Store Etiquette

[@heatblayze]

I was working at a supermarket once and was putting empty boxes into a shopping cart (which was getting quite full) while filling the shelves and, as I was walking away to go to the toilet, I turned around to see a lady empty my cart so she could use it.

[@OmegaMetroid93]

What the hell? O.o Do people think with their armpits?

[@ComputerDude2600]

Thats strange!

[@dacasman]

I literally had the EXACT same thing happen to me. she left some plastic packaging materiel in the cart too and took it outside and put it in the cart coral.

[@JRexRegis]

OmegaMetroid93 who doesn't?

[@Sinsy18]

That has happened to me quite a lot.

[@UselessMission]

I also can't stand when there are dumbasses who just leave their shopping cart in the middle of the parking lot whenever there are designated areas for them. I mean, c`mon, you couldn't give 5 seconds of your life to put your shopping cart where it's supposed to go and not leave it in the middle of the parking lot where a car could hit it? Although these aren't life or death situations, they still show how irresponsible and lazy some adults are when cleaning up after themselves. And this is coming from a 14 year old boy. (-.-)

[@redrunner3912]

I know People just leaving them where ever they want or even takeing the carts with the home and you might see whilst your walking by a river or canal there would be carts in them

Ryan Ianaro I actually started to listen to them about a year or two ago. Along with Pantera, Megadeth, Judas Preist, etc. Now, I'm leading more towards grunge music such as Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, and occasionally Nirvana. Although, I think Nirvana is a little bit too overrated nowadays. Anyways, heavy metal is still one of my favorite genres. Rock on \(-_-)/

[@UselessMission]

Ryan Ianaro I believe I have heard of death before. I think it was a Judas Priest cover but I can't remember the exact name though.

[@loluntilmypie]

Here's a twist: *The trolley never existed*.

[@Frodudus]

This video was brought to you by M. Night Shyamalan. Making you question your existence since 19??.

[@kdw6582]

Illuminati confirmed?

[@Frodudus]

Ryan Ianaro ???

[@Frodudus]

Ah okay.

[@ghiiitrooper9861]

Also an interesting twist on the philosophical "trolley problem."

[@Souls_Are_For_Squares]

I cannot thank you enough for this video! Customers can be awful. There was a woman who pooped in the fitting room stall one night I was working and wiped her ass on the curtain. We couldn't get it cleaned until the next morning because the custodian wasn't there. We had to just close down the fitting room. I've seen people in my store drop clothes right on the floor and not even hesitate to pick it up. At the end of the day, the store is trashed. We didn't leave until 11pm last Christmas Eve. The store closed at 8pm.

[@NaoPb]

Ewwwww. How can people be so disgusting?

[@kaytee7607]

Was it on purpose or an honest accident?

[@sshaw303]

I'm sorry, but without commas, this reads like you wiped her ass on the curtain. LOL Some people do seem to have a fetish about having other people clean up their feces. I worked security at a facility where we had to review CCTV footage to find out who used a bathroom last, because someone smeared feces on the walls. And this was a facility with people with advanced degrees. I never shook anyone's hands again.

[@Souls_Are_For_Squares]

***** She did it on purpose. Right under the bench where I guess she thought we wouldn't find it.

[@DreamsRemorse]

Had a customer throw a bloody tampon in the trash right by the fitting rooms...after apparently taking it out in the fitting room. Had to get someone to empty the trash since blood is a sanitary issue. I've heard of customers pissing in the fitting room - on the clothing. The things customers do, I really wonder about them.

[@Raykushi]

I used to have hope for humanity. I used to not have stereotypes. I used to be such an idealist. Then I got a job as a cashier. My hope is tarnished.

[@BkaybGaming]

I'm not condoning stealing but who would want to steal an unpaid for trolley?

[@Babytronians]

A human being.

[@quartzgrace1816]

Some women leave their purses in the cart and some people leave jackets and keys. Rep said he was with his girlfriend so maybe the guy was trying to get her purse

[@bing-fish8980]

JustCallMeGrace why would they take the whole cart

[@torqasbell8698]

Bing - fish because it's easier and a lot less obvious to take the whole cart, after all they are in a place where having a cart is the most natural thing, and if they do get caught, they can always claim that they accidentally took the wrong cart. sad but unfortunately this happens way too often

[@flapcat4681]

Maybe they misplaced theirs and thought it belonged to them?

[@burritos4sammeh]

I work at Kmart and I deal with pretty much everything you've listed. Even the workers get their carts stolen on occasion, bottles of water and supplies you have in order to do your job just GONE. And it's awkward as hell trying to get it back. When I was a cashier I had a lady give me a candy wrapper that her son had just got done eating so I could scan it then throw it out, it was covered in chocolate and drool, I was sooooo beyond disgusted! And luckily we hire a janitor to clean our bathrooms but I hear terrible stories, poop smeared on the wall and apparently someone took a shit in the changing room. THE CHANGING ROOM!

