  • Again, why do I shop here?!

    So, having not learned my lesson from my last experience at the sucky grocery store, I stop at another location last night because I'm going to make ramen tonight. Not the toss the powered stuff over it and pretend it's ramen, but real ramen (shiitake mushrooms are soaking in the hot water right now to make the dashi broth), and I know that this store has them, vs the smaller store by my house.

    I get the items I need - shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, baby corn and for the heck of it, extra ramen noodles. I also pick up a few other items since I'm there and we're out.

    As my items are being rung up, the courtesy clerk decides to start reading out lout all the items I have. After the fourth item, I ask him to stop.

    Me: Please don't do that. I don't need everyone knowing what it is I'm buying.
    CC: Why? They're interesting.
    Me: That's nice, I'm glad you're impressed. Can you please keep your thoughts to yourself.

    The courtesy clerk gives me the patented and trademarked cat-butt face and I think as a way to get back at me bags my stuff in the following manner: one loaf of bread with a couple packs of ramen, a second loaf of bread with another few packs of ramen, the cans of bamboo shoots, water chestnets, baby corn and some more ramen and the cold cuts in a bag all their own.

    Seeing him do this, I shake my head and go to find a manager after I'm done to complain. The manager just did the fish mouth thing along with "well..uh.." the whole time. I just shook my head and walked off.

    I've already complained once to the corporate office and I don't honestly want to complain again, but if I have to I have to. I already found out that the guy who made the comment he did was a manager. I guess I'm going to have to spend a little more time and drive a little further to DDD's store from now on.
    Random conversation:
    Me: Okay..so I think I get why Zoro wears a bandana
    DDD: Cuz it's cool

    So, by using the Doctor's reasoning, bow ties, fezzes and bandanas are cool.

    Because you like sharing stories that give me a break from the insanity?



    Good lord, what if you were buying pads or tampons, would he announce that and mention that it was interesting because you prefer 'em with wings??

    What in asstard. And the manager too. I sorry.

    On the other hand...I want real ramen now.

      Or if I was buying a porno magazine, a large box of condoms, a couple of panty shields, a bottle of Old Harper, some illegal fireworkds, and a disposable enema. Eh, make that two.

          Had you already paid? I would have just told him that you aren't paying for squashed groceries and walked out leaving him to deal the with mess.

                Yeah, by that point I'd already paid. The bread wasn, squished, it was more of an annoyance because I had to rebag everything when I got out to my car.

                  Heh, it's the rest of the kit, not the actual enema that would be disposable versus reuseable.

                      I got the same reaction at Subway lately when the guy making my sandwich plopped my lunchmeat down to cut it, not on the cutting board, but on the dirty metal counter right in the middle of a bunch of crumbs and dried up crud. He then put it on my sandwich and started to continue making it before I asked him if I could please have lunchmeat that had NOT been plopped in dirt. I could tell he was annoyed, and he has treated me somewhat cooly every time I have been in there since. Tough cookies. I am not eating dirty food because you are too dang lazy to use the cutting board instead of the dirty counter.
