I absolutely DREAD having to go to the grocery store for JUST ONE THING. Because you know you just can't buy that ONE THING......You have to make your trip worth while.......So you end up leaving with at LEAST $80 worth of stuff.......You may not necessarily need all that stuff......But you buy it anyways......
If I leave with that ONE thing and that's it, I feel like something is missing...... The whole way home I go over what I could have missed.....I end up driving myself nuts...lol
But what really gets to me, is when you go in for that ONE THING and either they DON'T have it, OR......You end up forgetting all about and don't realize it until you get all the way home........
The Deli counter........Should I even go there.......I feel like I always make a mad dash for the "Ticket Number Thingy"...lol........Like I'm in a nascar race.........The line is always ridiculously long........The people are almost ALWAYS grouchy.........And everyone always takes their good old time figuring out what they want......Or they ask tons of questions and want to sample everything.....
I rarely ever go shopping by myself, if EVER.........You would think I would get a lot more accomplished without a 7 year old asking you to buy everything and wanting to weigh everything on the electronic scales for fun, and when your 17 month old is whining and trying to pull the drawstrings on your jacket......But NO........It's harder for me to think clearly when they're not there........Especially when Evan isn't there reminding me of what we have to get......(I swear Evan has the best memory out of all of us).
And what's with the "15 Items or Less" or the "Self Check Out" lanes.......The "15 items or less" lane IS ALWAYS SLOW MOVING ........OH AND..........I am always doing something wrong at the "Self Check Out"........The computer hates me, I know it.......Either that or she's a pure diva.............She always tells me "Unknown item in bagging area"......"Please wait for assistance"........."Items removed from bagging area"......UGH....I love talking back to her.......I swear people must think I'm nuts.......But she messed with me first....lol
The person before you almost always have a million coupons and the manager always has to be called for over rides......Or someone pays by check.......You know they make check cards these days.....lol.......They take forever to write them out and then the ancient and hardly ever used dinosaur of a check machine isn't working right or the check gets stuck.......Or ......You get the idea..... :0)
Avery is FOREVER trying to touch all the buttons on the credit card machine.....UGH.......Once he did a real doozy (is that even a word??... :0]) and they had to rescan all of my items......I never got so many dirty looks at a store before..... :0).........
Do you have any crazy grocery store tales you care to share???

My hubby does more grocery shopping than me. :) He's less likely to buy impulsively than I am.
well I dread grocery shopping in general.
I laughed at all your true comments.
But, I will say that in the Pittsburgh area people are serious about their deli's. They have at least 4 people working there that are moving fast (at least at all the stores I have been too). So, I love the deli now. But I swear in all the other places in other towns etc they never "get" how to work a deli. there would only ever be one person working there who was so S-L-O-WWWWWWWWW... I also dreaded ever ever going there. It would be common for me to be waiting in a deli line for at least 30 minutes.
It sounds like my trips to the grocery store with the kids. I usually stop for that one thing, end up buying everything else and still forget the ONE thing that I stopped for.
I worked in a deli for 5 years...OMG!! the samplers...I hated those people..they sampled almost everything and rarely bought anything. Craziness!!
I hear ya! Molly freaks out if we don't get the cart with the car attached to it. And she is grabbing everything from the sides of it, and knocking things down, but I am like you, I hate going by myself!
