(Ridge Heights council) Sandra Stone on grocery shopping: Since this is the Rages page let me go off on the store experience. After a few times in a store you pretty much know where things are, but getting to them isn't always easy when you have to get around the people who act like they're the only one in the store. They push their carts like they were pushing a f$%^ING two ton car, and they won't get out of the way. Could care less. Then they stop and park the cart so that you can't get around it." Oh, I'm sorry," they say. Sure you are! When you get to the item you want someone is blocking your access to it. They have one of the items in their hand and they're staring at it, and they keep staring at it. Come on! Do something! Put it down or take it! It's not going to change no matter how long you stare at it. Same weight, same price, same thing. Get out of the f$%^ING way! After you struggle to get your items, then it's time for check-out and another wonderful experience. Why do you ask me how I'm doing or if I found everything? Do you even care? Why are you trying to make me talk? I don't want to talk; I want to get out of here.! This doesn't need to be an event for me! I've been standing here watching people talk to you, breaking your attention to move the line faster. Nothing better to do? Then, after the talking it comes time for payment, but sometimes payment hasn't been prepared. Once an amount is stated, then starts all the searching and digging for some form of payment. Don't you even know where your f$%^ING money is? "Why do you wait to hear the amount before getting payment ready," I asked once? "I don't know how much it's going to be," they said. "It's not going to be free, is it," I said? You'll need a little more patience to leave because you can't get around the two people walking side-by-side, moving as if nothing in their cart will ever spoil or thaw. Two more that care less with nothing else better to do. It's my store experience1
