The Stores are way too crowded

I had to go get a few groceries last night, and even THAT store was beyond crowded. People were constantly bumping each other with shopping carts. Normally I do my utmost best to not be shopping during this time of year, specifically because of all the people and the fact that most of them are incredibly grouchy.

I guess it depends if we need it or not if we can get by with what we have I won't bother going again if we need it though we will go anyway doesn't matter it's full or not hubby never complains about going to grocery store so there is no convenience problem there

I can't stay on my feet for too long, so crowded stores would definitely keep my husband and I from shopping. there are a few restaurants around our apartment, and a nice coffee shop up the street, so nothing will keep us from eating, just shopping. We did our shopping for Christmas yesterday, and the stores weren't that bad.

You know........... there is SUPPOSED to be this global recession and I understand that people around the US are hurting... especially in areas like Detroit and other devistated regions (New Orleans etc...) but I tell you what... I went into Wal-Mart to pick up some medicine and some needed items for the Christmas party (if you wish to call it a party) that we are having and I could not even find a parking space. It was PACKED. It was literally worse than Black Friday! I could not believe it. And the amount of stuff that was being bought... the only thing I could think of was please God tell me this is not going on credit cards that is going to make this 'recession' even worse. And it wasn't just there... Best Buy was so crowded I didn't even browse around. I just got what I needed and got out of there. Is this a good sign or a bad one... I really don't know. Thanks Zelo

i really hate shopping when it is this close to christmas! one of my co-workers has to do almost all of her shopping today! did you see zellers flyer for boxing day? it has some really great deals! dvds for $2.99! imagine what the crowds will be like then! YIPES Merry Christmas

I think I would probably skip the grocery shopping if it were to inconvenience someone else. Long lines and crowds are a nuisance but if I really needed stuff and couldn't wait, I would brave the inconveniences, grin and bear it. We were at the malls yesterday and it really wasn't as busy or as crowded as I had expected. The parking lots were packed though -- as if ever single person drove themselves in separate cars.

I don't have a thing for crowded areas persé, they get annoying when people are stressed out and in a hurry because there will be shoving and irritated noises all around you. If everyone were jolly it wouldn't be that bad (like with a friendly football game or a festivity). Unfortunatly close to the holidays people doing groceries tend to forget their holiday spirit and get frustrated and angry over little things. I got my groceries early aswell to avoid the problem.

rally like to go when stores or not to crouded but If I have to I hae too. SOme times early morning is best to beat the crouds

I hate shopping when stores are crowded. I would rather wait and go late at night or something when they are less crowded.

If I go to a big grocery store and it is crowded I will just walk out and not shop there. I don't like to shop when the store is so full you have to wait in line for an hour to pay for your groceries. I know most of the cashiers are doing the best they can but some of them aren't really trying all that hard. I worked as a cashier in a Sobies store and I know some of the kids that worked there were not driven and were very slow. So I will leave the store and go to a corner store if there is something I really need, even though it cost a little more. Like if I need milk or bread or butter. Something small. Alrighty then, talk to you later my friend, Have a good mylotting day, Chris

Around this time of the year, stores are often crowded. I'm not a huge fan of them. I already don't like shopping, but when the stores are crowded, I hate it even more. I really can't stand it, as it makes moving around extremely difficult, which makes things that much more difficult to find what you want. It's really not fun at all. I think that this is the worse time of the year to shop.
