This morning at the 7-11 I had the pleasure of being stuck behind a guy that announced to the clerk, 'i'm gonna need three seperate bills' . As i'm rolling my eyes, i'm thinking, 'here we go again with this crap.' All this moron purchased was 3 packs of cigarettes, all different brands at slightly different prices. He needed three seperate bills for THAT? For f*cks sake, perhaps him and his buddy/girlfriend/wife/boyfriend/dog could have figured out the 15 cent difference of what each of them owes on their own. Nope, gotta have the receipts.
7-11 issues (again)

I was behind the old hag yesterday at the grocery store who decided to fill out her f#cking personal check AFTER she found out her total. She also felt compelled to write down her Driver's license number that she didn't know off hand and her social security number that required pulling out the little blue card!
GET A ****ING DEBIT CARD!!!!!!!!
GET A ****ING DEBIT CARD!!!!!!!!
just yesterday at the grocery store, some fat azz went for HER checkbook AFTER everything rang up and all my chit was on the conveyer. she couldn't find the damn thing and we had to wait for her to run to her car to look for it. felt like kicking her in the teeth when she came back all smiles and starting writing it. urgh! 
i seem to always get behind some idiot at WalMart that writes the total in their check register BEFORE they actually write out the check to pay. I never seem to pick the quickest line.
Ohhhhh, the grocery store. Yes, I had a 'good' one about a week ago.
So i'm in there with my little basket with the usual 3 or 4 items in it and I head for the so-called express line. Holy shit! Nobody is in line, this is unprecedented! I'm still a little ways from there, so I start walking briskly. A lady happens to beat me to the register , but she only has two containers of Tropicana(the brand becomes important later on) juice. No big deal. This is still the best line position i've been in in a while. I'm excited.
Then the problems start. The clerk scans the 2 items and the lady is not pleased with what the screen is saying she owes. It says that she owes 4 dollars. The lady insists that there is a special going on with Tropicana juice and that it's 2 for $3.
Clerk: I don't think these are on sale.
Lady: Yes they are. I saw it.
Clerk: You saw it in the paper or something? Is there a coupon?
Lady: No, I saw it here.
Clerk: Where?
Lady: On a sign.
Clerk: Well, I know that the Albertsons brand is on sale, but I don't think Tropicana is.
Lady: I know it said Tropicana.
Clerk (on the intercom): Assistance on aisle 6.
One of the store rovers appears and the clerk directs the rover to go look for a sign that says Tropicana is on sale.
Rover(to lady): Where in the store is the sign?
Lady: I don't know, I think it was by the juice.
Rover takes off on her mission. ANOTHER 5 minutes goes by and the rover comes back to let us know that she didn't see any Tropicana sign, only Albertsons.
Clerk(to lady): Do you want these, or do you want the Albertsons juice?
Lady: Just forget it. (she storms out of the store)
Now we have a prickly situation where this $4 sale is rung-up but not paid for.
Clerk(on intercom): Manager to aisle 6.
After a couple minutes, the manager shows up. Then it takes him a minute or two to find out what happened and another minute or two to void this transaction.
All said, it was approximately 15-20 minutes to get through this one person long 'express' line. There were only 2 'regular' aisles open and they were very full, so I couldn't switch lines. Shit like this happens all the time, especially at that hellhole Albertsons.

I don't understand some these idiots. In our neck of the woods the 7/11's are called Kwik Trip. And so many just dont get it. They stand there writing checks. If your going to do that fill most the dam thing out before you get in line. Or while standing in line.
Why they always wait till there at the counter.

Another recent Albertsons incident.
I pick-up one of those packages of cooked chicken from the deli. It contained 4 leg quarters. The kind that are already cooked and in the warmer in a clear plastic container.
Well, the clerk goes to scan it and when she lifts it up, the bottom falls out and one of the leg quarters and a whole lot of juice falls on the cash register. She collects the leg quarter, puts it back in the container and asks me, 'do you still want this'? WTF?

Shocking Headline!!!
"I had a good experience at the grocery..."
I was at a Publix the other day (unfortunately not one close to my house). Their express line was debit card only! This applied to the one manned express lane and all four check-out kiosks (greatest invention since the ATM). If that Publix was any closer, I would give them all of my family's business, but it is about 30 minutes away. I have a Kroger and a Publix less than 5 minutes away.

note to self---remember to never go food shopping with kosar (lol).
you guys are very patient.
if i see something going on in front of me that i think is ridiculous, i usually walk out of the store & leave my items on the conveyor belt.
that is why my wife goes shopping most of the time (lol).