[@MintyDreamerIce]

Holy crap

[@merinsan]

While I've never seen a turd in the changing room, I have one in a urinal before. And smeared on the wall of the toilet. There are some sick people out there.

[@grimkidcoffee5013]

I worked at Walmart and I found a bloody pad in the changing room.

[@chiefpowhatan1108]

I once found a potato in the chip aisle. Close enough.

[@dzarko55]

6:20 you have BAGGERS? What? Why would you need that? Bag it yourself.

[@Yutuban1]

Yeah, I know, right ? I know that in America there are baggers. But we do not have baggers here ( Czech republic ) and we are doing just fine without them. I guess Americans are lazy after all :P Nothing against Americans, just a joke :)

[@gabrielabbate3366]

Memebind_M There are only baggers in some stores. But in stores like Walmart the cashier will bag your groceries for you. :P

[@sambucktooth]

Memebind_M more jobs for young ppl

[@ChinnuWoW]

Some grocery stores hire people to bag people's shit...

[@nickmcintyre509]

It has nothing to do with laziness. When it's one o'clock on a Sunday and the store is packed with customers, baggers are a godsend because they speed up the process. It's all about efficiency.

[@AgentPanda15]

The best part about people not putting things back where they belong, is when the customers complain later that the store is a mess and that they can't find what their looking for. The store I worked at only allowed us to work a certain amount of hours so we had very limited time after closing to clean up the store. On busy days we only got time to clean up our priority section leaving only a quick walk through to pick things off the floor in the other parts. There were always items in wrong places we missed...especially our seasonal aisle....Customers love to take advantage of finding items in the wrong place and try to get discounts to pay for "our mistakes." Retail is a nightmare.

[@QBG]

Great video. I used to work for a major arts and crafts retailer, as the manager of the store's custom art framing department. I can say without a doubt that the worst customers are all too often the ones with the most money. For example, I was once working with a doctor and his self-important wife to frame their terrible stock art canvases. While the two rich adults stood there spitting out platitudes and self-satisfied money speak to me, their two atrocious little brats proceeded to completely tear apart every merchandise display within a 50 foot radius of my framing counter. The parents completely ignored their obviously spoiled children as they opened unsold merchandise and literally threw it at each other as if they were having a snowball fight. They were far more intent on making me understand how rich and important they were and that I should feel privileged at the opportunity to frame their expensive artwork. They cared nothing for the fact that their son and daughter were causing hundreds of dollars worth of damage to our store and our products. In short, people like that believe that everyone who works in retail is there to be their personal serving lapdog, and they'll be first to raise hell if any lowly peasant dares to challenge their rude, obnoxious, uncivil behavior. In fact, most big companies (such as the one I worked for) have explicit policies detailing the fact that employees ARE indeed the indentured servants of the customer, and should go out of their way to accommodate such bigots regardless of their own personal dignity. If I owned my own frame shop and the same couple treated me the same way as they did in the big retail chain, I'd have no problem telling them their money is no good here and sending them on their way, WITHOUT framing their artwork and WITH a bill for whatever damage their godawful brats did to my store.

[@residentevil1fan]

You know as a person who has been a bagger for 2 years there are some things that do annoy me . 1. When bagging certain items sometimes people want things bagged certain ways. That's okay, but don't bitch at me when I bag it the way you want it to, then say "No, No, not that way, here this way" As trivial as that may seem, it annoys me. 2. When people have less then 15 items but don't go through an open and empty self check out or express lane even though they have like 2 more people behind them with big orders! 3. When I fucking hear this "Oh, it didn't ring up, so it must be free haha " All I want to say is "You know, it wasn't funny the first time, it isn't funny the 50th time I heard it -_-". 4. When people have their kids in the cart and you have to work your way around them. Even though these kids are perfectly capable of walking by their parents themselves! Seriously don't complain to me when your stuff is squashed when you have a 3 foot human being in your shopping cart taking all the room. I could go on, but 4 is good enough.

[@BlazeDeval]

Shame that common sense isn't common.

[@ChinnuWoW]

It's not about sense, it's about giving a shit.

[@Snowmangaming92]

BlazeDeval As Sokrates said "Those who know what is right will never do the wrong thing", expect he was lying and no one gives a shit, so that next person don't give a shit and everyone just fuck everything up.

[@RageStartFilms]

Thank you for putting this out right before thanksgiving. People will be shopping a lot more and need to learn their shit.

[@moloking401]

Thank you MrRepzion for understanding what working at a store is like

[@kirstydickie7757]

Another bad thing customers do is they bring a smoothie or coffee into the store and just leave the empty cup on the shelf.

[@heavyguy4660]

One time I was minding my business in a stall and then, yes, this man peaked Into the stall and said "penis" I immediately pulled my pants up and yelled pervert as loud as I could. He tried to get in, but security got him. I haven't heard of him since. Still traumatized

[@Dreamprism]

Recommendation: Wipe the seat yourself before you sit down. Yes, the last person should've done it, but this will still save you from having to sit on their stuff.

