I don't go to the grocery store much. I walk down to the local farmers market every saturday and get most of my food there. Occasionally I'll go to the local organic market to get stuff I can't get there. Just the perks of living in a non-flyover city. I feel bad for the rednecks who have to go to Wal Mart every two days to refill their snack cakes and fight opiate addicts for jugs of pop.

Do you prep for the whole experience?

It's so basic but nearly everyone fails. I gots me a big bag that I bring...sturdy. No plastic blues. You've got your list (organized by mental picture of said store layout) and then you organize BEFORE checkout in the cart (bulky items first--right, OJ, paper towels, so on--front loaded.) Sauces, cans, bottles, whatever. Napkins. Paper towels. Next are "whatev's" maybe I bought some tortillas or soap or a toothbrush. They fit in easily.

LAST IS PRODUCE--ginger, avocado, bananas, whateverthefuck. Here's where you speed up. The difference here is that you write down or memorize (or scan the PLU when possible/whats the code for rutabaga or celery root). All the while, you're bagging as you go. Bottles first, TP, so on. Tomato juice already in or whatever, Kleenex, all that shit at the bottom. MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE

I forgive old people; for they do not know better. You may be inclined to help them, as I have done many times. "do I push the button now?" I'm glad to see them up and about. But how you gonna act, 37 years old, on a "serious" bluetooth call, fucked up sweatpants, in a self service checkout, needing help on each 3 items....multiplied by 1000?!!!!

>> No.12328278

The only thing that really annoy me are the people who stand right in front of the shit when looking to see if they want to buy it or blocking an isle with there cart. As in they will go right up to the shelve and block everything else off usually in isles that are "heavy traffic". Also dicks who dump a fucking cart into the fucking express lane like I just want to buy a fucking bottle of wine or some other small shit STOp USING THE FUCKING EXPRESS LANE FOR YOU FUCKING $300 FUCKING DOLLAR PURCHASE GOD FUCKING DAMME. Otherwise I don't really care.

>> No.12328304

people who plant one of their kids or friends in a check out line while they continue to shop and then they just waltz to the front of a long cue when they are ready because their friend/kid decides to stay at the front and play gatekeeper and only let one person cut them at a time. its one thing if someone is in line with a full cart and they send the other person off to fetch a forgoten item or two otherwise they should only be allowed to commence cueing once they actually have most of their shit in a cart.

also cant stand those faggots who unload their entire cart and forget something so the entire cue has to wait for them to scramble off to get something.

Niggers. Plain amd simple.
There are some decent black employees that will bag shit right and make checlout smooth. But niggers will put like 1 or 2 items per bag. Then you end up with 20 bags for a small grocery trip. This has happened with multiple nigger baggers. I imagine they were new hires though.

Ducking in to grab something quick for lunch and other people just standing dead center of the display with no idea what they want. Just step back until you have an idea what you're going to grab and only get in the way when you're grabbing it.

And stepping out of someone's way only to be stepping in front of what they wanted to grab.

YES. My store has a really nice outdoor seating area where people can eat. There's a register by the door leading out to this area that's pretty much meant for people who want to purchase food to go outside. Invariably, there is always that person with 30 different items from produce which is extra annoying because produce is on the opposite side of the store and you pass both the regular checkouts and a bigger section of express checkout just to get to this one.

There are spans of time when I'm left alone to service the entire deli counter, which includes cutting meat, preparing sandwiches and cashiering, on most occasions during the lunch rush. It feels like I'm getting pummelled with death stares by the fucking customers waiting to be helped as I scatter to do my best in a timely manner. I don't think a lot of people understand what it's like to work customer service. I think we as a country would be a smarter more empathetic people if each person were assigned non ground military service and at least 3 months customer service.

As a customer and for the brief period I was a cashier, usually it's white women and welfare rats. White women clog the entire aisle and will just stand in a pack with their carts blocking all transit while they "catch up" with eachother acting like they didn't just speak to each other last week. They're also always the coupon motherfuckers who take forever with their shit and then have a tantrum when their 25c yogurt coupon doesn't go through.

Welfare shits just need to die. They always come in wearing their ratty ass pajamas that they never take off, never bathe and buy out all the meat and soda at once with their EBT and anything they can't afford or don't want (how do you go the entire time in the store with shit in your cart and decide at the end you don'y want it?) they'll just leave somewhere in the store or hide in the magazine rack next to the checkout.

