Hey there, fellow grocery warriors! Navigating the aisles can be a bit overwhelming sometimes, so here are some light-hearted commandments to keep your shopping experience smooth and enjoyable.
- Thou shalt return thy cart. Seriously, folks, there are two types of people: those who return their carts to the corral and those who… well, let’s just say they’re not winning any awards. Leaving your cart in an empty parking spot just leads to chaos as others try to maneuver around it. Let’s help those carts find their rightful home!
- Thou shalt not walk in the middle of the parking lot. You’re not a superhero with the power to stop traffic. Choose a side and keep it moving—no one wants to play chicken with a shopping cart.
- Thou shalt follow the aisle etiquette. Please, travel up one side and down the other! If you barrel down the center like a linebacker and bump my cart, I might just give you a gentle nudge back. And if you decide to flip around mid-aisle, remember, it’s a grocery store, not an art exhibit.
- Thou shalt adhere to the express lane rules. If the sign says 15 items or less, it doesn’t mean “as many as you can stuff into your tiny cart.” That means actual counts, not types of items. No one wants to be stuck behind your mountain of soup cans.
- Thou shalt not abandon items in random places. If you change your mind about that frozen pizza, don’t leave it next to the shampoo. Just take it back to the freezer section. Common courtesy, people!
- Thou shalt respect personal space at checkout. There’s an invisible bubble around the checkout line. Even if you’re ready to jump in, I’m next in line. If you get too close, I might just take a little extra time with my coupons!
- Thou shalt treat cashiers with kindness. Remember, they’re humans too! Don’t be that person who talks on the phone while they’re scanning your groceries. And if they can’t take your expired coupons, it’s not the end of the world.
- Thou shalt not halt at the exit to review receipts. Once you have your receipt and the extra paperwork, keep moving. No one wants to be stuck behind you while you scrutinize every line.
- Thou shalt think twice about self-checkout. Are you comfortable finding barcodes and handling cash? If not, don’t be a hero. Stick to the regular checkout line and save us all some time.
- Thou shalt not stalk for parking spots. If you’re circling around waiting for my spot, think about this: is it really worth it? There are other spots available! Unless you’re willing to help unload my groceries, just be patient.