[@DarkLordLinkOfficial]

I worked in a grocery store (register and stocking) and the one thing that pissed me off the most was people that would put shit they didn't want on a shelf right next to the register, instead of giving it to the cashier or just putting it away. If you give something you don't want to a cashier, it gets put back the right way, and you're not a dick.

[@zakshaw948]

Thank you so very much for speaking up for those of us in the horrible food industry. We go through a lot more on a daily basis than most people think.

[@UpsidedownLlama]

Do a vid on restaurant etiquette next, because I feel like people need a lesson on tipping their waiters and NOT LEAVING WITHOUT PAYING.

[@kikyo4815]

When I was a cashier at a place that rhymes with schmal-mart, this one lady comes up with her items and puts a banana peel on the counter. After trying to tell her several times I couldn't ring up the peel of a weighable item, she was completely astonished that she had done something wrong. One of my fellow cashiers also had an allergic reaction when someone placed an opened candy bar wrapper (containing nuts) on their counter. Please, guys. Just wait until you've left the store, is it that hard?

[@eywright]

I eat stuff in the store all the time. When my mom and I go grocery shopping and we're really hungry, we get a bag of chips, and open them and eat them. We aren't messy and we always pay for the merchandise.

[@PsychicsRfake456]

it is kinda gross to shop and eat. the carts have germs on them.

[@eywright]

***** We always use hand sanitizer. My mom won't let me get any without clean hands.

[@FernKully]

That's technically considered stealing until you pay for your items. Just hit the checkout first then continue your shopping, we've had people who's cards have been declined because of random bank holds or they didn't get their paycheck on time. What would you do then?

[@eywright]

coolgalbrit b Run.

[@somethingstuffles9084]

Are you not affraid of getting caught by an employee? How in the world is this behaviour concidered normal by you? I've never in my life seen anybody do this ._.

[@dmoneyxion]

Thank you Daniel for this video, I've been working at a grocery store since high school and even now while I'm in college, but people don't realize that what you said are what drive us totally insane at work. It's already rough enough dealing with the public, and incompetent managers but then having to fix and clean up unnecessary stuff that customers do can become very vexing over time.

[@MyNameIsASecret1318]

Don't answer your mobile phone an proceed to have a 5 minute conversation at the cash register.

[@jakedecker02]

True dat

[@CletusHunnicutt]

It was always such a joy to find a package of rotted ground beef behind the central air filters.

[@MomnSajie]

This is now my favorite video that you have ever made Daniel! I have worked years in retail. Especially Family Dollar, Stores like these only have a Cashier and a manger that has to do EVERYTHING. Only Truck day gives an extra worker for the truck. This makes shrinkage ( thefts) much more easier to do ( being that truck day the cashier as the only one on the floor)

[@Vigilante008]

When I worked at the supermarket I use to be in the deli (Cold sliced meats, Fresh Fish, Salads, cooked foods, etc etc)! Some people would asked for an item, Ask how much which is fine. The stock Boys or Stock girl (There was only one female who stocked shelves where I worked) Would come back 5mins with the item I just gave to the person. I never understood why they would ask for something and then throw it away somewhere. If they didnt want it or couldnt afford they can just bring it back. It the wrapping hasnt been opened we usually put it back. No idea why this happened.

[@FreshyMandela]

I once had to clean a public restroom at a park with human feces smeared all over the floor and walls I even had to pick up 2 human turds, even though I had a face mask on I could still smell it and almost threw up, worst day of my life.

[@leettokkii]

I've seen trending videos where teens go to grocery stores and slam jugs of milk, making the milk explode everywhere in the isle, thinking it's hilarious. What is this? Why? And wtf?

[@oyhe94]

I work at a grocery store. My tips for shopping are: 1: TAKE OF YOUR FUCKING BLINDERS!!! Serioulsy, you don't have to leave your cart in the middle of the fucking way and stare endlessly into the shelves an not try to pay attention to what is going on around you. 2: You meet someone you know and chat a little bit with them, great. But don't stay in the middle of the "main intersection" of the store for 10 minutes while I walk by several times with carts full of fruit to stock up. 3: Some places you can buy 6-packs of big soda bottles. Don't tear the plastic that holds the bottles to take out 1 bottle instead of walking 5 meters to the left where the single bottles are located. 4: Please return your cart to where you found it instead of leaving it right next to the card terminal in the middle of the way, especially whan 5 idiots right before you has done the exact same thing. 5: If you take your cart outside, either put it in a cart "shed" or consider taking it back inside, instead of just pushing it sligthly away from your car. 6: Try to figure out what you want to buy before you go to the store, istead of standing there like an idiot endlessly looking into the shelves not knowing what you want. (Me personally can buy what I need to make dinner for my entire family in 3 minutes). 7: Sometimes your kids want to come along, and in summer you should not really leave your kids in the car. But you don't need to bring your 5 loud, badly behaving kids that you don't have any control over into the store, especially not right when the after work rush of customers arrives. 8: If you drop something and break the packaging, don't just leave it on a shelf. Give it to a cashier and say I fell down or something like that. Also if the thing you dropped was made of glass (jam, peaut butter etc), alert the staff immediately. If it is left in the floor for some time it will stick and be harder to remove later, and small pieces of glass will be everywhere, possibli getting into the hands of the stupid kids in point 7. 9: If you only want to buy 2-3 cans of beer, remove the cans from a 6-pack where someone allready have removed some, instead of ruining another pack.

