Now grated, the flyer hadn’t going through the store’s legal department but to question and kick up a fuss and hold a lineup for over 20 minutes because you were trying to find the batteries that were supposed to be on sale in the flyer… fucking ridiculous.
it’s bad when I wait in a grocery store line with only 2 people in front of me longer than the fucking insane costco lines.
I mean, I’ve told people I don’t mind wandering and getting lost in crowds, but not for unnecessary bullshit like that!
If you couldn’t figure it the fuck out, then get your groceries and go to fucking customer service.

I’m NOT A HOLIDAY HATER…
though I will admit that this doesn’t really feel like the holidays yet.
It snuck up on me too quickly and I haven’t decorated or anything….
ok, maybe I am! wow, never thought of it like that.
alright, FUCK YOU santa…
You’re lucky we already got the lamb roast or VENISON would be on the menu for christmas.
BTW, this bitch had no consideration for anyone but herself and she walked to the batteries… walked back, he checked them… nope, not on sale… ok, walked back to the batteries…. walked back to check them. nope, not on sale…. walked back to the batteries…. etc.
GAWD
Like the person at the checkout knows everything going on in every dept. throughout the damn store.
I actually feel worse for the poor cashier, than those in the line !
zZz: I had someone try and convince me a case of iced tea was on sale once when I did my time as a cashier at SS and got VERY pissed off when a manager said it wasn’t. She was convinced there was a sign that said it was 2.99 or something like that. Even I went to go look and there was no sign and it wasn’t in the flyer (for that week or the week before). I don’t know WHAT she was smoking…but…
And then I had two older people come in for the batteries that were on sale but we were sold out so I said “you can get a raincheck at customer service and get the same price when they come in.” Obviously they didn’t get it or listen to me (they were too buying bitching over their batteries) because they went on and on about how Gaelin Weston “just lost a sale…” (as if Gaelin Weston is going to cry himself to sleep over losing a $2.99 sale *eyeroll*).
Maybe this bitch ran out of batteries in her vibrator and didn’t have enough $cratch to buy them at full price? Probably would explain her shitty disposition 😛
heh… likely PK.
the flyer said “up to %50 off” and it was for the 4 packs… so she grabbed an 8 pack, had poor cashier scan it… (and obviously) nope, not on sale…
went back, grabbed another type of 8 pack…. scanned, nope.
went back… grabbed another kind of 8 pack…. scanned, nope.
the guy in front of us explains the flyer says both UP TO %50, and it’s for the 4 packs…
so she FINALLY buys two 4-packs after grumbling and fussing….
I mean, I understand it takes time to ring people through but the world doesn’t stop because you can’t read or figure out what the fuck you want.
I never read flyers. When I need stuff, I buy it. When I don’t need things, I don’t shop. If I happen to be shopping when stuff is on sale—great!
Time is valuable, and most people would lose more money by driving around chasing every flyer sale than I could ever “make back” by buying the sale item.
Holding up a grocery store line for 20 minutes—at this time of year? The store, and everyone else in the line, should have presented those wierdos with a bill for the total of all the time they wasted. Full freelance rates, of course.
I wish someone would explain to me the insanity that ensues every time batteries (how many do you need?) and eggs go on sale.
Unfortunately, I live by the flyers to a degree (I save money by bulk buying on sales). But, I use them as a reference while writing my shopping list. I am well aware that the item may not be there when I go to the store. So, I simply get a raincheck or suck it up (sometimes none of the items are available). Also, I don’t go to each store…I simply show the competitors’ flyer, and the price is matched. Getting angry won’t make the item magically appear.
Even if I were in the financial position to pay top price without a thought, I think that I would still try to be thrifty. People generally work hard for their money, so even if they simply took the money saved and bought extra specials to put into the Food Bank box, they’re getting more for their efforts.
I pick my produce, meat, etc. based on sales that I notice in store. If I notice that, say, chicken breasts are on sale then I stock up and freeze ’em (oh the joys of having a deep freezer). That’s all the effort I’m going to invest in bargain hunting, though.
Did she smell bad, zZz?
I got stuck in line in the speedy line behind this guy who stunk to high heavens (he smelled like a toilet, literally) inquiring about a set of lights and whether or not the pack was 40% off like the other ones despite not having a sticker on it. The cashier was nice and patient and went out of his way. Then when it came my turn he was kind of snitty because I dropped something and had to send my mom back to get it and kept asking me “do you just want to put these things through?” and sighing and shit. That pissed me off because a) I just waited 20 minutes in line for you to be more than willing to help some random stinky guy and b) I wasn’t putting two debits through and THEN going back and waiting in the long ass line up.
Sure I was holding the line up (not even a minute at that!), but after having to wait 20 minutes behind a guy smelling like a toilet, I wasn’t about to spend another 20 in line again (the line had gotten really long, obviously), and I wasn’t using up my monthly debits and quite frankly, I didn’t like the cashier’s attitude.
Call me an asshole, but if everyone else can take their sweet fucking time, so can I. (and just to note: the fucking box of lights toilet-guy had were already SCANNING AT 40% off FFS).
Getting that off my chest felt good 😛
luckily I had a young couple (who were just as pissed as we were) to buffer so I am unaware of her nasal potency factor.
I should have switched lines (since the others were emptying faster than a weed jar at a snoop dog concert) but then I thought of Office Space and all it’s good teachings.
Grammar Police, we have a criminal at large!!
CALLING KAY your gramatical prose is needed here please help this thread – correct it – noone gets anyone point here because a word was mispelled and a misplace punctuation totally took away from the point . HAHA I couldn’t resist
A suggestion to SS and Obey’s – create a new checkout: Douchebags and other assorted Arseholes; bring as many or as few items as you want, you have to argue with the checkout person, and you must stink like rancid cat piss – carry a flyer that’s 2 weeks out of date – and can say loud and clear “that Peter Kelly is the best darned Mayor this city has ever had”
man, it happens all the time, it’s a part of everyday fucking life. i personally hate being behind people with coupons, or my worst hate, penny counters. but again, it’s all part of life.
oh, and by the way, if you have a chance and a car, go over to the gateway store on the number 7 hiway. they have fantastic deals, just about everyday on meat and chicken, and other types of meat.it‘s worth the trip. what you get anywhere else for 300 hundred bucks,i can get there, fresher,and local for half that.
is it just me, or does anyone else notice that something seems to be missing tonight.
No matter what check-out line I get into at a store, it is always the wrong one. I can get into a line with one person to avoid the line with four people in it but the fifth person to join that line will get through the check-out first. It never fails.
Just yell ” red light special aisle 6 60 percent off everything” and then watch em all run – then you get to the front of the line right away and also get to leave before they start a 46 minute bitch about shit tickets being 3 cents over the flyer price hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I hate waiting when people are arguing about sale prices, coupons, or counting out every last penny. That’s fine if no one is behind you, but I just want to get in and get the fuck out.
I’ll be the first to guess KAYY is fat’s alter ego….
at least I THINK I’m the first…
