jerk.
So which grocery store is full of jerks like you? I’ll be sure to avoid it.
Wow. Judge much OP?? Guess I’ll never run into you on the Darkside!
What are Plebs???
You: Classist fucker.
I had the same question Jennie…
I had to look it up too… http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?…
Thanks. That’s a new one for me.
I shop at the Young Street SS, OP. What does that make me?
Thanks Fish. Sounds like the OP is a Pleb… I guess… Whatever.
Jennie: that makes you someone who likes the convenience of the liquor store next door 🙂 That’s why I shop there sometimes 🙂
You’re on to me NM! Sooooooo convenient!
I shop at sobeys… Lol
Portland st super store is the shit hands down
Guess what I’m a student and I probably have more money than you buddy. There is bitching and then there is outright being an asshole, and you’re an asshole, and an anti-social hermit. Just stay in your hole if you can’t handle grocery shopping with the normal population fucker.
Hey, OP, how did you become such a complete assbone?
If I need to be catagorized, I’ll go see a shrink, thanks.
“Plebs?” Could this be Most Pretentious Bitch ever? I love how the OP apparently transcends categorization.
It’s not tedious enough to go to the grocery store, no – now I get to imagine some asswipe standing over in the corner, surveying the great unwashed masses, stroking his chin and pondering how best to assuage his own feelings of inadequacy.
Good one, Mole.
location location location! LOL
So what happened to not being able to name specific Businesses with locations and such in bitches?
Good question, mynewscreenname. Shouldn’t such posters be beaten unconscious with a cement-filled rubber boot?
Portland St Superstore is the shizz. It’s actually big enough that you dont have to worry about a smash up shopping cart derby. By the way, you were never socialized as a child, were you? Maybe you should go to puppy school and learn to play nice.
Cool…I get the nod (salt of the earth type). Although, when I am on the Farside :), I shop at the Barrington Superstore, and I love Chocolate Labs (don’t go there Mole Rat)…man, now I’m confused…I don’t know where I am supposed to shop 🙁
Pleb = plebian (latin), the common people. I knew grade 12 latin would come in handy someday….
I appear to be either a broke student or a lotto loser. I’m guessing our judgy OP is a Joe Howe goer – with all those ‘salt of the earth’ people.
Also, very good call re: names, didn’t even realize it until it was mentioned.
“Guess what I’m a student and I probably have more money than you buddy.”
What a statement LOL. How fucking ignorant are you? Or at least explain what information you used to come to this conclusion?
You’re stupid, OP.
OP is definitely Pete from the Frootique.
I shop at Queen St. Sobeys and Barrington Market and the students I see aren’t broke. That’s why they’re able to pay for their grocery. Lots of young working class there too, same with the Market.
You shop at Barrington Superstore and you love chocolate labs? Personals section is over thataway…
I wonder if OP shops at Quinpool Superstore.
I don’t know about that…OP thinks he has a lot to offer. A little salt in those wounds, OP?
What the fuck are Plebs? Pretentious Liberals Eating Biscotti and Samosa?
Should be working told us:
Pleb = plebian (latin), the common people
Aren’t we all common folk?
So let me get this straight. Plebs=common people. But, aren’t common people the salt of the earth? And aren’t people who drive Caravans generally families, who can be common people (Plebs) or the salt of the earth people? It’s too much for me…I’m shopping at SaveEasy.
I’m not a yuppy, or a baby boomer. I must be a chocolate lab.
I prefer to be the pepper of the earth. Too much salt gives me high blood pressure.
yeah, salt is gross. one time i tried planting it to make salt trees and it just destroyed my lawn 🙁
All of the Superstores have gone to shit. They expanded the only good one on Joe Howe to the point where it is a day trip to buy a carton of milk. Totally destroyed the goodness of the place. Portland and BLIP are similar. All SS staffers seem to hate their jobs too and provide zero service.
Sobeys is getting more appealing every day. Plus their bags are still free.
Stop & Shop was pleasant till they got a nauseating new logo.
Superstore ALSO jacked up their prices. It’s no longer any cheaper to shop there as opposed to Sobeys…
I don’t like the new rennos at SS in BLIP. The new cashes are ok, but….the rest of the store can suck it. You get used to where things are in a store and then they go and change it and you have to spend hours finding the one thing you want.
As for Joe Howe SS — whomever thought making the isles horizontal instead of vertical to the cash registers needs their architecture/design degree revoked. STUPID move.
And yeah: most SS employees hate their jobs. That’s pretty much the main topic OF conversation at any given point in time between any given number of SS employees.
I agree with the OP–the most excellent stereotypes I’ve seen all year… I bet the majority of you posters calling the OP an idiot (and other fun things) fit into the crappy grocery store categories, and you can’t handle the truth. I wear my badge of broke student with pride.
Folks, the first step is always the hardest.
SS’s high prices are as much a joke as their slogan “prices you can trust”. If they gotta tell me I can trust them my first instinct tells me the opposite is true. Comparison shopping only confirms this. Who does Galen Weston think he is fooling? Give me a break!!!
BTW OP: Why aren’t you more concerned with SS’s gouging policies than sizing up fellow patrons?
when i want anything i avoid the big stores.they are so fucken confusing sometimes.you go today,maybe tomorrow,everything is somewhere else.they have a habit of doing this a lot,why you ask?so that you spend more time looking and possibly buy more junk than normal,just to get out of there.but i agree,the bags should be free,fuck the 5 cents or whatever.sobey’s in cp are charging for them,last time i was there,about 2 months ago.and get this,they are the flimsiest pieces of crap you can find,the samee with ss when they get you to buy them.you wanna really fuck them up,go get a ton of easy to carry shit,go thru a bagless stores,then act all pissed off,and leave everything on the counter(after rang up)and leave the store.10 people a day doing this,and they will start thinking about charging for bags.i did just that at joe howe ss and got the bags free.not that i’m cheap,but just to get under their skins.it takes stupid little things to get stupid big companies to change their policies.shop gateway meats in dartmouth,off 7 hiway for the best price on meat,and decent prices to boot.see yas.
I hope there wasn’t anything interesting in Life Sucks’ post because my eyes hurt just looking at it, so I never get past the first line.
Barrington didn’t renovate, they just switched the aisles around, so it’s even more confusing.
I like SS for their own brands, most of which are awesome. But either way I just shop the sales at both stores. Although SS has me all confused with the new “just lower prices” thing.
All you narrow-minded shits that want to dis the grocery chains etc should really take a walk outside our own back yard sometime… Take a look at where most other people in the world get their food, then come back here, and appreciate the variety, freshness, convenience, reasonable cost, yes I said it, and all else that S/Store etc. have to offer… Then after that you might not sound so goddamn provincial when you post here…
Especially you, Life Sucks…
I shop at the Lacewood Sobeys- It’s close to me, they have Airmiles…can’t say I’ve ever noticed “creepy, grimy slackers”…and I’m definitely not creepy, grimy, OR a slacker, and the caravan part I just don’t understand. OP, you’re a dick.
CHEESE SALE WAL MART $2~!
hahaha
