Things...Hahaha, that was quite an educational post! Things are slightly different in Europe, at least as far as the sample table is concerned. People taste casually, almost like they are not doing it, no lines or anything. But I can imagine a line for tasting half a nugget haha, that would fill me up with many negative thoughts!Kanelstrandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00656658673748250383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350897099326389300.post-39644140202706454932011-07-25T06:14:51.280-07:002011-07-25T06:14:51.280-07:00What aggravates me is when you're next in line...What aggravates me is when you're next in line and the person at the check out has either items that require a price check (because of some flub in the computer), their card refuses to scan, or there's some glitch with the register that requires the attention of a supervisor or manager and wastes an extra 20 minutes of your time spent waiting. And of course you can’t just go to another check out line as that’s what everybody behind you has already done !Almost Precioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349435936032378395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350897099326389300.post-82842549929793190082011-07-22T21:47:08.986-07:002011-07-22T21:47:08.986-07:00Too true!

Leaving carts to take up parking spaces and roll into other cars is just rude.Kristin Aquariannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10016163705498153247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350897099326389300.post-65134621731372994322011-07-22T21:02:27.634-07:002011-07-22T21:02:27.634-07:00I'm SO with you on the Costco samples... could...I'm SO with you on the Costco samples... could they place the carts to make more of a cart jam??? It's almost like they are doing it on purpose.<br />When my Brian was in the military I shopped on base and they had these little cart parking spaces for when you walked along the meat aisle... genius!Kim K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12340785398925878149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350897099326389300.post-87973093296070382342011-07-22T20:18:18.389-07:002011-07-22T20:18:18.389-07:00All of the above and I'll add one.

One time I was looking for canned pumpkin and after walking all over the store several times I found it on the JELLO AISLE! Now how could I have missed it? Doesn't everybody put canned pumpkin in their jello?<br />Lauradaydreamsdustbunnieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08137246857283093327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350897099326389300.post-45965705476079223012011-07-22T18:27:55.729-07:002011-07-22T18:27:55.729-07:00You've got some of mine as well.

Not very bright!<br /><br />Then there is the parking lot pet peeve. When you are driving through the parking lot why do people have to walk slowly at an angle in front of you instead of just crossing the aisle? I want to run them over!!!!Sheryl Hastingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05659194602776563150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350897099326389300.post-24835452608364602962011-07-22T14:38:37.992-07:002011-07-22T14:38:37.992-07:00I believe you've covered them all!

It's a big issue because we walk, so when they overload one bag and make it too heavy it's hard to carry the half mile or so back to our building. I usually try to jump in and bag myself, but sometimes they won't let me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00263044857099967566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350897099326389300.post-61463068951620203472011-07-22T09:24:36.151-07:002011-07-22T09:24:36.151-07:00Oh yes, the whole sample thing really creeps me ou...Oh yes, the whole sample thing really creeps me out.

I agree with all the things you have listed here, and I will add stocking shelves when the store is open. Isn't that what after-hours workers are for? Or, like 10 pm at least?Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727985096723353538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350897099326389300.post-33421796137237968282011-07-22T08:17:14.089-07:002011-07-22T08:17:14.089-07:00Hilarious!!!
