Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Oh, I forgot about the bagging!!!
I'm a bit anal about that (thanks again to being a former cashier). I want my meats with the meats, chemicals alone, cold stuff together, and my bread and eggs unsquished. Is that so hard to do?? I even put them on the conveyor belt in the order they should be bagged....and they STILL screw it up.

lol, another peeve
Ok, I know that this one isn't from the shopper's point of view, but having worked in retail myself, this really bugs me: When a customer is looking for something, let's say, microwaves for instance, and they come up to you without saying hi or anything, and are just like "Microwaves?". I mean, show a little common courtesy. Just my .02 of a dollar

I used to work in WallyWorld (WalMart), and I hated being stuck on line 2. Because line 2 had a HUGE display of batteries (complete with a giant spinning Duracell on top) and I would always get idiots, walking past the huge display, asking me "where's the batteries?"

Another thing about the checkout line......
why do they leave the conveyer running all the time???
I want to neatly place the box items together, meat items together, botled stuff with bottled stuff and so on. But they leave the conveyer on and I cannot do it as I want to. I feel like I have no control over the stuff if it flies to the clerk one by one.
Then askmthe girl to turn it off and you would think I had just slapped her. I didn't, but sometimes want to.

If my order is $3.83 and I give you a twenty you count the money out~ FIRST repeat what was given "Out of $20" then hand me the coin change to make 4 dollars and tell me that as you hand it to me~ "$3.83 (hand change) makes 4, (hand the one over) makes 5 (hand the 5 bill over) makes ten (hand the 10 bill over) and ten more makes $20.

BUT CHERYL...!!! Let's take a look at our wonderful public school system, to graduate from High School the exam requires a 50% passing of 8th grade math and many kids failed it!! So they run off and cry to their mommies and daddies, the parents in turn run to the courts and try to get the exam removed as the required testing for graduating the 12th grade. What are these kids? Vegetables? (This is were a blank stare smiley would come in handy) Basic counting from elementary school and they cannot do it.
Okay so it is my peeve too

Grocery shopping causes migraines !
I hate to grocery shop. Charlie, does most of the cooking. I figure since I do not know what he is planning how can I possibly shop.
People, that choose the 20 items or less items line. They, seem to think if they have 20 bottles of soda, that counts as one item.
I rarely go to the commissary, it is crazy. My husband is retired Army. I have no use for the insanity.....kids running around like they have no " home training". People who feel that they have the right to run you down, step on you etc. because they are Officers families.
I have seen the retired folks from out-of-town, with the 9 baskets full of stuff. But what drives me nuts are the ones driving around on the scooters with an oxygen bottle attached to them , that have one of the 9 carts full to overflowing with cigarettes. Just cartons and cartons of cigarettes.
Just a few of my pet peeves.
