No. I've run into some rather attractive women while in the store, but never crossed my mind to approach. And I doubt that I ever would. It's just not my style.
I go to the grocery store to get what I need, pay for my stuff, and get out as quickly as possible. I'm going to assume most people of similar mindset. Trying to meet a lady is about the furthest thing from my mind.
That said, if I find myself stuck in a long, slow moving line I may have a quick chat with whomever happens to be directly behind or in front me.
A few months ago I found myself in this situation and had a cute, leggy blonde right behind me chatting me up out of the blue. That was the only time I ever considered asking out a woman at a grocery store.
Met? I often run into people I know at the grocery store. I often speak with strangers in the grocery store (which might possibly be a regional cultural thing).
But if you mean a hookup or date, the answer is no, and I really do not want some strange man trying to pick me up in the grocery store.
I meet older men or wheel chairy men occasionaly at the store. For some reason they like to talk to me or kinda hit on me. But never any guys I would be interested in dating.

Awww... It's probably just the area you are in.
My cousins live in CA and the relationship mentality I hear is lacking. Sadly none of them are married.
There seems to be A LOT of attractive men at the grocery. I often wonder if they are single or dating or married. I don't have the balls to approach and probably never will, just not my character.
I just wanted to see have people been successful in approaching women or men at the store. It seems awkward to just walk up to a random hottie thinking you got a chance. Lol
It sounds to me that you like to give men chances rather than render most guys invisible to you, and then resent why they do not approach you. I wish all women were like you as far as this attitude is concerned!

Bump his cart on purpose.
Smile.
Make sure you are headed down the same aisle each time so you keep passing each other.
Smile.
Just don't tell him what you're doing. What you're shopping for or if they can help you get something. Those are irritating and show you are needy.
A joke is always good.
"What aisle has the booze?" Lol!
May bumping the cart is OK, but to meet her in every aisle would not seem spontaneous.

That's me too. I have never assumed that women at a grocery store ready to meet or talk to men. Most people there are simply there as a part of getting some of their weekly tasks, so they probably have something else to do right after shopping.
I generally like to stand in the produce section and stroke a cucumber and look directly into the eyes of passing ladies. No dates yet though....
