Parr8hed Posted January 6, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 6, 2015 I had to go to the store today. My wife made me buy her these green things. That made me feel nauseated. It must have been senior appreciation day today. Every. Single. Thing. I needed there was an old person standing in front of. Everything. Completely oblivious that they were blocking the isle and the stuff that I needed to get. Every label must be read, re-read and compared. This made me feel frustrated. And then you had this stupid head. It's not enough that she was going as slow as possible unloading her crap and carrying on a conversation with the cashier...she had to answer her phone and stop everything to carry on a conversation. If that were not bad enough, she used her call waiting to take ANOTHER call! This made me angry. There were 3 old people behind me. Finally a cashier came to open another lane and the 3 old people behind me took their walkers and their hover-rounds to that lane. Didn't bother to check with me since I was the next in line and had been waiting on phone-yapper for 5 minutes. They all 3 got done before I did and then proceeded to stop in front of me on the way out of the store to put their gloves on and bitch about the freezing 34 degree temps. This made me nauseated, frustrated and angry. I finally made it home and had lunch,. This made me happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UglyBob Posted January 6, 2015 Share #4 Posted January 6, 2015 You wouldn't last a day here if you can't tolerate the old farts. I live a stones throw from Sun City (believe me, I've thrown stones...), so this is and everyday occurrence in stores and on the road. In addition, we get a huge influx of 'Snowbirds' this time of year that about triples the problem. I think there show be a hunting season dedicated to them. I could bag my limit without ever leaving the front yard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parr8hed Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share #5 Posted January 6, 2015 it's one thing to be old and slow if you are at least pleasant. I got no room for people being inconsiderate regardless of age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gump Posted January 6, 2015 Share #7 Posted January 6, 2015 This is why you should shop at 4pm. All the old folks are at the early bird for dinner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrAzY Posted January 6, 2015 Share #8 Posted January 6, 2015 Why did you take a picture of an old guys ass? And I'm surprised you didn't take the cute blond for a spin while you were waiting to check out.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted January 6, 2015 Share #9 Posted January 6, 2015 I'm impressed that your grocery store has two people to bag groceries in addition to the check out person. That's an impressive amount of staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentonMakes Posted January 6, 2015 Share #10 Posted January 6, 2015 I generally enjoy grocery shopping, except for all the other people. And surely they don't need to be old to be inconsiderate. I'd probably volunteer to pay a bit of a premium if I could be the only customer in the store. (To some extent I could accomplish this shopping late at night - but there's no deli/seafood staff, bakery stuff is stale, etc.) I worked at a supermarket in high school - generally I hated it, especially running a cash register. Hell, I was happier mopping up spilled juice than interacting with customers who were certain the scanner was rigged. Most of the stores in the area were open 24 hours - I don't really know if the stores around me are open all night now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted January 6, 2015 Share #11 Posted January 6, 2015 As far as the phone-yapper goes, I think we all know whether or not you would hit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an impressive amount of staff. I'm betting that is only for the old folk rush. Get them in and back home before everyone else leaves work for the day. It's a safety issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldendesign Posted January 6, 2015 Share #13 Posted January 6, 2015 I do my shopping half an hour before publix closes. In and out quick like. At least I try and do it that way. Usually it ends up being sunday afternoon and every over dressed mom, stylish hopster, and overly muscled asshat is there. I live in a swanky neighborhood. They all are rushing for the organic, free range breads, the gluten free buffalo, the hybrid tomato/pumpkins and whatever else Oprah or Dr. Oz said was now healthy. I just wanna buy my cheetos and sausages in peace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F_in Ray Of Sunshine Posted January 7, 2015 Share #15 Posted January 7, 2015 Saturday or Sunday morning, 6AM- ish. You can swing a dead hooker without hitting an old person or anyone else for that matter. I've done this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petitepedal ★ Posted January 7, 2015 Share #19 Posted January 7, 2015 I had a very nice old lady let me go in front of her in Walgreens the other day...I think my nasty cough made her want to be behind me rather than in front of the cough and germs.

Randomguy Posted January 7, 2015 Share #20 Posted January 7, 2015 51 ain't that young. The funny thing is that I am like that now in the grocery store if I am really tired or really sick. Grocery stores can be very surreal places. They also have baffling arrays of seemingly identical items. So I am already warmed up for being just like that. I saw Soylent Green a couple of weeks ago, and have wanted to use that image since then. It is Tuesday, it fit the thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
