Grocery Store rant

Oy.

The modern day decendant of the old village market is the Grocery Store. This used to be a small building with food. It had your basics. Bread, milk, fruit, coffee, meat and feminine products. Now they have evolved into these massive mega-lo-marts with everything from Starbucks to a Barber Shop to a bait counter. With this expanse comes more people and with more people come more people who are too stupid to live.

Let me give you some tips:

Staring at a product will NOT make the price change...especially when you are staring at it in the middle of the aisle blocking traffic. I am all for comparing prices but do it not to the detriment of others.

If your reason for using one of those electric scooters is because you are too fat...too bad...the walking will do you good. Hey, I am no one to use as an example of good health but at least I can walk through a store. The 90 year old who just had hip surgery will thank you.

If someone says "excuse me" acknowledge them. This morning, one lady was at the end of the aisle just standing there, another lady said "excuse me" and the first lady just looked at her like "duhhh...."

Also, its a grocery store aisle, not Turn 3 at Daytona, getting through the turn at the fastest possible speed is not neccessary.

Kids...now I love kids but if your little shaver acts up, its your responsibility to take care of it and that does not mean shoving a candy bar in their mouth. Because when you do that and then one day you don't, they are going to scream because they come to expect it.

Wait a minute....I don't have kids so I am not qualified or allowed to say anything about kids or parents!

Bullshit. When it affects me, you damn right I do. The discipline in this country has long been in the toilet and there is no better example then those dumbass parents who let their kids run wild in a store. That is wrong on so many levels. Forget for a moment the rudeness factor, that child could get hurt, hurt someone else or heaven forbid, molested or snatched. All because you wanted to see if they had Season 4 of the West Wing without junior asking for a toy.

Its real easy, say no. If that doesn't work, pop them in the butt and/or leave. Because I do not have to deal with your lousy offspring.

Remember folks, just because you can have kids, doesn't mean you have to.
