People who stand with the freezer door open to decide what they want. Is there a problem with looking through the window??

This... maybe it's my experience working in a grocery store as a kid. But, I managed to learn how to do it correctly. I even put items that are alike on the conveyor together but, they don't seem to get the hint.
The deli thing with the woman who can't make up her mind about the thickness of her deli meats. I've been on the other end of this. Having customers say, that's too thin, that's too thick.. a little thicker..a little thinner...
But the best ever was the "pig tail lady".. she would come in once a week a buy pig tails. But she had to have the "right" pig tails. I remember thinking"lady, it's a pigs arse !! how can one be better than the other?"

Not really, this happens in most NOLA grocery stores. Not all, but most.

Family reunions in the middle of, or at the end, of any aisle.

elderly people in the self check out lines or people with an IQ less than 80 trying to self check out their 10 different veggies.

The most annoying thing I encounter is people that still use checks. What is the point?

- smug little 'earthies' who glare at you in line while they heap 25 nasty-arse cloth bags out of their basket onto the counter to start putting groceries in
- people writing checks..and they're usually the same ones who dig around in a hen's nest of 500 coupons shoved in a wad they're trying to use.
....oh and they also usually sit there and argue over 15 cents for days.
- hot grocery check-out girls (wait..no. wrong thread)
- the deli and butcher meat dudes and dudettes going home by 7pm (usually about the time i can make to the store) and having to chase the store manager down and begging him to have someone come over there and cut my damn cheese for me

I hate it when they cram my bread in a bag that’s already full, doesn’t have a level surface to sit on in the bag, or is put at the bottom of the bag with items on top. I always take the bread out of my buggy last and request that it go in a bag by itself. I can handle almost anything else, but don't squish my sandwich bread.

Wal-Mart....i hate that place with a passion. I try to avoid going there at all costs.
The other day i sat in line for 5 minutes at walgreens while the a-hole in front of me argued that his batteries should have rang up .50 cheaper and demanded to speak with a manager. I wanted to scream!

I got to re-experience part of the grocery bagging/loading fun again this weekend at Winn-Dixie in P-ville.... The bagger girl had most of the stuff bagged before the basket was completely empty then wnet to another aisle....I decided load the filled bags into the cart myself..Started with the drinks and heavier stuff so as not to smash everything else...then the manager steps in and is going to show me how it's done....apparently i was going fast enough. I said" i'm more interested in loading it right than fast....she gave me a lil look and glanced towards the line...then proceeds to tie the f'kin bags shut...... I HATE when they do that ! then I have to tear the f'kers apart at home to get the stuff out...

Why is it that I always get stuck behind the guy who has apparently never had to swipe his own credit/debit card and enter his PIN, select cash back amount, etc?
You should be required to have a permit to use the self checkout aisle. If you're incapable of scanning, bagging, and paying in an appropriate amount of time, you should have to go to a cashier.
Why can't all grocery stores of the same type be arranged the same way? Why is the bread aisle at one Albertson's clear across the store from the bread aisle at another Albertson's? You shouldn't need a map to find your shite.
If the store is open, why isn't the butcher/seafood guy there? Don't close a vital section of the store before the store itself closes.
Invest in some towels for the cart collectors. I shouldn't have to have a wet grocery cart on a rainy day.
The plastic bags will in fact fit more than one item. I hate coming home with 30 items and 25 plastic bags.
