OH NO!! I have to go grocery shopping.  

Well Good Luck..LOL
I Go through the same thing everytime I go Shopping so dont feel Bad. No Matter what line I get in something happens and I have to wait longer. I like to shop like say 6am in the morning or late at night right before they close anymore and it seems to be working out well for me. If you can do that I recomend it for sure.
Have a Great Day/Night.

I don't mind grocery shopping...but I do have a secret. I go really early or really late. People just make me so insane that I try my best to avoid them...plus, tere is something oddly poetic about the supermarket at really ood hours...it feels like a movie, or sitcom...or perhaps a Jayne's additcion video.
I live in an urban area so I do most of my shopping on foot, with my "little ol' Granny" cart. Since I've already got a cart, that is what I use for my shopping too...then I check out and just drag my little cart home. Granted this can get old sometimes, and that's when I employ the car. But going when there are less people helps keep me more sane.

ps- Leatherface came out amazing...amazingly creepy!!!!

Good luck! I wish I was able to do all of my grocery shopping late at night, because even though there is only one cashier who is bagging for his or herself, there are also only about 5 other people in the store, and they're generally very laid back and cool. :)

When I lived in the Midwest, the other good time to go grocery shopping was at about 9 or 10 a.m. on a Sunday morning. Most everyone was in church at that point, so you could have free run of the store. You had to be careful if you stayed much past 10:30, though, because the church-goers descended like locusts, with lousy personalities to boot.

Guard that freshly tattood arm with your life! It would smart very badly if someone were to hit it with a grocery cart, or a falling jar of mayonaise or such! Actually, should you end up in any blocked aisles, you could begin to cough violently and then exclaim loudly, "darn, I knew I shouldn't have taken that flight, I be that darned SOB gave me that TB." Surely they would waddle out of your way?!

Try shopping at our local Walmart in Pikeville,KY that is one of the top 4 $$$$ makers in the nation. Especially on the 1st and 15th of the month when the rural populace receives their welfare and/or disability checks. During this surge, there are only 4-6 cashiers since only 10% of the availble work force in the county can pass a drug test! We lead the world in the abuse of OXYCONTIN. These self-medicated shoppers then travel US23 which is our nation's leading fatality highway. Gee...I wonder why? I rather have a colonoscopy without anesthetic than go grocery shopping in Pikeville, Ky!

Well inked, I hope you are back from shopping and had a better experience.

Take an umbrella with your for the vegetable section...

wear pads on the back of your legs, have little spikes that stick out from the sides to give you room....

And a super go engine on hte cart to make a speedy dash to the checkout.

I understand how you feel I hate shopping too....it usually entails r kids with me.

So I can empathize with you.

Mooch

Man, oh man...it sounds like we have the same kind of shopping trips! The one time I remember the most was when "big tall dude" stole my coupons. Now, this wasn't a few coupons but a big stack of them....in a coupon holder thingy. I didn't see him take them but I did see him and his mom using them. It didn't register with me at the time because really, who steals coupons? I guess I just thought they had the same coupon holder! lol!! When I realized what had happened, I went to tell the management...but I was too late...they were gone. I see them ever once and awhile at some of our local stores...my husband gives them the ole stink eye! lol!!

Yes I wish you luck, its a dog eat dog out in those shopping centres, its crazy.

I try and avoid them like the plague but unfortuntely the shopping has to get done, just make sure that you armed for any battles especially those little old ladies.

I love grocery shopping, me and my husband shops every saturday and we don't shop in a supermarket or in a grocery mall because thats the place where most the people shops, and if you can go late night were most of the people inside there houses and watching tv or program....thats the great time to shop for me quite and not much people and no one going to hit your van or blocking your ways etc...but depends on which place you are aswell well Good Luck!.

I hate going grocery shopping as well. Like you it doesn't matter what time of day, a lot of people are there. Unlike you, my youngest daughter goes with me the most of the time, so it takes even longer to get in and out. One thing I found since my sinus's gave me a nasty cough, people will clear out really fast when you are hacking, lol. Don't know what I will do once the cough is gone. It's easier to park the cart and go get the item I need, and if someone is there, I will politely say excuse me and be on my way. I don't like being there, I don't like how long it takes me to get there, so I try my best to get in, out and back home as fast as I can.
