Anyone else hate grocery shopping? I HATE IT!!! I had to go to the grocery store this afternoon because I had no food left in my dorm room. It was very crowded, and of course, you have the people who leave their cart right in the middle of the aisle. Also, out of 15 registers, they only had three lines open and there were a lot of people waiting to check out. Meanwhile, several cashiers were standing around not doing anything. AARRGGHH!!! I only go grocery shopping when I absolutely have to. I try to get my parents to shop for me.

<sigh!> Sometimes, I don't know what's worse: working in a grocery store, or shopping in one.

I love grocery shopping! I'll do yours if you want. :D I live right by a Farmer Jack and I go there all the time but I always wind up spending too much money there.

I don't mind it. I love to spend money. :D

I don't like grocery shopping either, especially waiting in long lines.

I work in a grocery store, so I really hate it now. Before it wasn't that bad.

I know! I don't understand why they have 12+ registers when they only seem to use 3 or 4 at a time.

I really hate those self-checkouts too! They're annoying as hell and they always mess up.. and then the person who they hired just sits there and watches while we do all the work! Those lazy bastards!! lol :lol:

I always make the mistake of shopping when I'm hungry.

I am a cashier at a store. At my store, it's much worse though. After my friend leaves usually at 6, I'm the only cashier until 8 & there's four registers & mine is the only one open. Customers bitch about it but I go as fast as I can & there's always a line, but the owners won't hire anybody else! :mad: Just this evening, people were complaining but they're just gonna have to get used to it & realize by now that there's just one cashier until the store closes. Back to the orginal subject-I don't like grocery shopping. I don't like shopping at where I work. Foodland doesn't have anything I want to eat! The only time I shop is for mom & I never can find the right thing :confused:

It has it's days. I hate it the day before Thanksgiving or Christmas. Millers, Price Chopper, Hannaford, they're all mad houses. Same or worse if you go before a big blizzard hits.

Other times it's not bad.

The store I shop at when I'm at college is a Price Chopper. I used to love shopping there, but customer service has really taken a nosedive.

The store I work at is a little better. It's in a small town, so it doesn't get as many customers. Also, the management knows how to keep a few lines open.

Ugh I hate it so much! Its cuz my mama spends like 3 hours in there every time! I hate it with a passion.

I love love LOVE grocery shopping!! I do the shopping for me and my parents and I use coupons-- I am a Coupon Queen.:D I only go once a month, spend about $200 and usually save around $60-70 with my coupons and my rewards card. My mom used to go every week and spend more than $100. Ugh- she should thank me for saving her so much $$$!

I could spend all day in a grocery store if I could. :lol: Thank God for 24 hour Farmer Jack's.

I like grocery shopping, except I go with my mom and she won't let me buy actual food. Everything we eat is low fat, no fat, no cholesterol. I hate that crap. If I did the shopping, we'd live on chocolate, frozen pizza and grilled cheese.

I don't mind it at all. Except of course for holidays. That stinks!

I love it....except when people aggrevate me, then I don't...

I work at a grocery store(Kroger), I'm a bagger and I'm gettin to the point where I hate it...I work 8 hour days(on the weekends) and I ask "Paper or Plastic?" about 1,000 times a day. In about 6 months to a year I'm gonna move up to checker. Just as much as you guys hate buyin groceries, I hate baggin em more.

I don't mind grocery shopping. I just hate the crowds.

I feel your pain! Only I work at Albertson's, not Kroger and I won't be moving up to a checker any time soon. :(

OH GOSH I LOVE IT I go to Fred Meyers the variety they have there I seriously get lost

It's a necessary evil I guess. Some days, I'm really in the mood for it. I don't mind the actual shopping. It's fun picking out fruits and veggies, and trying new items.
It's the waiting that I hate. The deli is a joke. You can celebrate a birthday waiting for your turn there.
I hate when the aisles are crowded, and when there aren't enough checkout lanes open. I've finished off an Enquirer while waiting my turn.
I guess if I was the only person in the store shopping, I'd love it, but that's not going to happen anytime soon.
One of the main grocery stores, Stop & Shop, has online shopping. It's called Peapod. I use it sometimes, but it's expensive. The prices are higher, there's a delivery fee, plus tip, but I treat myself every couple of months.

I love to grocery shopp its' alot of fun i like to go to Price Chopper and do my stuff... :lol:
