A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are getting groceries. Blue is looking at Green, as Green scratches his chin with his tail, deep in thought. A little further away, a purple fox looks at them, seeming amused. Blue: Was it spring rolls? I think you mentioned spring rolls. Green: ...Maybe? Purple: Heh. Blue and Green turn to look at the purple fox as he addresses them. Purple: Same thing every time, eh? Wife sends you to buy one thing, and you completely forget it! Purple raises his tail in embarrassed surprise as Green responds to him. Green: Actually, we're gay. Purple: Oh! Purple relaxes as Green continues with a joke. Green: And that's why we're both at the store, forgetting what we came here for! Purple: Oh, I see!
I do, like everything else in the grocery store, you can pick it up...
I think the issue is you live in a rural area and not a city.
Checkout was always like 15 minutes, then time walking they and having to navigate a shopping cart thru a crowd of idiots with shopping carts.
Average time was probably closer to 45 minutes than an hour. But yeah, a busy grocery store takes a while from the time you get out of a car to getting back in. Unless you're rural and there's just nobody else there.
Compared to a five minute wait for them to load your car.
I've found that they consistently select poor produce and meat; it's not a task I am willing to leave up to others. That's not even touching on the problem of when they simply pick the wrong item.
Also, I live in a major city.
I don't know what to tell you then, my store is on point, sorry yours sucks.
But in a major city, you might want to just try a different store.
I've tried multiple stores in multiple parts of the country. On average, they all suck. Fortunately for these stores most people have poor standards and don't care about paying higher prices.
Also, soon I'll have no choice in stores once the Kroger-Albertsons merge goes through!
