What’s some good grocery store etiquette that you practice?Do you shop at the same exact store because you know where everything is or do you go somewhere else from time to time? Do you always get the same size cart or do you switch it up and go to the hand basket?When you’re out of town do you like checking out grocery stores that you don’t have in your area? Do you arrange your items on the conveyor belt for best bagging or do you mix it up?Do you place the divider behind your stuff so that the waggie doesn’t accidentally ring up the person behind you’s items?Have you ever taken items out of a fellow shopper’s cart when they weren’t looking?Do you return items to their proper place or do you randomly place milk and frozen products in the cat food isle?Do you bring a cooler with you to store cold items or just raw dog it home? Do you bring your own bags?Do you ever pay bills at the grocery store or buy concert tickets from ticket master at the customer service counter?Ever rented the carpet cleaner or bought dry ice at your grocery store?Do you return the cart or just leave it wherever?At the deli do you ask for a specific number of slices or do you just ask for a half pound of bologna? Do you fill your prescriptions at your grocery store?Do you fill up with gasoline at your grocery store?Are you a loyalty member?Do you clip coupons and check for sales?Do you like to buy fresh meats and seafood from the store’s butcher?Do you like to go down every isle or do you skip the ones that you don’t need?Do you check out or ignore the clearance section?Me? I always go to produce 1st, grab a pineapple and put it in my cart like so. Have had quite a few interesting conversations because of this, especially when my wife is pushing the cart.
>>21996033I always return the cart. I once bought dry ice at the store and I feel like it’s always an inconvenience on them. I’ve purchased hot food at my grocery store as well as prepared macaroni salads and ambrosia from the ready to eat food counter. I don’t know why the hot foods at any store is always ran by the laziest of people. I love going to out of town grocery stores in different cities to see if they’re better or worse or what unique things that they have. Always arrange things for optimal packing. Used to bring my own bags but they look at you funny so I stopped. Have brought a cooler. The cookies at my grocery store always sucked, so I don’t buy them. Never rented the carpet cleaner.
no human would willingly type this many wordsstop itlyrics to the hms pinaforeif I need to wash my car and the carwash is 40 meters away should I walk out drive?
>>21996033Why does the "shopping cart question" leave out the other two options? Cart theft and using it as a projectile.
>>21996043You drive since the purpose of the car wash is to get your car cleaned and to launder money for the mob.Do you buy from the bulk food section?
>>21996052Nihilist!
>>21996033At Costco I go down almost every aisle but not the regular grocery store.I usually check out the grocery store clearance section, but almost never buy anything thereAlso if I see someone finishing putting their groceries in their car as I’m walking in I like to ask if I can take their cart for them (the cart bitch wagies all salute me jk)
I put things in the cart with the barcode up so I can use the hand scanner at the self checkout and blitz through everything. takes like 10 seconds to scan it all if the machine isn't slow. wegmans doesn't need you to put it in the bagging area if you use the hand scanner
>>21996071Based cart returner. Sometimes I’ll take one out of the parking lot and into the store.
*smack*Yeah that’s right, good fences make good neighbors.
>>21996033i go to every store for the thing they have that the other place doesnt have, or if they have the better price. sometimes i go to 3 or 4 stores in one day. i dont ever use a basket of any kind because i can carry it all and if i cant i wont buy it. i self checkout with cash and i ring up the expensive coffee as cheap coffee.
I hate people that use self-checkout, but are too retarded or enfeebled to check out faster than a standard conveyor lane. Half of the time they end up needing staff help anyways.
basket only, beeline for what i'm here for, check the discount shelf for something new to try, then straight to self-checkout if they have iti try to interact with others at a minimum, and be out of everybodys way, because i've been on the other side of somebody just hemming and hawing over a decision while parked in the middle of an aisle so nobody can go throughalso, i have my payment ready, i know how much is on my card or in my wallet, and plan accordingly
>>21996080What a stupid argument.If your kids were fine walking from car to cart, they can walk from cart to car.You load the shoppingReturn the cartCarry or walk your hellspawn back to the carJust idiots trying to justify laziness
>>21996033HOLY MOTHER OF REDDIT SPACING

Ever met anyone interesting at the grocery store?
>>21996361Yes
>>21996036To answer your question about the hot foods, deli is known as the punishment department. They move the people there that they want to quit because union rules make it difficult to fire them.
I once spent about an hour or perhaps more at the grocery store walking down every aisle to learn what was there. I normally buy eggs, milk, fruit, and a baguette. Abnormally I will buy sushi, graham crackers, cereal, sparkling water, veggies, and cat food. Thanks to the joggers running up in the grocery stores, toothpaste and shampoo is all locked up and I have to order that stuff from Amazon, which is annoying because I used to open the shampoo and smell them to see if I actually wanted that flavour, now I have to guess. I buy the party size salt and vinegar chips only when they are on sale for 3.99. I learned who the worst cashier is in the store and avoid her line. I also go to the Filipino market a block away to buy a 15lb sack of rice and their imported soy sauce and vinegar. I use it in cooking and a 1:1 mix makes a good dipping sauce.
>>21996373>toothpaste and shampoo is all locked upGosh. I'm glad I don't live in such a low-class area as yours.
>>21996033I know what you're planning to make, OP
>>21996378Yeah me three
>>21996373>I used to open the shampoo and smell them to see if I actually wanted that flavourYou shouldn't eat shampoo anon. Dam tide pods and Tik tok really messed up the zoomies
I get groceries every 6-8 weeks. It takes 3 hours by the time I seperate meat into bags for freezing. Produce I will leave a day to do the same. Kikes took the bags away here so they deserve holocausting for that alone. Unless grocery store has 50% off expiring meat and they rarely do now since employees would need it for themselves; I get meat from restaurant supply in 10lb boxes. Dairy I get from Loblaws. High nutrition food I get from Walmart. I'll spend $50 a year for ridiculously priced gummies from Bulkbarn. Catelli meat sauce is only available in a dollar store in the basement of an old mall.