[@BoDiJyPz]

Working in a grocery-ish store, I appreciate that you made this video. People are too often careless of anyone and everything and it just makes everyone's job harder.

[@sadieissad7779]

Honestly, this really hits home for me, as someone who volunteers (as in I don't get paid or get any physical reward) their own time at an Op shop where the proceeds go to supplies for homeless people, rather than spending my time doing stuff like labelling clothing, I spend most of it cleaning up after you and your child. When I was little, if I had made a mess in a shop, my parents would be sure to make me clean it up. Now, I see parents letting their kids loose in the toy section without bothering to even pick things up off the floor so people don't trip. I mean if you're going to let your kid make a mess, please do it in a place where people actually get paid to clean it up or in a place that doesn't try to give homeless people food and shelter.... sorry for a bit of a rant....

[@TyrannicalMoon]

my mom was a bagger for a while, and let me tell you. put your bread and eggs LAST on the belt.. The order should go something like chemicals/cleaners/non edibles Canned goods Boxed goods Bagged goods Drinks Meats Cold/frozens Produce Bread and eggs. (glass goods (jams, pickles, sauces, etc) I usually put with colds since they go straight to the fridge anyhow, but usually they would be placed with canned goods) and if your cashier is also the bagger then you put the items in your own cart as they're placing the bags on the counter. If you're carrying a basket instead of using a cart then unless you've been running all over the store back and forth,i it's okay to separate your eggs and bread from your basket and just place it on the belt. Everything will be in the order you picked it up most likely, however if there is a line forming and you have to wait anyhow go ahead and put everything in order, and for the love of god, leave at least a foot between your things and the person's in front of you and use a divider. (the pains of your grocery store being in a college town.)

[@philbateman1989]

It's never bothered me when an adult drinks a drink from the shelf as they walk around the store so long as they give me the bottle to scan at the end. I don't consider it stealing unless they leave the store without paying for it.

[@PokettoManStar]

I feel the exact same way, although I do think it's a bit rude to drink or eat while walking about the store, but cracking a drink open in line is perfectly fine. After all, people who grab a drink are likely to be thirsty.

[@GaianEntertainment]

Poketto There are drinking fountains for that. People could also start their shopping in the check-out line with just the drink in their purchase, then drink it as they shop. Instead, they choose to steal from the store and *potentially* purchase it later.

[@PokettoManStar]

Gaian Entertainment I totally agree about consuming goods in the store, it's far too easy to put the item down without being caught, but in my own experience, cracking open a drink or having a piece of gum while waiting in line doesn't have any ill effects, apart from being given a scornful look here and there. After all, those end-of-cash displays are intended to catch you in an impulsive moment. Might as will give into the monkey brain.

[@txx0xxt]

Gaian Entertainment I've never seen a drinking fountain in a market lmao

[@txx0xxt]

SgtPiggie Really? That's so cool, I wish they had - .... OHHHH okay. Water fountain. I thought they were talking about soda fountains! Hahaha

[@xXSUBJECT4Xx]

This is off topic, but I had a similar experience a while back while eating at a resturaunt. Okay, so me and my fam was eating at a resturaunt. There was a table full of loud, obnoxious men who looked like they were from the gym. So, we were eating and suddenly we stop hearing them. I look over at the table and all of them are gone.

[@izackpearson4977]

Well... that was anticlimactic

[@UpsidedownLlama]

without paying? Ugh, I hate those people. I also hate people that don't tip waiters. Waiters basically live off the tips they get, and if a meal isn't paid for, THEY have to pay for it.

[@UpsidedownLlama]

Yeah. Usually waiters get paid minimum wage, so their tips are pretty much the only thing that pays the bills.

[@merinsan]

Isn't that what normally happens in restaurants?

[@X-Cactus]

Izack Pearson Lol, I know, I expected a 'Read more' prompt to pop up.

[@ManatoonProductions]

So I'm guessing the shopping cart theft was one of those, "I'm not mad, I'm impressed" moments lol

[@ShadaOfAllThings]

the only time I will ever start to eat something is when I am right in line and can't get away with not paying

[@Pixelynx]

On the remark of putting things back where you got it; one thing that irks me the most is when a person picks up an item, right there decides they don't want it but instead of putting it back where they got it, they put it down in a spot *next* to where they got it. And I'm like....Really? You could shift your hand over six inches to put that back in the right spot? I mean sure, at least it's in the same area so you don't have to search around store for it/where to put it but the blatant laziness is just baffling.

