Meltdown in Trader Joe’s - Gary Gulman

[@jeffryphillipsburns]

@@user82938 I was amazed the first time someone cut in front of me in the grocery store. I was in my early thirties and had just recently moved to Madison, Wisconsin. It had never happened to me in St. Louis, Missouri where I grew up, in Rockford, Illinois, or in Dekalb, Illinois. In Rockord people stop at green lights. In Chicago people go through red lights. In Madison, they do both.

[@geraldbrienza4474]

I’ve been in this situation. What I do while she’s gone is take a few things out of her cart that I like and put them in mine. I also add a couple of items from the side racks into her cart. I make small talk while she’s getting ringed up to keep her from noticing. Works great and I leave with a big smile. 😊

[@fractalspace1111]

What makes it even more humorous is this is the psychotic behavior that goes through peoples head until rationality kicks in. I would have a really hard time keeping my mouth shut too though if I am being honest.

[@joe-ksterrr4421]

I won a small victory today at the DMV. Similar shananigans. Been waiting there for 2 hours for them to call my number G136, they were currently at G126, figured I had some time so I went to the bathroom. Came back and they had called my number 3 times! So I went over, G137 ticket was there so I politely waited and took a seat near by. Older lady goes over and starts standing behind them. I was a little upset cuz I had been waiting so long, and politely said, "excuse me mam I'm G136 I was just in the bathroom." She goes, "oh you don't have to wait in line for this one." And turned around. I sat back down. Stewing in my own head about it. The couple finished and began to walk away, her back was turned, so I got up, went to the desk and said " hey sorry u called my number 3 times I was in the restroom my apologies." And we started our business. In a pause moment I looked at the old lady and gave the old lady a look that pretty much said, "That's why they give people numbers bitch." ......Victory!!! Bhaha. But then I saw her outside and apologized like a bitch because, I'm a polite bitch :(

The cashier should implement a 10% cutting fee: 10% of your purchase price paid to each person you cut in front of

[@juliansanderson839]

Why? So people are more justified in leaving their cart in line while they shop?

[@PerfectlyNormalBeast]

I forgot about this Well, if you have a $100 purchase and have to give each person behind you $10, that's a pretty strong incentive At that point, I think I'd be looking for the line with the most abandoned carts in it Do my shopping one item at a time :)
