Next time someone threatens to have your job, tell them you'd be glad to let them have it--see how they like dealing with idiots just like them all day! :twisted:

When i did ROP at Knott's, there were SG that would come into the General Store and wanted to do my job. I told them I am in high school and getting credits. I told them working in the candy section does not mean that you can eat all the candy you want.

I see these SG parents walking around feeding their kids junk food. I came from a large family and if we wanted some candy, my dad would buy a bag of broken up lollipops. It was good. Now that there is cotton candy, churros, soft drinks, candy and ice cream. I sure can't eat that stuff anymore. I will get sick if I do. :(

One more thing. When it comes to going food shopping, why do the stupid shoppers hog the isle and push their shopping carts if they were on a freeway? I have to look both directions before I move. The worst isle to be is the frozen food isle. People need to park their carts in a fashion that does not cause you to clip their cart and see a coke fall in the cart. :mad:

I am thrilled to know I'm not the only person seriously annoyed by rude shopping cart pushers. I actually brought it up when I was in psychotherapy! :hysteria:

Hey, Zazu, how 'bout a smilie on a psychiatrist's couch?!!!!

On the stupid board x, parents often complain about the 'Healthy' Kids menus at Disney. Quoting, "There is only so much carrot sticks and grapes my child will eat". But then go on about how they live off chicken fingers, PB&J, and French fries.

Please put the barrier down when you are done putting items on the counter at the check out stand.

STOP hitting me in the heels as I cannot move up the line.

Please do not touch me if I am on my knees, bent over or squatting as I do tip over.

I HATE aisle hogs and worst of all is parents who let kids play with shopping cars.

I see nothing wrong with saving spaces. Please do not park on my purse as I have had people step on food and sit on purses.

Can someone explain how come it takes 3 to 5 times as much work to clean one coffee cup compared to silverware and plates. It is caked on and needs scouring to get clean after one use.

A quick butt thrust to the front of their cart will usually stop that.

I developed a habit of pulling my cart by the front instead of pushing it when I used to work retail. Employees at that store were required to pull carts while re-shopping things, to ensure they never hit a customer with the cart. It's actually not all that awkward, aside from the danger in taking a corner to sharp and clipping a display... and just as promised, it dos ensure you never hit anyone in the ankles with the cart.

Yeah, I just love the ones who say "My kid will ONLY eat chicken fingers" or whatever. When I was a kid, if I had pulled that crap my mother would have slapped me in a head a few times and told me to starve. Granted she was rather harsh, but I think there are appropriate ways of guiding a kid's eating habits. And I suppose I have Mommie Dearest to thank for the fact that I'm a very adventurous eater.