[@jennifergrove2368]

I just wanted to say Thank you so much for posting a video about this. I work as a Cashier at a Meijer (Which is like Walmart) and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate I ate when people organize the belt. It does make it more efficient. And once I had someone accidentally take my cart in the Bakery section but they returned it when I saw they left theirs and they had mine. Also I have so many stories from baggers telling me about actual shit they've had to clean on the walls in the washroom. Sick.

[@Cornwall1888]

This video is less about store etiquette and more about Daniels OCD.

[@RealRabidRabbit]

Actually this is store etiquette. I work at a grocery store and I have to deal with idiots like the ones he talks about every day

[@aasigraa]

eh nope

[@yaoiboilover]

CDO....

[@jungla3]

Not really though :/...

[@hadoke]

I worked at a wal-mart as a grocery clerk for half a year and I cold regale you with all the stories of customers doing screwed up shit, like packing a shopping cart with 250 dollars worth of meat and trying to run out the store with them. Or the 80 year old lady with dementia who would throw bottles at me if I dared to even look at a store brand item when she wanted a name brand one instead. Then there was the woman who confused a full turkey for turkey breasts. Yeah it seems when people shop at retail all common sense goes out the window.

[@KoopaXross]

About the public toilet urine on the seat, it's not just in grocery stores. 95% of the time, at my college, I find urine on the seat. Always have to wipe that shit off.

[@Mintyoreos]

To be fair, I've put items in the wrong places while I was in a hurry. I mean when I'm not I always do put them away where I got them. Sometimes items can end up having to go on the other side of the store. However, there is times where I just bring stuff to the till and say I don't want it. That seems more rational.. I should do that more often ahah. It all comes down two there is a ton of disrespectful assholes in the world really though. Some of these "Store Etiquette" standards don't apply to them at all. Naturally they would dismiss them completely. This is why I don't put my purse in a cart. You'd be surprised what people are capable of. Wearing backpacks backwards doesn't sound like a bad idea either. Hah.

[@cwxdaf152]

I work in a UK supermarket and lots of things annoy me (nothing too bad, mind. I'm easy going). Two things are: Customers putting chilled items they no longer want on ambient shelves, like coleslaw in the pet food isle so we have to throw it away. Customers letting tiny children crawl round on the floor, while we move heavy, potentially dangerous trollies and delivery cages round the store (we're 24 hour). I've not hit any toddlers with my heavy order picking cart, but I've had two older children run square into the side of it. There were tears, I felt kind of awkward though the parents are usually understanding.

[@YOSUP315]

Ikea's a maze; of course you couldn't find someone that had a thirty second head start.

[@JupiterLicorice]

As someone who worked in a grocery store for two years as a clerk, bagger, janitor, stocker, and cashier, this is the most relate-able video you've made in the since I've been watching your content. If you go into a store, just take care to keep it cleaner than you found it. I always make a point to pick up trash and put things back where they belong, even if I don't work there.

[@AllGameRay]

when i was a cashier it pissed me off so much when people wouldn't hand me the merchandise they didn't want. I would literally see them whispering to each other about not wanting something and watch them put it in the magazine rack or on the end or another till. Like IM RIGHT HERE JUST GIVE IT TO ME! I'm going to have to pick it up anyways, why are you making my job that much more difficult. I pretty much agree with everything in this video, i wish more customers realized this stuff, except for the opening food thing, i don't really find that to be too big of an issue, but you are right there are people that eat it and just chuck the garbage on a shelf. It would make it easier if they didn't let you eat in stores at all i'm sure.

[@kingkongzilla34]

I know how you feel about the gross bathrooms. My college had some pretty disgusting ones. Quite often the seats would be covered in piss. I mean for fucks sake, if you have to take a leak, either lift up the seat or sit the fuck down, or use a urinal even if you can't be bothered to lift a seat up. Sometimes, the seats would just have an amalgamation of disgusting stains dried in place on them, making them unusable and you'd have to keep going along the different stalls to find one that was actually clean.

[@TaraDobbs]

I've worked retail for 14 years. I've seen things, heard things personally while working that you would not believe. The complicity of the human creature's mind set is astounding.

[@jefferysauter5192]

What I hate the most is when I find a roll of beef sitting next to a loaf of bread.

[@donana7330]

I worked selling cable services in Wall Mart once. Went to the bathroom and there was shut in the middle of the stall. Not in the toilet, it the MIDDLE of the stall.

[@spunkyfashion101]

One of the problems I have is when people leave their carts in parking spaces and don't put them in the designated spots outside the store. My friends mom told me she does it because its making them actually do their job and work for their paycheck as if they don't have multiple other things to do besides get the carts. idk it just annoys me when i see a cart in a parking space I could have parked in.

