YES, that's a pain. You can barely get yourself situated before someone's taking up your space and pushing you out the door.

Haha I love those self checkout things. I remember one time my boyfriend and I went grocery shopping, got a bunch of stuff and used one of those. Halfway through ringing our stuff we saw the sign that said "10 items or less only" when we had at least 30. Oops!

Oh, grocery shopping is like Christmas shopping at a mall... I have ZERO patience for it. The place where we do our shopping now isn't so bad but there are other places where everyone's in such a rush but won't get out of the way! But that's Massachusetts for ya

Haha, I hate when people do what you said too. When I shop, I don't mosey around taking my time. I know what I'm getting, get it and go! If someone's taking up all my time like that, I don't like them. I always have my card ready when I'm paying so that I don't do that. Although I'm an early card slider, which some people don't like.

Do you guys have Winco?

That's a grocery store where you HAVE to bag your own stuff. You think having someone bag your stuff is a pain? Try waiting for someone else to bag their millions of items before you can bag your own. That's annoying! It's bad even when it's you because the person behind you is getting impatient.

Never heard of Winco, but that would be amazing if we had any out here. I'm pretty sure we don't though

I know though. I do hate that too because you waste so much time waiting for someone to do their JOB by bagging your stuff, only to end up doing it yourself. I'd almost rather do it myself though. All the baggers around here do that thing where they only put like 2 things in each bag. Adam and I just end up condensing everything when we get to the car, which is also a pain.

Oh and when people leave their carts in parking spaces or behind cars when there's a cart return 5 feet away.