>>21996033i do curbside because people are actually fucking insane these days.
Have you ever seen one of these rented?
>>21996727i rented one when i moved into an apartment once.the carpet smelled like cigs and i refuse to smell that nonsense.can't wait until we outlaw all nicotine products.
>>21996361There was this clearly borderline warm iq fat cashier with the largest boobs I've ever seen irl. She had slam pig body. I flirted her up a bit to start things rolling but then never saw her again. Mostly though I call it the circus. There is a young girl there wth facial hair, a tall lanky dude who looks like an alien, there's the girl with three tits, really she just had a massive tit tail. My favorite is the autismos they hire to bag, they all look like rats it's weird. Stopped going to that grocer because they would bag heavy things with my bread smashing it.
>>21996033I used to avoid Wal-Mart for many reasons but since they started having autism hours each morning, I mostly get groceries there. Now I really hate going into Kroger even more than I already did as they make their stores as annoying as possible.
>>21996727I've never seen anyone go through the rental process at the store but I've helped friends move and they rented one to clean the carpets after everything was moved out.
>>21996033Tried the pineapple thing once at a busy store on the weekend. Had two couples come up to me to 'talk' and two othe random women asking me where to find stuff in the store.

9 pm. basket. route planned in my head. walk approx. 3.5 mph on average and get my shit. self checkout. same dude asks if i'd like for him to take my basket. tell him yes please and thank you. he tells me to have a good night and i say, "you too." keys in the ignition and im out
>>21996422Just… where must one live for that to be the case? I live in a majority Asian area but the next hood over is majority Black and even their supermarket isn't like that (but they do have a bag checker/receipt checker at the door lmao).The only place that does anything like that is one of the four hmarts here (yes, there are four). They force people to give their bags to customer service before being allowed into the store.
>>21996514WEEEEEYOOOO WEEEEEEYOOOOOEXCUSE ME SIR YOU LEFT YOUR CARTHAVE A MAGNET
>>21996060i dont buy food from bulk since I've seen gross kids dig their gross hands through the buckets too many times.

>>21996821Why don't you just return your cart sir? It's just right there ->

This would have made sense 20 years ago but I basically just walk around the store and add stuff to my virtual cart, then I pay and go to the car to wait for them to bring it out. Some people don't even go to stores and get it shipped to their home but I like actually seeing it and discovering new things. So yeah, why would I do all that work myself when it costs me nothing more for them to bring it out to me?
>>21996816no idea what you are talking about.

>>21996834In the US, grocery stores in upper middle class neighborhoods sometimes operate gas stations, pharmacies, flower shops, and will have a custom service desk that can sometimes accommodate sending money orders, buying tickets for concerts and sporting events, renewing your vehicle’s registration, buying stamps, and paying your utility bills. They might also be where you go to exchange propane tanks and buy bags of ice and dry ice.
HEB Gasoline station
>>21996726THIS. I’m never going inside a grocery store again. Bring my shit out and put it in the back of my suv, bitch
When I worked at Kroger I would mark down dairy products to 99¢ when there was only one day left before the sell-by. So many morons would buy that shit. Including milk.
>>21997301You can drink milk at least a week after the sell by date. I’ll take all the milk I can carry for .99
>>21996851Do you go somewhere else while they’re picking your order?
>>21997384I order online, and choose when I go pick up the groceries. So easy and it’s a free service doesn’t cost you any extra.
>>21997276>grocery stores in upper middle class neighborhoods sometimes operate gas stations, pharmacies, flower shops, and will have a custom service desk that can sometimes accommodate sending money ordersnigga wutThis is also done in the ghettoest ghettos. It has nothing to do with the area and its relative wealth compared to other areas. It has to do with what the location thinks it can profit from. I used to live in an upper middle to upper class area (Society Hill, Philadelphia) before moving to Delaware and my nearest supermarket, an Acme, doesn't do any of that except stamps (which is pointless because the post office is around the corner), propane, shampooer rentals and ice. There's a CVS across the street for pharmacy, numerous flower shops right there, venues nearby to just buy tickets (but who buys tickets in person anymore?) etc etc etc. They might do money orders but who uses money orders anymore? They might have bill pay but who pays bills in person anymore? Meanwhile, ghetto-ass South Philadelphia has an Acme that does all of that except it doesn't have a gas station. Not sure any Acme does but Acme gives you free gas from Sunoco as a perk of shopping there anyway. And the reason they do it is because there's not much nearby that can accommodate those services and ghetto people still use money orders and bill pay in the year of our lord 2026.
>>21996851>>21997394The hidden cost is when they pick out the oldest produce and the meat that's starting to turn.