[@Ieatedurhamster]

I can usually tell if someone has been a cashier before in my line because they actually sort out their items.

[@jrjuggalo159]

I feel you on #2. I found a pound of hamburger in the ice cream freezer before.

[@GaianEntertainment]

That's better than finding meat in the produce department, outside of a cooler. Ditto for dairy products. Why are there so many idiots in the world?? :'(

[@AlltimeConspiracies]

Why would anyone want to. Peculiar!

[@help-cu7wr]

Much more common than stealing shop carts is leaving them in parking spots instead of the designated areas.

[@robertdevald]

Lol "bagger". We don't have that here in Europe, everyone packs his own bags. I was really surprised and confused when I went to America and a random dude started grabbing my stuff off the conveyor belt and putting it in bags. Apparently, it was a "bagger". xD

[@robertdevald]

Derpy Hooves Really? I have never seen one and I have already been shopping in Belgium, Netherlands, France, Germany, Slovakia, Romania and Hungary and I have never seen a bagger in the places above. I didn't know about the UK.

[@PokettoManStar]

Here in Canada, only a few of the more costly stores employ baggers - much like how some of the lower-end stores require a quarter to use a shopping cart.

[@sgtcaboos118]

Silly Britbong

[@a_little_green]

Poketto Really? I live in Quebec and I never saw (even when I travelled) a store where you need to pay to use a shopping cart... I don't even get the logic of that? :o

[@PokettoManStar]

Charging a small fee for carts deters theft by rewarding those who return their carts. While those who are more affluent might not care about a quarter, those who count out and use their small change will walk across the lot to get their quarter back. Most Food Basics and No Frills locations that I've seen in southern Ontario employ this sort of structure, and they always have the clearest lots and fewest stray buggies. Very rarely do I find an unattended buggy with a quarter in it, with the few that are seen either broken or having been tampered with for their change.

[@athalia3661]

When I worked at Walmart, I had a panic attack while watching someone smell shampoo. I had just spent an hour bringing all of the shampoo out into the store and organised it properly on the shelves while putting price tags. I walk away to put the boxes in the compactor. I come back to this woman and her (assuming) teenaged daughter, grabbing and smelling EVERY SINGLE BOTTLE OF SHAMPOO. Grab one, smell it and say "hm, that one is ok" and instead of hanging the other woman the same bottle to smell, they would grab another. So this went on for 15 minutes. I ended up having my panic attack and took my lunch break early. Not only do I have severe social anxiety which made me freak out about people as it is, but I also have slight OCD, and that sent me over the end. I spent my lunch hour sitting outside on a bench crying and hyperventilating, I even threw up. I think I told my boss I needed to go home early, and I called in sick the next day.

[@willmckee1632]

I was at the store once, and this woman got some turkey from the deli. Now this wasn't just some cheap Oscar Meyer turkey. It was expensive Boar's Head turkey. She took the turkey, gave it to her kids, who immediately ate it all and threw the bag on the floor.

The shopping cart fell into another dimension.

[@CollegeTalkTV]

Wait, you sit down on a public toilet without checking for piss and shit all over place.

[@aaronrosenberg6633]

I never EVER use a public toilet without checking the seat first. Even if looks dry, if the restroom is sketchy enough, I'll lay down a layer or two of toilet paper to sit on.

[@SenpaiSquadNet]

I totally 100% agree with what you are saying. I even go out of my own way to put things in the right place even though I don't work there. As a HP representative, I don't even have to do anything for the stores I go to. But I even bring back the shopping carts to the store if I see them left in the parking lot.

[@WingedSumac]

Sorry, but if I go into a store on a hot day, and all I get is a soda,and theres 10 people in a checkout line w/ one cashier,Im gonna take a sip while I wait.

[@StreamerSchool]

I've NEVER sat on a pissy toilet seat. I always wipe in public even if I can't see the pee. Even in my own house. Oh man lol sorry to hear that one.

[@cassidyfox9968]

Your grocery store has baggers? At my grocery store you bag your own groceries.

[@JAXCRAPTV]

One time I was at target and I saw a kit-kat in the CD section of the store.

[@Teatime7771]

what is worse on putting items back in the wrong places, is when the item needs refrigerated or needs to be in a freezer.

[@ReadmanJ]

Can I just add: People who bring big-ass shopping carts with 2 or 3 items into the express checkout counter lane! GRR!

I work at a grocery store. That shit happens all the time. Cart thieves!

[@merinsan]

I cannot understand how people manage to make public toilets so dirty. I suffer from IBS and have to use public toilets frequently. It's rarely a pleasant experience as I have to first clean the toilet before I can go. Some are so dirty I need to find another one. Do these people do the same thing at home??

[@yukiterumi6532]

Fun fact: my brother was an overnight stocker at Wal-Mart, and he said he actually really likes people that just toss stuff anywhere (rule 2), because he could put it in a cart and not have to deal with it afterwards. Something about 'overstock,' I'm pretty sure. Even though I'd still never do it, just a bit of trivia for you, thought I might share that he claimed it made his job easier or something.

