When I'm not in a hurry, I enjoy people watching in the grocery. It's sort of a game to figure them out by the groceries they buy.
I do this. Weirdest thing I've ever seen was an old woman who bought 500 of those little tiny cans of cat food. It was all assorted flavors and prices so each can had to be scanned. Took about 20 minutes.

"What are you going to cook with that?"

people blocking aisles while carrying on conversations and not letting anyone through.
people shopping hogging the aisle while on cell phone

I wish people would have enough brain to be able to pay attention to where they are stopping their cart and standing in relation to other people trying to get down the aisle. Don't stand beside your cart while you try to figure out which box of mac & cheese will save you .07.
I'll add to this people who stop and have a reunion with other shoppers, blocking both sides of the aisle so no one can pass.
ETA: And nevilletiger has noticed this as well, I see!

3. There are too many kinds of tampons. See above.
I don't think this should be a valid complaint unless you have a cycle.

Standing in the middle of the aisle carrying on conversation is a huge one for me.

4. The woman in front of you waits till all her groceries have been scanned before she begins to look for her check book.
Actually I will just say people that still pay with checks. Go get a fricking debit card for christ's sake. It's free and 100xs quicker.

Our locally owned, family grocery store quit taking checks. It is cash or card only. I love going there. You are in and out in no time.

People that open the milk cooler and stand there, staring at the milk with the cooler door open, and blocking the two or three doors they're parked in front of.

Stores that are out of what I need. hint hint, target (don't go there on a Sunday, looks like a hurricane is on the way they are so out of everything)

Seeing people with 2 carts full of groceries yank out a Louisiana Purchase Card.
Anyone who pays with a check
People that argue over a .25 cent coupon that didn't ring up.

This +1000, young and old.
Some people just seem to be completely oblivious to the fact that there are actually other people in the store. And when I grit my teeth and say "Excuse me please" they are actually startled.

Last time I was at the grocery the following took place. I was behind a woman at the checkout. As she was checking out i said, I bet your single. She said yes I am, how did you know that? Was it from the items I am buying? I said no, its because your fricking ugly.

1. I can never get a buggy that actually rides smooth. I carefully check when I grab one, but 20 seconds later it breaks down. It never fails.
2. Dumbasses standing in the aisle talking while I'm trying to shop.
3. Wal-Mart never has any Tylenol PM. As a matter of fact, their pharmacy shelves are always bare.
Bonus: Everytime I go in Central Wal-Mart I see a pregnant teenager.

I didn't think it was funny, either. Probably beats small animals, too.
