What is with people in the grocery store line?? I have no clue why people insist on standing right directly behind me. I need my personal space! And their wandering eyes watching the groceries that I put on the conveyor belt - I know they are judging me. Particularly here in Austin. So what if I have Double Stuff Oreos, a pint of Ben and Jerry's Peanut Butter Cup ice cream, and some zit cream. Clearly I'm having a bad day! Just because you have your organic vegetables and 10 cases of water and moisturizer for your perfect complexion doesn't mean that I can't stock up on bad day essentials and zit cream that I will surely need after consuming such foods. Stop judging, Judger McJudgerson!
I was in the 10 items or less item lane at HEB today. There was only one of those little grocery dividers, and it was already being used between my groceries and the ones belonging to the person in front of me. This lady got all up behind me to start putting her groceries on the belt. For some odd reason, rather than placing them a good distance behind my three items, she placed them smack dab behind mine. After the man in front of me was done, I tried grabbing the divider to separate my items from crazy lady's when the cashier starting going crazy ringing up my groceries, and in the process rang up crazy lady's paper plates and towels. Why this lady didn't put her groceries further back on the belt is beyond me. I don't understand people.
And have you noticed that cashiers seem to be rushing you out of line before you are even done? Lately this seems to be the case at every store. They ring up my items, place them in bags, and before I have time to put my debit card in my wallet, they put my bags on the counter, hand me my receipt and then begin ringing up the next person while I'm still standing there. Sheesh! They don't even bother to say hi, thanks for shopping, and have a good day anymore. People these days.
It's reasons like these that I choose to use the self-checkout whenever possible. But I always seem to get behind people who have bags of produce and are slowing down the process by weighing their veggies. I don't understand why they don't weigh their items in the produce section and print out one of those little bar codes so all they have to do is scan them. Ugh - amateurs.
One last thing - for those people who still insist on writing checks at the grocery store, I really wish they would not go through the speedy checkout line. It's not so speedy if you are paying by check! The time it takes you to write the check, tear it out, write down the amount in your little balance sheet, have the cashier write down your driver's license number, and put it through the scanner, two other people could have gone through the line.
People need some grocery store etiquette!
