Why do grocery stores do this? They must waste huge quantities of food.

>Why do grocery stores do this?
A lot of bigger stores don't look at total profit as much as profit margins. Often it works out to be better to completely write something off than to make less than 100/200/300 percent profit on it, depending on product.

Remember the guy deciding prices makes no more money if they sell better. Their only incentive is to not piss off the people above them.

A question by a customer to the employees.

I'm one of those people who can't grab the item that is right on the aisle, but always takes the one behind or under that item.

Do you know about that phenomenon, is there a name for it and what is your attitude towards people like that?

Sure you can, you just choose not to.

Of course.

>> is there a name for it
silly? OCD? fucked in the head? take your pick.

>>and what is your attitude towards people like that?
You have a mental issue. Then again, so do a great many customers. Nobody really cares though. The behavior makes no sense, but it doesn't cause problems for the staff so we really don't care. There are plenty of customers whose silly habits cause problems for the store. Yours does not so we pretty much ignore you.

I went to a ball game and the guy next to me was standing up and leaning over the edge and an employee asked him to sit down and he argued with her for 5 minutes over it. Then when he finally sat down because she picked up her walkie talkie, she walks away and he stands up and stretches and shit. Then he turns to the guy who he went to the game with and complains about it for the rest of the game: "I can stand up when I goddamn wanna"

If you do get a reusable bag please get one with the little loops so the cashier can hang it and not have to balance everything while keeping your bag open.

I did this for Costco. Anything heavy or bulky was kept in the cart with the facing up so they could scan everything quickly, and small things went on the belt. Was eventually told that local management made a new decree, and that things under 30lbs couldn't stay in the cart and had to go on the belt to be scanned.

I guess it was to reduce theft, but it was still a pain for me, and a pain for those at the register.

I was grocery shopping last week and had a cart filled to the brim, couldn't start unloading it because the fat negress in front of me put THREE giant fucking pumpkins on the belt.
A) one is enough, cashier can modify the amount
B)completely unessecary to begin with because pumpkins are produce and use PLU codes, they don't need to be scanned.

I see other stores list items as being "buy X, save Y," but still giving you the sale price per item even if you don't buy in the listed quantity. Kroger used to do this much more often, in fact. Recently, however, Kroger has been moving towards a much more rigid "all or none" sale pricing when putting multiple items on sale.

Also, I checked the sale tag first. It's not like I rolled up to the checkout without thinkjng first and threw a fit over it like some middle aged soccer mom.

When I worked retail there was nothing I hated more than all the sad fucking weirdos that only came into the shop to talk to the employees. I don't know if we were in a hellmouth area or whatever, but we honest to god had some people who came into the store 5-7 times a day, bought a single thing and went around trying to start up a conversation with the employees everytime. Generally they were weirdos and old people with literally nothing to do all day, or lonely 40+ men who probably were incel. It became so bad I actively avoided them and made detours, using the roof mirrors to avoid detection. Some of them would slow-play their shopping tour so they were alone in the store with the cashier when the store closed and would drag that shit out for 10 minutes, while the cashier was extremely uncomfortable with this drooling 60 year old making lewd puns and bagging their own shit in ultrarapid.

When I'm shopping I mostly get annoyed by other customers who should by now know how a fucking store operates and how to pay for your shit. Why do you act like it's a fucking surprise that you have to pay for your food? Have that wallet up and ready already, don't rummage through your oversized handbag when there's 8 people waiting behind you. Keep your shit together, stop using checks and for the love of god have some fucking money on your card. How retarded can you be to go shopping without any money? Also people who leave their stuff on the conveyor belt to go find something else should be shot on sight.

To salvage whatever price they can out of an item they soon have to throw out otherwise due to legal code-dating. You get notified and even audited if you leave food out for purchase that is past it's expiration date, and corporate retail buyers are paid to keep track of that. They're trying to get rid of inventory before they literally have to throw it in a dumpster.

