, Gus’s BBQ. https://www.thevineyards.com/ But what I’m looking forward to is Porto’s in Northridge. https://www.sfvbj.com/news/2019/may/...en-northridge/ |

I love when they ask "Did you find everything you wanted?". So I say "Were you hiding stuff?". Only one old guy teller got it. The rest just look at me with a confused look.