Publix is the best. Whenever I have to get more than a few items, I always go there. It's just that Albertsons is less than a mile away from my house and on my way home from work, so I end up there wayyy more than I should for 'quick' trips.
Besides Publix actually being clean, organized and well-lit, they mostly have pleasant young ladies at the check-out while Albertsons clerks are mostly mean old hags that are either on drugs or are half retarded.
More Albertsons.
So Albertsons has this stupid little card that people carry on their keychains. They scan your card before they scan your groceries and it's supposed to save you 2 cents on a can of corn or something.
Every time I go there I have to go through the same exact interrogation.
Clerk: Do you have your Albertsons card with you?
Me: No.
Clerk: Do you have one at all?
Me: No.
Clerk: Do you want one (while simultaneously shoving the 'application' my way)?
Me: No, I don't want one.
Clerk: (Stunned silence)
If by chance I stop next door to the Albertsons liquor store, I get to go through it all over again with the pre-historic gentleman who always sneers when I say I don't want a f*cking card.
Anyways, this one time about a month ago i'm behind this lady who is trying to fake the bacon. Happens all the time.
Clerk(to the faker): Do you have your Albertsons card with you?
Faker: (rummaging through her purse) No, I can't find it.
Clerk: Oh, ok. Well, just give me your phone number. We can do it like that.
Faker: Ummmm, well, i'm from Chicago.
Clerk(confused): Oh. Well, ok.
So while the clerk is scanning the items, the faker starts some idle chit-chat and is babbling about how Jewel up in Chicago has the same sort of program.
As luck would have it, the manager was within earshot and he tells her, 'well, are you in the Jewel program, because we're associated with(owned by-I think) Jewell and their program works here'?
Faker: (getting excited) Yes! I'm in their program!
By this time, all of the fakers items(about 15) have been scanned and were being bagged.
Apparently, they can't do the 'program' retroactively, so they unbag everything, the manager voids the previous transaction, they put the items back on the conveyor, the faker gives her number in Chicago, it matches up, the clerk scans them again and after a measley 15 minutes or so, the faker is on her way.
I nearly strangled the f*cking clerk when her first words out her mouth to me were, 'Do you have your Albertsons card with you'?
Only at Albertsons.

lol- Winn-Dixie is horrible, but compared to Albertsons it's a wonderful treat to shop there. Luckily, there are hardly any Winn-Dixies over on this coast.

debit cards....
debit cards....
some deity had to come up with debit cards....one of the greatest things to ever come down the pike....
but,it`s hard to beleive that people carry NO cash.....that amazes me when people pay a $2 charge by writing a check or using a credit card.......
if it`s an elderly person,i tend to be more understanding...it`s these frickin` yuppies that grate my nerves....more than likely running credit card debt through the roof....
buffy,chip,todd and britney....they act like everybody exists to please them...

how about when the store is really busy (walmart) and this happens. Every line is 3 deep. U know it's going to take a while to get through and are resigned to that. Then, the 22 year old assistant manager Einstein comes through and closes 2 of the registers and says to the clerks, "It's time for your break". :moon: This therefore closes 2 more lines making the wait even longer. Doesn't it make more sense to give the clerk a break when the checkout lines are shorter?? Didn't they teach these stupid idiot assistant managers more than that at JUCO??
We don't have Albertson's or Publix. We have overpriced Kroger's, Houchens, and Winn Dixie and the cheap Savealot (too far from the house) and Walmart (visited by every jerk in the surrounding 5 counties). We do have a store called Aldi's that is very inexpensive, they just have different stuff when u go, and it takes me too long to find stuff.

or, how about this. A jerk like Kramer gets in front of you with about 20 bags of fruits and vegetables. Every one has to be individually weighed and coded in. Clerk then doesn't recognize the plantain and some other 2 foot long root looking thing and asks Kramer what it is. Kramer says, "I don't know". Runner then has to come over go over to produce and identify this frikkin' root. If you're going to buy a frikkin' root and plantain, at least know what it's called!
