Food Shopping Frenzy!

Yesterday after work I decided to do food shopping to just get it out the way and it turned out to be chaotic. I was already drained from work so my patience was low and everyone in the super market seemed to be in a hurry rushing around in their shopping carts bumping in to each other. I was able to get everything I needed for a whopping $122 dollars and right as I'm at the register to pay, a fight breakouts between two employees. Something must of been in the air, I paid and get the hell up out of there asap.
I was relieved to be home after that whole ordeal.

Like a real physical fight? I know some people who are going to be looking for jobs.

That was one hell of an adventure for grocery shopping.
I would have been relieved to finish everything fast in that situation.

Wow! The two employees could have taken the fight outside... I'm glad they didn't involve you in their problems!
When I take Pretty shopping, if I'm already tired, I let her go in by herself and give her my wallet with all our cards in it and any money I'm carrying, just in case. Then I read until she knocks on the trunk of the car for me to pop it open so she can load everything inside.
Most of the time now, if I can't see to drive, we order everything we want and my brother either picks Pretty up and takes her shopping or he picks up everything at the curb at the local Walmart and brings it to us. We unload his car, thank him and I give him money for gas.

What's with them? Why do they bump with their carts? We seldom have that here in the Philippines no matter how tired we are. Or maybe they are really tired too, but shopping here in Manila is a stress reliever, lol! We mostly do our grocery with family.

What a crazy experience at the supermarket. I don't blame you for getting out of there real quick. People are crazy these days.

@BACONSTRIPSXXX I think there's something in the air. No one has any patience anymore but yes, the rising cost of groceries is really hard to deal with these days.

Seems like they have some internal issue, the cashier just asked her for a manager key to override something and the customer care lady literally threw a bunch of keys right at her face

i once witnessed a verbal fight, not a big one but still in a super market between two male employees. it was around fruit section and, as you said it, it's best to run away from them. i jsut wonder how come they weren't humiliated to do that in front of the customers. you bought some good stuff

Shopping can be really stressful some days. I would have got the hell out if a fight broke out.

Wow! That's crazy. It's been said that Jupiter was in retrograde or whatever. So it's been kinda hectic and chaotic everywhere. I haven't been sleeping well because my brain just hasnt been able to shut down at all right now. Hopefully with the planets changing to a much calmer term things will mellow out in the Universe. Smh. lol