Nah I feel that. People are super impatient for their shit, like you should have had it ready before they even showed up. But I mean don’t take it personally, they’re just frustrated and you’re the one behind the counter. Fucking embarrassing when I’m out with someone that chimps out at a waiter/teller/cashier/etc when you know it’s management’s fault if anything most of the time. Why the fuck would you yell at someone behind a deli counter for being alone at lunch? Do you think they told the rest of the staff “relax, I got this” when it hit 12?

people are less inclined to take you seriously when you refer to other people doing their jobs as 'ass monkeys'. Also, there may be fewer cashiers at your local grocer for a number of reasons you can't really understand as a consumer. you really sound like a loser and i hope you get in a car wreck with a young family.

Back when I worked retail, what would happen if you just gave someone a direction was that they wouldn't find what they were looking for and 5-10 minutes later they'd come back and be pissed, so what I had to do with customers like you was that I'd give the directions, then wait a minute, and then go find you and ask how it's going and nudge you the right way anyways. So for convenience sake I just show where shit is from the beginning.

Make a list and send a few people out. Do not go out like an insect colony and have people randomly grab shit and throw it in the carts. This is why your card is empty and your bills are shit. Little Tyrone there is just grabbing what he wants and chucking it in cart two out of three.

-Scum of the earth lazy degenerates who leave their carts in a parking space or on a median, and I've never worked at a grocery store. It's just infuriating how fucking lazy that is.

-Self-checkout as a growing replacement for most checkout aisles instead of just express lanes. Most people on average have proven they are too slow to make that work on a larger scale without creating major bottlenecks. In stores that have added more self-checkout kiosks, it's paradoxically becoming quicker on average to hop in line for the manned checkout despite there being less clerks and baggers.

-store literally moves aisles and shelves around and gets rid of the best parking spaces to cater to a shitty curbside grocery delivery service that's clearly not getting used because all the spaces are perpetually empty months after launching. Thanks for moving all your shit around in bizarre groupings where no one can find it on a whim, you stupid Kroger corperate fucks.

I think the store manager hates me.

I buy yogurt but I'm the type of person who checks all the expiration dates and only buys the yogurt with the farthest expiration dates possible.

The store manager must have realized this because he suddenly put the yogurt with the earliest expiration date in front while stuffing the yogurt with the farthest expiration date all the way in the back that it requires you to use your entire arm to reach for the yogurt you want in the back.

I don't understand why the store manager acts like this. I buy my yogurt in bulk once every 2 weeks and the manager wants me to buy yogurt that expires in like 1 week instead of 2 weeks later.

It's not like I only buy one yogurt at a time.

I usually buy 6 to 8 bottles.

The middle aged retards who still can't use their card correctly.
The soyboys/hippies/natural organic food woman and all that kind of people who always bitch about not bagging their cruelty-free tomatoes correctly.
People who argue about sales and out of stock item for ages. Go get a differed coupon at the customer service counter or fuck off.
Deli counter clerks who think it's ok to cut the meat so thin it just falls apart in pieces then blank out when I refuse to take it. Maybe ask me or show me a slice before you fuck up my entire order.
When they have some local school kids bagging up groceries to collect funds.

On a positive note, the one thing that always work great is when a bagger or stocker decides to help out with the checkout lines and opens another one. These guys are always fast as fuck and never have any problems. I wish they were the regular cashiers.

But nah, occasionally you get fucking dumbasses buying enough food to feed an army taking their sweet time at self-checkout, not understanding the fact that their incompetent, moronic selves aren’t trained to scan items as fast as the cashiers so they’re wasting both their own time and everyone else’s.

Worked prepared foods at Dean & Deluca. We gave out free samples there as a sales method and got the same rude old lady who’d occasionally come in 10 minutes before closing for her before-bed snack, which was several samples from my section without paying for anything. This is when we as employees were already beginning closing duties with the managers’ permission since they take 45 minutes to an hour to finish. She’d come up and ask me to unwrap everything, which I normally wouldn’t care about since the shop was still technically open and customer’s have the right to order food, except for the fact that her cunt ass always talked to me in the nastiest tone and every other time would flag down a manager to complain about me or other workers for the stupidest reasons. Thankfully all the managers recognized her and knew she was a cunt so they never took any action against us over her complaints, and some employees had the balls to straight up fuck with her because they knew any complaints she made wouldn’t affect them, but it still pissed me off that she had the nerve to try and get us to lose our jobs because we didn’t meet her ridiculous expectations for slaving over her free meal.