The amount of people that steal or try to scam is fucking staggering.
If it won't scan and it doesn't have a upc I just tell the customer I can't sell it to them. If they insist I call in a csm for a price check but the ones at my store are so busy that the customer usually gives up and doesn't get the item.
It's fun to see them claim a price and when the csm does go to check they hurry and pay and walk out so that they don't have to explain their tag swapping bullshit.

We know every regular and suspected thief in our store.
They might not've had enough evidence to get you or maybe they didn't give a shit

I work at publix, and ever since the last living relative of the original owner was forced off the board of directors for being "unfit for duty", they've been doing their best to fuck over the employees and give themselves raises.
This includes getting rid of employee bonuses, which tied into the store's quarterly profits.
Now that we have no incentive to prevent theft, we literally don't get paid enough to give a shit, and we have no reason to give a shit.
As long as you're not a stupid prick or some low life crackhead piece of shit trying to steal $300 worth of king crab legs I don't give a shit. I still think thieves are pieces of shit but it's not worth getting stabbed over.

I work in the Meat Department. Lunch Meats and Cheeses/LMC is a subdepartment of ours. It's where all the bagged cheeses, oscar mayer lunch meats, bacon (etc) are. I also happen to work at a very high-movement store in a resort city (in the top 5 of the entire chain during the height of season) so we have a LOT of out-of-state people.

The first department one passes through on the typical counter-clockwise path through the store is the Deli. Of course, Publix is known for stocking only Boar's Head meats. So, of course we have a bunch of pre-packaged boar's head meats and cheeses in cold bunkers in the deli. A lot of the tourists don't understand how it works, so they assume these are the ONLY lunch meats/cheeses we carry. Obviously they're a fair spot more expensive than the hillshire farm shit they're used to.

Then, against the back speedway is LMC where the stuff they're actually looking for is. Every couple of hours we load up an entire flattop worth (roughly 30 packages) of custom-cut deli meat/cheese and pre-packaged boar's head stuff to cart back to the Deli because these stupid jackasses shoved the deli meats they didn't want anymore way in the back behind all of the other products like we wouldn't find it and like it'd hide their greedy shame.

The worst part is when they ask for a plastic bag (i work in a small local shop) after having handed you money that their filthy fingers have touched, and then tell you that you need to lick your fingers to split the bag easier when your hands are so dry they lost all their grip.

I just end up getting them to do it and if they refuse I gladly spend a good minute just fucking with the bag while looking at them.

Depends honestly. Every clerk knows basic shit like heavy stuff on the bottom, so they really shouldn't be telling you how to bag unless you manage to fuck it up royally.

If someone wants me to play tetris with their shit I'll gladly comply and waste their time asking for specific bagging instructions though.

If they just wanna bag it themselves that's fine by me, I prefer it that way actually. Means if it splits it's their own fault.

From the POV of the cashier it's likely you looked like you dropped something and decided instead of picking it back up or cleaning it up, you just decided to get a new one and not give a fuck.

yes they're fucking annoying. they come up as a "do you want to donate to (red cross|charity|cancer research|hurricane relief)" prompt, before you pay, but always after you enter a rewards card number (typically a phone number or connected to one), so it makes me worry they can track the fact that i don't donate. after that the buttons always say:

[$1][$5][$10]
[$20][Other...] [GIANT ASSHOLE _RED_ "NO THANKS" BUTTON]

they try to guilt trip you hard especially when i was buying something like a day after hurricane harvey rekt the fuck out of the south. i vocalized how i felt and the cashier was all like 'don't even worry about it those people skim a fuckton of that donation money off the top anyway' and i felt slightly better.

this and finding damaged/open goods or refrigerated items in the wrong section are my only complaints. not cool.

i lay my stufff in my cart ..and then belt in order so it will line up nicely on my reciept and all the things i want together will hopefully end up in the same bag
...most the time the cashier doesnt give a fuck and just jumbles everything

and i always watch the price screen when the cashier is totalling up everything for me. whcih of course means i am not at that moment paying the creditcard machine or pulling out my ID but becuase of this, many times i have saved myself from buying expensive stuff i misread the pricing on.