[@ZEDW1]

Time for me to dispense some shopping cart advice. Always have your shopping cart in front of you and have at least one hand on it at all times.

[@mattao1987]

I hate when people leave their carts full of items in the middle of the store and sometimes don't come back of it. I hate when they leave it in the middle of main aisles. I hate when they are the wrong side of the aisle. I hate when they leave their cart unattended with a child unattended in it.

[@LostTranslation85]

I hate children.

[@RealRabidRabbit]

Being a courtesy clerk at Kroger is a shit job. You bag 300+ pounds of groceries under pressure from the cashier, and there's the shitty idiots that critique every single detail of your bagging skills, clean the bathrooms (shit and piss everywhere and for some reason food), restock and deal with people's idiocy of "DURR WHERE DO I PUT DUH CORN? GUESS I'LL PUT IT NEXT TO THE BEER", take in carts from the middle of the streets with the risk of some drunk running you over because they didn't want to wait .5 seconds for a stop sign, and deal with people thinking you know everything about the store. Guys, be nice to people who work retail. Their work is really shit so follow the etiquette please

[@lamprey263]

I worked at a grocery store, Safeway up there in Seattle when I was in college, as a night stocker. So I know how they operate to a degree, and having worked at a grocery store it bugs me when I'm able spot the effect of bad practices. The first thing you brought up, facing, is the worst issue I have with grocery stores but for different reasons. The store wants the shelves with products at the front of the shelves and no empty spaces. This presents a problem when the store runs out of something, because management wants employees to shift product from a neighboring spot into the area with no product (even if there's a different tag there). As an example, say you have a spot selling Coke next to a spot selling Pepsi, they run out of Pepsi so they shift the Coke products to take up both spaces. (stores don't handle drinks and chips and many other htings, FYI, special vendors do, but just as an illustrative example...) What ends up happening is the employees who orders new product from the warehouse is they simply scan the tag underneath the item that's running low to order more product, they don't actually double check to make sure the product they're ordering matches the space on shelf it's supposed to go. So no they don't track inventory regularly. Anyhow, what happens is they over order because then they see both shelves are taken up by the same product and then when it's restocked you have say Coke taking up both the Coke and Pepsi areas on the shelf. Or, sometimes this doesn't happen but they simply over order and the stocker doesn't have a place to put it, so they'll put it in the neighboring area if there's room. This too causes an invasion of another products space. In both instances what ends up happening is the store stops ordering the other product because the area that's been invaded looks full. Then eventually they seek out and remove the tag because the item isn't selling. I've seen countless products not be carried by the store for this very reason. When it happens to stuff I buy regularly it's a hassle to get the store to correct it. Because when I bring it to their attention they don't clear the shelf so they know to order more, or they just re-shift neighboring inventory into it. Also, it's not just store employees that do this, but the vendors that come to stock special areas on the shelves they deliver product for. They're just as bad if not worse about it. As a former employee of grocery stores, my problems were with my co-workers and management, not the customers. Nothing they did ever pissed me off, one of the few jobs where that happened. My other biggest gripe though was the stores radio, which isn't radio but a track on loop playing a limited set of songs. What this meant for me is in a given shift I'll hear "Three Times A Lady" like dozen times.

[@megamovieman101]

Public washrooms drive me crazy. Even at my school, it's like no one is even toilet trained...

[@AvaEnithesi]

I think ya forgot to mention, please for the love of Armadyl put your shopping carts into a corral when you take them out to the parking lot. Empty, abandoned shopping carts have a weird tendency to go down slopes and hit cars; they can't do that if they are in their corral. Rescue the orphan shopping carts!

Be Daniel. get stoned like a greek sculpture, go to ikea for the meatballs, end up shopining, walk away from the cart pass out on a ikea bed, wake up, OMG its only been 30 sec--- more plausible scenario - YES IM A DETECTIVE!

[@baileyrenee9167]

In my experience walking around with a two year old is one of the most difficult things to do in a grocery store. And nobody in the store has a problem with me giving my niece a small bag of cheetos and an apple juice as long as i pay for it when i check out. And i always have.

[@that_puffsley_guy]

I can contest to the putting items back in the wrong place, I worked at Walmart as a cashier and we had to keep our checkouts clean, part of which was gathering all the items people leave in the magazine racks and such. On numerous occasions I would find stuff like meats and dairy products in different places and because its been sitting for an unknown amount of time we would have to throw it out.

[@MrLedzep1992]

Just a little insider tip from working at grocery stores.. some people purposely place items in different areas within the store to hide them and them so that way they can come back at a later date and grab that item. They do that so they can get those items past their expiration date. When they do that, well at least in the area of New York, they actually get some form of credit for it, because that ends up to being some form of penalty to the store for "trying to sell" expired products and merchandise. So it hurts the store ans benefits the customer in that sense. Its another form of stealing that they do, that isnt as noticeable as just simply taking an item and walking out with it without paying for it. But the points you made were completely valid and i agree with them, but you only just touched the surface of all the stuff for all the stuff people do that grocery store workers have to put up with on a daily basis.