And no this isn’t a larp. The old white people in that wealthy neighborhood could be so fucking nasty it was almost impossible to hold your tongue, but she was by far the worst.

I've just started my 5th month working in a grocery store deli, and even though we are a lower density/ lower traffic location, it seems that 75% of the total amount of customers which walk through the entrance at the very least stop by to browse our display, or more likely to be waited on. There are times where I just feel so overwhelmed because I have a backlog of 3 customers who are staring me down as I rush to finish with the current customer without feeling pushy or disrespectful. There is a surprising amount of stress despite it being a repetitive, low skill job which can be done in air conditioning.
The few points your made about your time working in the deli resonated with me to a suspicious degree; for one, you mention working with older women, which I do as well. Out of the 4 female coworkers I have, 3 of them are over the age of 45, the oldest teetering on 60. The manager is a middle aged Jamaican woman, and she is exactly how you may imagine- very unpleasant, surveilling, quick to comment on what your doing wrong, awfully keen on trying to find something to snap at, just the type of person you can't be to sure around because of their bi-polar temperament.
Also, there is a resident " weird guy", but I assume he isn't there as proof of wasted potential, but because he may have mental issues and a severe lack of confidence.
More often than not, I find myself peering over to produce, which is across the pond to the deli counter, and I always take note of how loose the workers are, how comfortable they seem. I get envious, I'll confess. They don't have a bitch managers huffing over everything, they don't need to provide rapid fire customer service, they are allowed time to escape to the back of the store and go about work without interacting with people. All of them look so cheery and familial. I tell myself that I'm the one being built up with experience and a tolerance for pressure because I remain here, frustrated and longing.

People have this misconception that what they are pointing at is visible and exactly configured as they see it in the front display. We keep opened meats and cheeses in large ziploc bags, each product of each brand has a designated spot but the items within these spots are not uniform, so it requires some digging to find the right product. If you are in America I advise that you ask for your order weighed in pounds (lbs.), or if you already know what you are getting you can also make the process smoother and ask for the amount of slices you desire at your preferred thickness. Each item has a different density so it is a lot of guesswork and internal weighing from your hand alone to suppose how much you've already sliced. people assume the slicer has a built in scale, it does not.

>>12336546
my guy is probably in his early 40's, and he talks to himself quietly, maybe a habit he formed after so many years being left alone with his thoughts and duties to accompany him.

As for transferring, that is something I would like for myself, but it might be too soon, and also it would have to happen at the same location bc it is in walking distance of my residence. What keeps me from absolute dissatisfaction are the nice people you will meet on the job, the smiling faces and hope for the future, knowing you won't always be here, existing in this role, it is but a footnote in my development as a person. I dislike that I think like this though, I feel it paints over the wonderful coworkers and store employees I have the pleasure of being around, people who are full adults and working these jobs. I hope the best for everybody.

That’s the opposite of Home Depot, oftentimes people would remember they forgot something or relish in their work if you talked to them about it. It was always obvious when someone didn’t want you to talk to them so I would just get quiet after a couple questions.

I work in a grocery store that does these kinds of things and it's so retarded. You have to wonder at the mentality of people who want to order something online but pay more for it because it's been shipped to a brick and mortar store and been stocked on shelves. Most of the people who use it are lazy fucks who get tons of pre-packaged preserved shit that rots your gut. So it's not like they're worried about fresh produce being picked. It's literally things you can order on Amazon or other online grocery websites. But most of the people that use the online grocery shopping service are too old to even know there's alternatives.

Produce is definitely one of the best departments in the store to work in, and the customers are the least demanding there. Deli is fucking nightmarish, though we at least you can talk shit about management there without repercussions since that's why everyone is there anyway, so it was kinda chill in that way.

self-checkout is a godsend if you worked in retail for 5+ years
most cashiers can't bag properly or ring up items totally incorrectly
i won't correct them if they give me an item for free on accident though

baggers are a waste of time. i'd rather pay taxes for someone to have neetbux than to be a bagger. it's more likely that they eventually do something with themselves. NO ONE SHOULD BE A BAGGER. bag your own fucking groceries you lazy fucking faggot kike.

>Finding out the 12oz jar of mayonnaise is less per-unit cost than the 32-oz jar of mayonnaise
I think that's shitty too, but most places now list the per unit cost somewhere on the shelf label so it's the customer's fault if they still waste their money on an inferior deal

>why does every dozen have a broken egg
Because the she-cows will toss then about and open every single carton in order to “check” every egg then leaving the egg cooler a mess
