I’m convinced that certain grocery stores pump some kind of numbing or dumbing down gas thru the ventilation systems. This is the only explanation for these seemingly normal people that drove a motor vehicle to these stores then can’t manage a shopping cart. I chose to shop each day, for that days needs, so pretty much each day I go to the market. I have a choice of three large markets within 3 miles of my winter home, the best market is the most crowded but Its run like a fine watch and the least expensive by far so that is my first choice.
But timing is everything, as is the type of shoppers on that particular day. I have become a professional shopper and can tell at a glance how my shopping will go. In fact I can tell before even entering the store how it will go. I live in a border city one state has sales tax and one doesn’t. Shopping on the weekends is exposing yourself to what we call mass-holes ( gold star if you figure that term out) but other cautionary people come into play.
(People to avoid)
The blue hair brigade on the second Wednesday of each month when the SS checks come out.
The disability bus, yes they bus folks into this store, I get the fact all folks need to shop but damn.
Sunday shopping with hubby, this is when a wife drags her husband to the store to read labels on each product. Typically the cart is in the middle of the shopping aisle or the hubby stands their like a zombie not letting you pass.
Kid’s in tow, I typically give all Moms a pass with this, but that depends on how on the ball they are with keeping the little thigh thuggery terrors in check, If Dad has the kid’s your screwed, you're only option is to ram the kid with the cart and then have a F-U look on your face and get ready to rumble.

Never get in the line behind the blue hair brigade, never get in line behind a Mum with more than one child, never get in line behind a woman with a purse that looks like uncheckable carry-on luggage.
( Side Notes suggestions and other whining)
Never roll the dice, If you can avoid being behind a woman at the checkout do so. My study “peer reviewed” is that 80% of women will stand there dazed and confused and wait until the cashier totals up before the attempt of unpacking the suitcase of a purse. I have always found this curious, Its like a surprise that you need to pay. The same study showed that men swiped their debt card before the last item crossed the scanner.
The check writer, this is tough to gauge, years of training may not hint you of this person, all the normal tells will not inform. Lastly is the talker, this person that want’s to share their life story with the cashier or bagging person or you needs to be avoided.
Happy shopping…….
