What do you find the most annoying when you're shopping in a supermarket?

To me, it's the idiot who leaves their cart smack in the middle of the aisle while they stare at the shelf oblivious to the fact that no one can get around them. And no, saying excuse me, gets no reaction or movement

Yeah that, or here in Ireland we get a lot of 2 people talking to each other, going in opposite directions, so they've stopped in the middle of the aisle and the are blocking the whole place up for everyone else..and also seem oblivious to the fact that they aren't in their own house and it's a public space..

The woman who waits until the cashier has checked everything before she starts rummaging through her purse to try to find her credit card, often pausing to discuss her frustration with her cluttered purse.

The people who run into their old friends and stand there and have high school reunions in the soup aisle while I'm trying to be as polite as possible and get them to move out of my way. 🤬

Also people who drag all 8 of their snotty bratty kids to the store with them but refuse to keep an eyes on them while they're running around, screaming, touching everything, and running into people with their buggies. 😣

That's why I have my groceries delivered. The delivery fee is small compared to the ease of ordering online, the food is fresh, and if they leave something off or substitute something,you won't be charged for it and they accept coupons, too. I quit going on foot to the store when this woman stood over me and answered her cellphone,screaming her end of the call while I was bending down, getting something out of a lower shelf. I couldn't move.

I do have to go to CVS every couple. three months to use food stamps to supplement something (the food deliveries don't take them). But I know where their food is, and I am in and out in about fifteen minutes - and they also accept coupons.

Today an older woman was ahead of me in line. She waved her daughter, in her 30s over so she could get her stuff. The mom payed for her stuff then her daughter paid for her stuff separately. I was furious and the cashier said she thought it was rude too. 🤬

I don't like it when there are many people... It's just annoying.
And one spends way more time there to pay. Annoying.
I don't like to find someone I already know and have to greet them.

@SW-User sometimes someone I already know is there and I don't want to talk to them I go in aisles I don't need to be in just to avoid them 😂

I was gonna put what you said. That and when you move your cart over to let someone [b]through[/b], and that same someone stops and stands right in front of you🤦
The ones who park their fucking trolley right behind you when you’re getting something off the shelf. You end up backing into their trolley. Fucking morons

chuck7882 people who spend very little in front of you and insist on paying with a credit card what is wrong with hard cash for a small amount of money 😖

When someone opens a new checkout lane, and the next person in line doesn’t get to go first

@BunnyBrawler there's always that jackass from the end of the line who runs over there
smiler2012 · 56-60
@BunnyBrawler i see your point but if you have already unloaded your shopping ready to be served and scanned and you have a lot of shopping it is impractical

When people have impromptu family reunions and get togethers and take up a whole dang aisle for 20 minutes.
People that expect you to move when it's pretty impossible for you to do so with 6 people around you.

People riding on those scooters right down the middle of the isle.
When people slap a steak before they buy it.
LOP’s running into my heels.
