Pet Peeves - What Pisses You Off?

To be fair, this happened at Costco today and they actually have pretty wide isles so you have to imagine what the person pulling the cart was like. Probably from California too :rolleyes: Our local grocery store is a lot like what you just described.

That and feeding day at costco is the worst! They all congregate around the feeding troughs smashing samples in their pie-holes. Pisses me off. Lmao
 
Now, I know this has been posted before but SELF-CHECKOUT at stores, that shit really pisses me off! I especially hate it when there is only one or no humans attending an actual register. :mad: I mean really, if I have to do the work myself, I should I be entitled to some kind of discount!! But really, the thing that really bugs me the most about them, are the people who use them as MOST either don't know how to use them, are extremely slow and or always have an item that locks up the system requiring someone to help them or all of the above!! And let's be honest, how many times have you been standing in line with all the self check stands lit up with red lights and with customers just waiting for help to come??

Clearly, long gone are the days when you'd go to somewhere like a grocery store and be mesmerized by the efficiency of the bag boy or bag girl who had one hand in a paper bag and the the other flipping cans and boxes into it at breakneck speed. At the risk of sounding old, I sure miss the good ol' days.

I can't lie, as a 22 year old I primarily use the self checkout line. That said, I did work in retail for 2 years as my first job when I was 16 and was indeed that fast ass bag boy lol. It is true though that self checkout lines, and their attendants who are just absolutely thrilled they aren't on a register, are just daft.

Luckily the two stores we go to have enough registers and they have bag people. And they are quick too. Also helps in Tennessee they prefer to use all the bags that California doesn’t and only one or two items seem to go in a bag. Lol

I have read serious articles which say that customers prefer self-checkout. It must be true if they say so.
