Supermarket Inefficiency
Saturday September 27, 2008 @ 01:20 PM
Friends, I was checking out at the store the other day with a cart full of groceries.
My first thought was to use the "do it yourself" registers, but I realized I had too many groceries. Also, have you ever noticed the people who use those registers. They are morons. They get up to the register thinking that they are beating the lines...stop... and look at the register as if they are thinking "where's the cashier?" Usually this ends with the store employee standing to the front of this madness coming over and checking out the groceries. But that's another story.
I'm here to talk about using those standard lines with the cashiers. Have you ever noticed that the aisles are just big enough to push a cart through. My question is...Do you go first, or does the cart? I mean, if your cart goes first, then it is hard to reach in and retrieve your food. However, if you enter first, it is hard to bag your groceries. Your cart is always behind you. Then you have to go all the way to the end of the aisle to move your cart to the front again. Usually this results in banging with other people trying to leave the store. Let's not forget you then have to go back up the checkout aisle to pay for your groceries. In the meantime, groceries are flying down the end of the counter. Every beep from the register is one beep closer to the end of my store visit. How am I going to bag these? I can't find my wallet? I can't reach into my cart? That guy behind me looks pissed? Where am I? My suggestion is that a larger person should sue the grocery chains complaining they can't get through. The store chains will build bigger aisles, and I will be happy. Let's face facts, the checkout lines of the store need to be changed.