-those reusable bags are surprisingly annoying to bag, the top of the bag always flops inward
-I hate when people are really peculiar about how they what their groceries bagged. Yes I understand you don’t want the chemical cleaner with your food. But if you’re the kind of person who wants separate bags for every kind of food item, that is weird.
-hate when people ask for paper and plastic . Wasteful and our plastic bags are extremely resilient in their own
-when customers pay with a check. What the fuck are you doing. And then they have the fucking audacity to complain when it takes long
-people who “forget” that items were on the bottom of their cart
-people who eat their food before paying for it. I understand a lot of people think this is normal but I find it gross and scummy. It is technically not yours until you pay for it. You seriously can’t wait until you buy it to start eating?
-people who argue with you about coupons not working. Customers are virtually always in the wrong, somehow they think they are more right than the system. Our manager will usually tell us to give them the discount anyway and I understand the businesss sense behind that but I still hate doing it
-hearing the same jokes over and over. Like when my lane is open “oh looks like you were waiting for me!” I heard this dozens of times almost every day
-people who leave their kids in the cart when I put the bags in, so I have to awkwardly place bags around the kid.

I walked into a Dollar General about an hour ago to get some last minute candy just in case little shits knock on my door. The lady in front of me was handing the cashier ziplock bags of coins. Maybe they were each a dollar? I couldn't really tell, but she walked off before the guy was done counting. He looked stressed and just sat the bags down. "Hello, how are you..."
>I'm fine, you?
"You know how it is..."
>Yep... I do. Have a good one man.
Awkward but I hope his Halloween improves.

Pushing carts was my favorite thing to do when I was a bagboy at 23. It got me away from my coworkers, supervisor and most importantly all the customers. Anxiety sucks. One night I was working late and my mom came in for something, she stole a fucking cart for at home. I still don't know why exactly, but it definitely gets used.

As a bagger, I hate it when a cashier scans items ridiculously fast with no particular order, and thinks they are impressing anyone. All they end up doing is smashing the customers groceries. There is a pace that most good cashiers go at where the bagger and themselves can work harmoniously and efficiently.

Well, it's not grocery stores, but I used to work at a Tim Horton's and we'd get people who would reach behind the counter for shit all the time. We even had one guy would would grab a cup from the double cup stacks, reach behind the counter, turn on our taps and get water for himself but no one said anything because he was an every day regular who would come in multiple times. Fuck you, I don't want your dirty ass hands touching where I wash my hands and get other customers water.

Not necessarily a grocery peeve, but a peeve in general, I just can't be bothered to make a new thread.

FUCK YOU, THIS IS BULLSHIT!
Ah, my mistake, ma'am. I'll sit the register down and nicely have a chat with it about how your personal experiences as a strong empowered woman are far more important than state and federal laws and can it please stop popping up that "EBT cannot be used as tender for restricted products" thing and just process that transaction? After all, computers tend to react positively to conversations, and I don't care at all if I lose my job or get a criminal charge so you can continue to starve your kid and spend all of my tax money on carbonated sugarwater and cancer sticks instead. Oh, I am so sorry I couldn't oblige you. Don't trip and split your dumb fucking head open on your lumbering way out, that would be a loss to all mankind.

If it's a chain, it's that most/all markdowns are handed down from regional or district based on overall regional or district sales, since they all have the same expiration date. It is even dumber than it intuitively seems. If you want to know of something even dumber than that, look up "just-in-time shipping" and really, really think about it.

>Worked at a Toys R Us over winter break first year of college
>Some toy, I think a nerf gun, had the price clearly indicated beneath the item on the shelf
>Some woman comes up with a random price sticker on it that was clearly below. Might have been put there by her on some other item, might have fallen on there or got on there by accident
>Gets incredibly pissy and starts yelling at the top of her lungs when I ring it up at the correct price via bar code, saying things like we can't advertise a lower price when it was some unknown sticker
The idiocy and arrogance of people is astounding.
