Thank Goodness It's Friday

Thank goodness it is Friday. I had a TERRIBLE day yesterday, hopefully today will be better. Spent most of the afternoon in my bed. But today is a new day.

Shopping Etiquette 101:

You know something that irritates the heck out me? It is being in the grocery store, and the people that are not familiar with shopping cart etiquette.

This is how it is SUPPOSED to work:

The main aisle of the grocery store, which means the aisles on the outside of the food/product aisles. Those aisles have the right of way. The internal aisles, which are the food/product aisles, need to stop at the end and look both ways before proceeding. You don’t just charge out expecting that the people on the main aisles will automatically stop for you. They don’t need to, remember they have the right of way. You need to treat this as a stop sign. So pay attention, stop talking on your cell phone, stop and look both ways.

If you are in any aisle, including the main one, don’t park you fat ass in the middle of the and visit with a neighbor who you just happen to see in the store, or do some other stupid crap, move to the right of the aisle, which is the correct place to park if you have stopped. This allows people going up and down that particular one to get by your fat ass. Another thing you cannot do, is go down a food aisle, park your cart in the middle, or even on one side, and walk to another part while you get products from farther down the aisle. You need to keep your cart with you, park in front of the area that you need your product, and grab what you need and move on. Remember, you are not the only one in the store.

So when you are all done with your correct shopping routine and you are going to the checkout, remember these things:

• Express lane, 15 items or less-this is exactly what it means. 15 items, or LESS. Don’t go to that particular lane if you have 15 or more. Meaning 16, that is more than 15 okay?
  
• If there is a lane, that says cash only, that is exactly what it means. No checks, ok?
  
• And, last but not least, if you are writing a check, of course in the correct lane, make sure that while you are waiting your turn, or while your cart is being unpacked, you take the time to at least get your check ready. Believe it or not, you can actually, date the check, fill out the grocery store name, and you can actually even sign it, wow. Then all you have to do is fill out the amount.
  

This will save time. Don’t sit there and chit chat with the person behind you, or joke around with the cashier. When this happens, and you get the amount, you aren’t fishing in your purse, or pocket for your check book. And, the person behind you, that has followed all of the correct rules, would get pretty upset. Also, make sure that you get all of the items that you need. If you forget something don’t wait til you get to checkout to have the bagger run and fetch it for you. If you do happen to forget, you’re screwed, you have to either go back when you are done, and buy it, or buy it on your next trip to the store.

If you follow all of these rules, you should have a pleasant shopping experience. And if you failed shopping etiquette 101, revisit the rules as I have stated, or just don’t go shopping. You can always hire someone to do your shopping for you, since you don’t belong in a grocery store.


Poem of the day~

Get out of my way
I am on a quest
Follow the rules
This would be best
If you stop and chat
Please move to the side
That’s rule #1
Of which to abide
Things will be smooth
If you do chose to get
Grandma Molly’s guide to
Proper shopping etiquette

Goals/Accomplishments~

Ok, since I was home most of the afternoon and night, in bed, with a migraine, I accomplished nothing last night. I am not sure I will even go to the gym tonight. I will see how I feel after the drugs wear off.

I will not work this weekend.

Quote/Lyrics of the day~
