grocery store customer behavior in SA (license, ticket, clothes)

[johnts71]

On the south and west sides of town are far worse with lazy people not putting their baskets in one of those basket corrals. I have watched people just leave a basket and the basket corral is 10ft away...lazy is all I have to say.

I don't care what people wear to the grocery store just as long as I don't have to see any nastiness.

Yes im sure this will generate well what if she cant afford daycare, afterschool yada yada yada...chances are this stereo-typical mother qualifies for assistance and is probably already utilizing some form of daycare that she doesnt have to pay for. Save the excuses. Leave the brats at home. Try not to make a family affair out of a trip to the grocery store. The aisles at heb hardly allow one cart in one cart out let alone your one cart followed by its orbiting nuisances. Its really not necessary for all 5 kids to tag along and voice their grocery list request.

My other gripe is seriously wear something decent out in public. I dont care to see the massive amounts of hail damage that is splattered across your rear thighs. If you have more hail damage than a trailer in east texas chances are you shouldnt be wearing the booty shorts or spandex shorts you think look great on you. Pajamas and goofy house slippers should be worn at home not to the grocery store I get it you're 16 and you think its cute...to the rest of society you look like a lazy idiot. How hard is it to put on jeans and a t-shirt or some decent sweatpants.

Thank you that is all.

Completely agree with the 'feral children' in the shopping aisles. HEB and Walmart seem to be the worst for it. I don't much care for shopping at HEB, but Walmart does have wide enough aisles that you can sometime maneuver your cart inbetween the 'parentally challenged pylons'.

I, on the other hand, love it when I'm walking through the aisles to my destination aisle to get my item and I see a girl bending down to the lower shelf or bent over looking at something & I get a GREAT view of her.....assets, whether rear or frontal. Never fails to brighten my grocery store sojourn.

Problem is, in this day and age, they are usually overweight and the view is nothing short of...what the other poster said..nastiness.
In SA, if they are over 20, they probably have 3 kids too.

Hmmmm.....yes, there are many examples of these, as well, but there are still quite a few lookers out there. Nothing like a good whaletail on a gorgeous gal to grab your attention and perk up your day.

P.S. Your name is awesome, considering the subject matter.

I'm going to beg to differ on this because I happen to know Soviet lives over here in Stone Oak. My husband and I talk all the time about the posts here about everyone in SA being overweight. While I'm not questioning that it's a problem, I do find that there are alot of fit ladies over in my neck of the woods. Lifetime is hopping so if you'd like a better view you might wander out this way

I don't need the view (happily married here),it's the other poster.
Lots of fatties and in shape ladies in SO as well. Lived there for 4 years.

& here comes the other poster! Yes, Lifetime does have quite a few good-looking moms, but the carbon footprint was weighing down on me & I didn't like the monthly fees. Now I just lift at home & run in Stone Oak Park. The supply of fit hotties of all ages isn't as regular as Lifetime, but when I encounter one, its always a pleasant surprise. It's great to catch up to them & have a conversation. & if they have iPod headphones? Just run behind them & enjoy the show Great motivation!

- Some people hate those who rush through the stores like they were in a timed shopping spree, some hate those who take things easy and don't rush throught the stores
- Some hate people from other cultures who don't follow local conventions of courtesy. Other hate people from other cultures.
- Some people hate HEB, others hate Walmart, others hate Target

Bottom line: people hate other people. Hatred seems to be the sport of recent times.

I don't hate people...

I just dislike obnoxious behavior when it has a negative effect
on others... that seems to resonate with a lot of people given
the response to this topic.