[@PsychicsRfake456]

I was in a store once the day before Thanksgiving, I walked by the meat dept and this costumer was having a fit that they sold out of Turkeys. I would add "don't wait till the last minute to buy your stuff" to the list

[@admiraladmirable420]

I just started working in a supermarket near where I live, and you're right. It is Fucking annoying when people put items in the wrong places, because you have to remove it in order to actually be able to put all of the right items there.

[@JS_GOTI]

I worked at Lowes, so some of these things don't apply to me, but the restocking thing... you just have to expect that and deal with it accordingly. More often than not, if an item is in the wrong place, its just that one item. Its not like its a shelf full of things that don't go there. Granted, this can happen in various spots, piling up the number of things stocked in the wrong place, but it has to be expected. And it not such a big deal make a fuss over. It happens. And that goes for things not being neat as well. True enough, you want things to stay neat and clean looking, but at the end of the day, that isn't the customer's job. A bunch of people go in an out of store everyday. Things a bound to get screwed up in some way. And its pretty simple... if you work there and you see its messed up, fix it. Its what you're there to do anyway. Irritating at times, yeah, but you're getting paid. As for the restrooms. Man oh man... people just don't give a fuck. If you could see some of these people's restrooms at their homes, I'm sure you'd understand why public restrooms look the way they do. That is why I only use urinals and its only if I *really* need to go. Public restrooms in general are just disgusting.

[@SuperFeefer]

I'm diabetic and have trouble maintaining my blood sugar levels and will sometimes open a bottle of apple juice or orange juice that I intend to buy in the store while I'm shopping to keep from passing out, other than extreme cases like that though I don't open packages in the store

[@MakeshiftMisery]

I admit that I work in retail, but I'm generally okay with people eating something, and then coming up and paying for it. I respect people who go "Oh well I opened these chips, or I finished this candy bar! So charge me for it!! SORRY GOT HUNGRY". Mostly because at any other store I always see shit tucked behind other items, or hidden. Half eaten. Or completely gone. I basically tell the people that do it, that it's fine that they started eating it, since they're paying for it. They aren't like the other people who (for instance) tear open a box of granola bars, eat half of one and then leave the open package and the half eaten bar over with the other granola bars. What pisses me off the most though, is someone taking cold items out of the fridge/freezer section (I work at a Dollar Tree, so it's a small area where the cold stuff is), and then deciding they don't want it........ AND LEAVING IT TO THAW/SPOIL ON THE SHELF. I just... I can't fathom how anyone would come to that conclusion. Take it back to the fridge/freezer section. Or bring it up and throw it in the ice cream freezer we have near the cash registers (or the soda fridges). It's still irritating as shit to find things that aren't supposed to be in those, but at least it's not more waste. B|

[@connormchugh333]

Once I was at Walmart and I turned around to grab something. I turned back to put it in my cart and I saw some guy with a tophat running away with it. Fuckin' Walmart.

[@DarkPhoenix89]

The person must have 100 thievery skills. Master thief achievement unlocked!

[@LauraWilson19952014]

Another thing I hate is when people invade my personal space. They are the type of people who will start putting their items on the conveyor belt before others finish. Like geez, can you wait?! And can you back up please? Don't need to breathing down my neck -_-

i worked in a grocery store for awhile and you hit everything perfectly on the mark. thank you for this video, maybe people will learn some manners about this.

I once went to a bathroom in a Walmart in Kentucky, there was dried and crusted shit on the ceiling.

[@THEEMZY1425]

I worked at CVS for a while and I used to hate finding things in the wrong places cause while I was straightening the items on the shelves, I would have to stop what I was doing just to go all the way across the store to put it back.

[@Account-rb6xg]

Agree with everything except the eating food thing. Whenever I'm in Publix, I just grab a Pepsi from cooler and drink it while doing my shopping. Of course, I pay for it at the end, but nobody really gives a shit.

[@endurancegal93]

Thank you! For the love of all that is good and holy! Honestly though, the kids eating things isn't that big of a deal. Most cashiers get pretty good at asking politely about anything a kid is holding. My biggest issue with kids is when there is zero restraint and they just run around the store playing with everything they can get their hands on, and leaving everything else a mess. Also, I would like to add one thing to this list real quick. If you're going to use any or even a ton of coupons, that's fine. Just try to have them at least semi organized before coming up to the register. There are few things more stressful and obnoxious than having a customer digging around in their bag while swearing that "it was just right here" while the line piles up behind them. And we're not stupid. We can read the coupons. Don't try and use a coupon for a thing it's not for. It won't work. *steps down from soap-box*

This is why I always keep my hand on my cart. LOL
