The grocery store disgusts me sometimes...

My father-in-law, who immigrated from Mexico decades ago and whose spoken English is a bit limited, doesn’t like going to certain grocery stores in his area. He says they’re filled with “chusma.” It means “lowlife,”“rabble,” or “undesirables.” Strangely, it’s not a word used by many Spanish-speakers in this area.
The grocery store by me, which I like, wasn’t taking care of their shopping carts. Seriously. These things were disgustingly filthy. I told the manager that I was not only concerned about putting my food in them, I didn’t want to bring things which had been in them into my house. Seems Vons corporate didn’t want to pay to have them washed very often. At least not at that Vons. They got enough complaints and the carts have been clean. The inside of the store is just fine, very tidy, well-stocked, good employees, etc., and a great bakery.

Yall are funny. 
To everyone here who has read my comments:
I just want to apologize if I offended anybody by my previous comments about fat people in general. Sometimes when I type, I come across as brusk and rude. That was certainly not the case but after re-reading my comments I felt like I was being too brusk. I will not, however, apologize for having an opinion though. I will apologize to others for offending them BY the comments being made. I guess I'm just a sadistic ole bitter person who has nothing better to do with her time than to criticise others about their weight. Two contributing factors have affected me and made me this way: one, being threatnened in grade school and slammed against the lockers for no apparant reason and two: hanging around negativity for too many years-my parents. Also I am a Sagitarrius like I said before in my previous post and we have a tendency to come across as being rude to some degree. I never realized that sometimes I type out of spite and can anger alot of people on TBBS. I guess I made an ass out of myself by doing that.
As I said about the opinion, I will not apologize for having an opinion. I say what I mean, mean what I say and if you have a problem with it than you're just gonna have to have a problem with it. But sorry to all the posters out there who think of me as shallow. I can come across as being that way sometimes I'll admit! Hope they're no hard feelings with anybody here..guess I created somewhat of a storm that kinda fizzled out after I signed out earlier. Sometimes I don't realize that some of the things I type are inconsiderate as well. So...no hard feelings I hope?
With that said, we can now get back to the topic in this thread which originally was: people in grocery stores. ?

I'm pretty sure everyone has moved on to the originally intended topic...
I, on the other hand, still want an apology for "hayness."

I really hate it when I see people at the store in their pajamas.
Put some real clothes on, you fuckers.
All I hear is excuses, excuses, excuses in Voyager's comments after being confronted with such rude behavior. Unless you can get a doctor's note that says otherwise, you're responsible for your own behavior and you can't blame it on what others did to you or on pseudoscience like astrology. YOU decide how you will treat others. No one else decides that for you. Man or woman up and get over it.
(And if you don't like not being cut any slack, then maybe you should consider how that makes you feel, before you do the same to others.)

Maybe it's a new Bronyism for when a pony does something awful?

Maybe that's what they're hoping for, probably planning on doing it in Sporting Goods next to the Coleman gas lanterns.
Even Better:
If you really want to stop ringing up purchases ten or fifteen minutes before the hour post that as your closing time instead of the hour. Sometimes your customers want a small number of items, know exactly where they are displayed and can be ready to check out and leave within a few minutes (often less than five minutes).

I apologize for using that word. I'm not sure how to spell it though..? Anyway also need to research before hand too.
I hate to say it but I have been the uncessary pyjama person in the grocery store and have been guilty of it from time to time.
I also can't stand jerks in the parking lot screaming at the top of your lungs "go to hell!" That happened once at a Krogers for Dad and I. The dude couldn't drive to save his life and Dad, unwillingly, rolled down his window and politely said: "you know if you don't know how to drive you need to go on home" The man responded by saying: GO TO HELL at the top of his lungs. I don't know what was barking up his tree that day..apparantly something terribly wrong.

Don't worry. As Locutus stated in his infinite wisdom, the Bronies will love you for it.
(Though if you do want the correct spelling, it's "heinous").
Girls in pajamas do annoy me, but not for bad reasons. Well, okay, maybe for bad reasons, but not for bad, bad reasons. Wait, what I mean is that my reasons would be bad, not bad in the sense of "that's bad" (as in not good), but bad as in "badass" or "that's awesome". To be bad without being in a bad way, if bad was to mean something good, not something not good or bad bad. That kind of bad.
Wait, let me try again: I want to be bad to women in pajamas.
There.
Oh, parking lot etiquette is non-existent, no matter where you go!
Although I hate to generalize, I've learned the hard way not to go to the grocery store on whatever day(s) food stamps are disbursed. On the occasions where I've done that, I encountered some of the rudest, angriest people I've ever met in my life.
I get that being poor isn't fun, but that's no reason to ram my cart while you give me an "I wish you were fucking dead" glare.
Interesting, I'm in grocery stores a lot as part of my work, and I find that the people whom appear to have money are by far the most rude, as if they own the store.
Overweight people in stores...Yes, I feel sorry for them much of the time, but it shocks me how many of them there are, they can barely breathe and move through the store a decent pace. As a personal trainer as well, I have to think in my head what changes they can make, but there are a great deal of things they've done to get to that point on their own. I see a lot of "normal" or slightly chubby people whose carts are FILLED with processed food..literally saw a mother and daughter the other day with 90% of their food in boxes. I nearly fell over.

Especially the ones with the button-up backflaps.

It's likely they didn't have a lot of money to spend. I buy lots of boxed items because I can make it last over the course of a week, whereas with fresh food, it's a bit more difficult, especially if one doesn't have the cabinet or refrigerator space.
Oh, yeah. That's a given.
