They'll get OT, business loses money and you pay more for food. Congrats, you're on the same side as the nogs stealing without any benefit beside being lazy.

>won‘t somebody think of the poor business owners‘ profits!!1

>don't return the cart to the cart corral after I unload my groceries into the car

>>12637442
I just take the handbasket

>>12637414
In England a supermarket will warn you 15 minutes before closing, at closing time they'll make everyone head to the checkout desk immediately, otherwise they'll make you leave.

>fuck people who have more ambition than me. i should be paid to exist

>>12637414
>but 100+ bananas at Trader Joe's
>cashier has to count each one because they're sold by the each
I could spend less elsewhere, getting by the pound or box, but it's worth it.

>shame everyone there by filling my cart with healthy ingredients
>cashiers have to embarrass themselves asking me to identify a common vegetable, because it's obvious from a single glance at their sagging, wrinkled, pale, flabby skin they don't eat vegetables

>>12637414
>t. guy who has never tried going into a store a minute before closing
The entrance doors get locked 5 to 15 minutes before closing.

>>12637835
>every grocery store in the world is the same

>>12637904
Well, they are, because America is the only superpower, so the rest of the countries don't matter when talking about "the world"

>>12637795
Wait, they sell them individually like gas stations do?

>stores
>closing
I haven't seen this since the early 90's.

>decide I don’t want this ice cream anymore
>leave it on a shelf in the soup aisle

>>12637999
did you lick it before you left it?

>>12637986
yeah except they're like 20 cents instead of 2 dollars each

>>12637442
You better not be that cunt that leaves the cart sitting right in the middle of the parking space I'm trying to get into.

>>12637442
Fuck you

>>12637999
Then get outta the soup aisle!

>>12637971
While at the same time central european style grocery store chains like Aldi/Trader Joe slowly spread in the USA and bring their store policies with them.

>>12637766
Whomst are you quoting, mentally ill tranny?

>>12637442
When I shop somewhere with coin deposit carts, I return the cart and also leave my coin in it :-)

>>12637438

Ignore retarded posters

>have trouble finding something
>ask employee where it is
>it was right in front of me

>>12638382
I've done this at least a couple times.

>>12638382
>>12638397
This is why I generally take two laps around any store before asking someone. I've found a lot of things I thought I needed help locating this way.

>ITT things boomers do and think are some kind of achievement

>>12638518
>t.

>>12637999
>soup aisle
what

>>12638542
yep, that also is pretty much a boomer

>>12637438
This. Business owners are who give everyone jobs. The employees are lucky to have a job.

>>12638542
Maybe it's because I'm a cubicle slave, but the "wage cage" never ceases to amuse me. Maybe the cage is too big for me to realize I'm still trapped but I still laugh.

>I'm a fat piece of shit that learned from my fat piece of shit parents

>>12638382
don't worry fren, it's extremely common.
You almost found it all by yourself :3

>>12638564
Shut the fuck up, capitalist

>>12637442
>those carts that are just hanging out in the grass because someone was just courteous enough to think of other drivers but not courteous enough to think of the employees

Sure is a HUGE amount of water-brained cuckoldry in this thread

>>12638700
Good thing you posted something informative and valuable then, faggot.

>>12637414
The store I worked at would not let you in and the manager has to key the system to accept transactions after midnight.
Somehow one night some guy was still in the store beside the night crew and the night crew was pissed they had to ring them up

As a grocery store wageslave I find that people who do the shit in this thread maliciously are less aggravating than people who do it because they know better.

I can appreciate some devilish humor like shitting on the urinal for a meme but if some she-boom gets in the store 1 minute before the store closes, grabs a cart and starts reading nutritional facts, only to be surprised that the store is already closed half an hour later, makes my blood fucking boil

>>12637430
>and you pay more for food.
huh?

>>12637430
>and you pay more for food
>same side as the nogs stealing
huh?

>>12637430
Oh those poor owners!

If you are upset about loose carts, blame the cartboys for not doing their job.

>>12638688
>he doesnt believe in capitalism

How Orwellian. Classic Bongland

>more ambition than me

I want to strangle every single fat amerilard I see who is too lazy to take the 30 seconds to put the cart back and instead would rather leave it in the middle of the sidewalk and the roads.

>>12639268
Based

>>12638550
it’s the aisle where soup is you retard, I didn’t mean the entire aisle is soup. how did you make it this far in life without the ability of critical thinking?

>>12638089
That sounds like a RIP off.

>>12637504
whats it like having a job?

>>12637736
im an american and this happens

>>12638397
we all have

>>12638518
....do you really think making people work longer is some kind of normal past time?

>>12639098
How does that make sense? I'm just saying, if you purposefully inconvenience a business you're tying up resources that increases costs. If it costs a business more to run, they charge more. The merchandiser pays for the cost of goods, you pay whatever they decide to charge. They have to earn enough to keep stockholders happy. If anything, OP's behavior is on the same side as nogs stealing.

>>12641271
In america you can protest it without getting fined.

>always try to park as close to the cart return as possible so returning the cart is ez

>I just take the handbasket

>never learn where anything is at, just keep asking employees for everything. sometimes i make a qt walk around with me to find various things, essentially shopping with her and forcing her into awkward conversation
>pick out the most expensive brands of what I want to impress her
>when she leaves after a few items i realize i can't afford it and put things back in the wrong place. meat in the diapers, milk in the baked goods, etc
>come in near close so it interrupts their closing duties and they have to stay later to vacuum or clean things
>if they have the mop machine out i usually "accidentally" break a jar of sauce just to watch the jannie clean it up
>walk up to stockers and make them move the carts of boxes, look at the shelf for a minute while they stand there rolling their eyes, then walk away without taking anything. tell them thanks
>if I have time i'll shit on the floor in the bathroom because they've already been cleaned by that time and they usually won't find it till morning
>bring several bad coupons for things i didn't even buy, try to haggle with the cashier. some stores have gotten wise and will try to corral stray customers into the self-checkout, but i tell them i prefer to wait on a person to do it.
>ask that everything be double bagged, including bread/eggs
>i have already grabbed things i didn't want just so that i can wait until i'm at the register to say i don't want them. this way the cashier has to put them back before she can go home
>always demand they use their own discount card instead of mine
>split order up between cash and card, and 1/3 of the cash is in change
>stand there and carefully read my receipt, even if there's someone behind me in line
>park by the furthest cart corral in the parkinglot. when i take my buggy out i leave it on the other side of my car, so that the cart boy has to walk further than the farthest corral to get it. but it's close enough that he's wondering why i just didn't put it in the cart return.

>>12637414
You are what we politely call in the antipodes, a cunt.

>>12641453
>sometimes i make a qt walk around with me to find various things, essentially shopping with her and forcing her into awkward conversation

Okay? the fat cats will still receive their multi-million dollar bonus which will trickle down to the consumers over time.

>>12639096
Businesses raise prices to accommodate calculated losses.

>>12642264
And you'll pay more. Congrats, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

>>12642264
>trickle
Troll detected. Legitimate supporters of supply side investment do not use the term "trickle down," which was coined by its detractors.

>>12642465
*shops at a different supermarket*
oh boy, turns out that stores that overprice their goods will lose customers as a result

>>12642474
Every store deals with dumbasses and thieves, but if you go out of the way to screw over local businesses you're an honorary nog.

>>12642490
>local businesses
Agreed, but I don't feel any sympathy for nationwide supermarket chains who complain about increased theft and loss because of self serve checkouts. They can get absolutely fucked.

>>12639371
the worse kind are the mutts ride the electric carts and leave them in the middle of the parking lot
