Or, maybe they should be the spoken rules of the grocery store. Displayed for all to see because some people might benefit from these.
For the love of all things holy, do not stop in the middle of the aisle to chit-chat.
Yes, Karen. I’m talking at you! Please do not stop in the middle of the aisle to talk to your friend, neighbor, preacher’s wife, etc. Pull over to the side, or just wave and talk to them at a more appropriate time. Don’t block traffic and inconvenience the entire store for your social hour.
Return your cart.
Don’t be a lazy jerk. Return your damn cart. Yeah, I’m looking at you, Chad! Seriously. How hard is it to return your cart? Walk the extra few steps to the cart return.
Personal space.
Mind people’s personal space while shopping and while checking out. Don’t be all up in people’s personal space. This includes while someone is paying. You don’t need to be all up in their business while they’re trying to check out.
Put things back where they belong.
Don’t be that guy that decides they don’t want something and places it on some random shelf. Take it back where you go it. Especially if it is was from a refrigerated area.
Now let’s talk about children. This is a sensitive subject. I am a parent. I know what it is like to shop with children. That being said, I also know what it is like to be a respectful shopper.
Don’t let your children run around the store.
The store is not your personal babysitter/playground. Watch your damn kids. Don’t be a lazy parent.
Got anything to add?
