F... those who dont respect the express lane at the grocery store
 

I went to the grocery store last night and i picked up about 15 items so i decided to go to the "express lane" to save time.i got behind 3 elderly ladies together with about 50 items in 1 cart.they believe that just because they are ringing their individual purchases seperatly that they could use the express lane.The oldest lady puts her stuff on the belt and her total comes to about 17 dollars.she reaches into her purse and pulls out a wallet and inside the wallet she pulls out a baggie and inside the baggie she has quarters dimes and nickles. SHE PAID WITH CHANGE for a 17 dollar tab.after about 5 min. she realizes she doesnt have enough change (this, of course, was after she counted it twice)her friend had to give her the rest of the money. she turned a 5 min. trip to the grocery store into a 30 ordeal.:censored:

I'll go ahead and be the guy who says what we're all thinking...

F... OLD PEOPLE.

Never go to the express lane. Seems to be the slowest moving line in the grocery store.

I'll also say F...People Who ALWAYS Pay with Checks.

Do you have not a debit card by now?

Those piss me off and people who try really hard to make exact change by reaching in every orifice looking for change.

Re: F... those who dont respect the express lane at the grocery store
 

HAHAHAHA! My fiancee definitely does the life story thing. I'm like shut yer trap and buy this food so you can make my dinner.

If she read that, she'd kick my ass. :(

Re: F... those who dont respect the express lane at the grocery store
 

my wife and i will intentionally go to the store at 10 or 11pm so we can avoid the SLOW-ASS people. last night couldnt be helped cause i needed baby formula but it reminded me of how much i hate people.

Re: F... those who dont respect the express lane at the grocery store
 

Yup, that's a good call. She loves to go right after work, but I'm like, "Girl, I'll WAKE UP at drive to the store at night so I don't have to deal with the crowds."

No doubt. Wal-Mart is classic for that. It's like all the creepy mofos come out to shop for goldfish, groceries and the blood of virgins.

In the words of Moe Syzlak "Call this an unfair generalization if you must, but old people are no good at everything."

I always try to go grocery shopping late at night. For one thing, then I'm not going on an empty stomach and buying everything in the store. But I get easily frustrated in any sort of line. I have no patience

Seriously, writing checks is so old school.

Get with the 21st century and get a damn debit card.

Re: F... those who dont respect the express lane at the grocery store
 

It's ONLY old people now. And they take 10 years to write it OR they'll be like, "Can you print it for me?" And it drives me nuts because I could have DRAWN money for them to pay with by then.

I didnt mean to turn this into an old person bashing but OLD PEOPLE SUCK

Re: F... those who dont respect the express lane at the grocery store
 

My wife and I tend to shop later in the evening as well...to avoid the ignorant masses. And I usually use Self Checkout anytime I can, because how hard is it to scan your shit and bag it? And to avoid Granny Badwitch and her 23,405 pennies to pay for cat food and prune juice.

good old commisary lines. anyone else notice the polar opposite of some wives with some being hot as hell while others r somewhat scary looking? plus when I used to go I was only in my mid to late teens and there were always cute daughters to make eyes and flirt with so for me the commisary was never too bad, it was the putting away of everything that was a pain in the ass.

as far as the express lane thing, I hate it when the person ahead of u complains about something ringing up for a few more cents than what they thought it would be and demand it be changed even if it means waiting for a manager. and does anyone else consistently have another lane open up after u've been waiting in the so called express line for about 5-10 minutes but there r too many people behind u for u to get over to the newly opened lane? I seem to have that happen too me one-third of the times I go to the grocery store before 8.

Re: F... those who dont respect the express lane at the grocery store
 

or you have two lanes that are about the same in length and the one you always choose seems to take the longest.

Re: F... those who dont respect the express lane at the grocery store
 

One day you guys are going to be old so lets give them a little slack. We don't realy have a problem with long line except when you know they are going to be busy. I still use checks and have it all ready to go so everyone does not have to wait for me to fill out a complete check only the total. I had a debit card but did away with it for 2 good reasons. 1 I have both savings and checking with the same bank and over draft protection for my checking from my savings. If some one got into my card they could drain my checking then my savings. 2 I seem to spend more when I can just pop the card in and get more cash. I use my credit card for most thing and then just pay off the balance every month and I receive points for my charges.

Re: F... those who dont respect the express lane at the grocery store
 

Do they have costco's or samsclubs out there?

I love costco! free food samples. you can buy 10 pounds of crab legs, some grey gooose vodka, a cake, a computer and plasma tv all in one place. what else does a man need? oh underwear and socks. then have them too!

But the long ass lines too leave? JESUS PEOPLE!!! JESUS!!!
do i really ahve to wait for your kid to find an extra jumbo size box of corndogs? can you please get everything you need befor you commit to the checkout line?

Live fast, die young. Woot woot.

Re: F... those who dont respect the express lane at the grocery store
 

Since I live near the only Costco in the county, it hellasucks. I only go if I really need something, and it's not a weeknight or weekend day. The lines are atrocious, and to cram as much crap in the store as they can, you can only accomodiate so much room for the lines. And then they only have 3 registers open, when lines call for 6.

And...I always pick the longest line.
