This. They should have a signs or a designated aisle for this.

not a 21 issue. just a liquor license issue, is a inconvenience though and always seems to happen when i'm pressed for time the most..
my biggest is when you get a price matcher in front of you, nobody should have this policy

I said this a long time ago. If you purchase your groceries with food stamps you should be required to turn to the people behind you in the line and say:
"Thank you kindly for my groceries, Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayers."

Walking into Wal-Mart

1. When there is a group of people asking for donations at the front door of a store.
2. Any usage of a check.
3. Waiting for all of your groceries to be packed and in the cart before you even consider looking for some form of payment.
4. The woman in ther deli that is never happy with the thickness of her turkey. Takes five tries to make her happy.
5. The fact that 80% of the time that I am in a grocery store, a manager is needed to override the computer for somebody in front of me.
6. Why the hell are there 25 lanes??? Usually only about 3-5 are actually open. Makes no sense to me.
7. I hate when there are 15 people in each of the two lanes that are open and the manager is just overseeing operations. Get your arse over there and open another lane.
8. The hood rat skanks in front of you that put too much stuff in thier cart, can't afford it, and then proceed to remove one item at a time till their total is acceptable.
9. People that bitch because they thought that their item was .03 cheaper. Really??!! I'll give you a quarter to get the hell out of the way.
I am getting pissed just typing this. I hate grocery stores.

This! There's even a number gauge on some counters so you can just tell them the number of thickness you want, but some people won't be satisfied with that either.

People who cannot count the number of items they have for the Speedy Checkout lane. Pisses me off when the lane says 15 items or less, I have two items and the person in front of me has at least 25 items. I really wish the scanners would have an alarm when 16 items are scanned that would announce throughout the store "This idiot in the fast checkout lane cannot count, what part of 15 items or less do you not understand"!

1. Collecting for a "cause" at the front door. I give a pass to Girl Scout cookies, everyone else...I gave at the office.
2. People who leave their buggy in the parking lot (unless they have a space for them). C'mon, it isn't that far and only takes a second.
3. Unmarked produce items, I don't want to get scammed into buying a $4 tomato.
4. Water sprayers in the produce, WTF??? If you'd get fresh stuff in the 1st place you wouldn't be sweating it.
5. Not having something I want.
6. Stores that sell Cream of anything soup. Why help the gastronomically impaired, do you really want to shop with low-lifes like that?

Forgot about that one. Ditto for the store trying to do the same. "Would you like to contribute $1 to xxx today?" makes me grit my teeth. I came to buy groceries, not donate to whatever cause store management is supporting this week.

Cream of Mushroom/Celery is quite good to cook with.

I usually encounter this at Petsmart, but have been asked this at Albertson's as well. I always asked if the store will match my donation dollar-for-dollar. When they say no, they feel like the a-hole for not donating, not me.

Lots of things posted here I agree with. The biggest pet peeve of mine is when extremely sick people go out shopping in a grocery store hacking and coughing all over everything. Covering their mouths with their hands is something not done in Wal-Mart. But even if they do they grab ahold of the cart and lay all their germs for the next guy to come around and pick up. Hate that. If you're sick....stay home.

Great topic, especially when you're washing clothes hungover from the night before.

I was in front of a woman in the express lane (12 items or less). I had 12 items (counted before I got in line).
The woman looked at me and said, "You're in the wrong line."
Me: "How so?"
Her: "This is for 12 items or less."
Me: "Oh...well, let's count them together. One..two...three..."
Me: "Looks like I have 12 items. Must be the right line."
She screwed her face up but didn't apologize.

1- Buying 12 items & ending up with them bagged in 10 different bags.
2- People who stand with the freezer door open to decide what they want. Is there a problem with looking through the window??
