What's the weirdest thing that ever happened to you in a grocery store?

Question

For me, while I was getting a few necessities yesterday, one of the stock boys from the store came up and just randomly started talking to me about how his brother goes to the same college I go to and how he's on restriction because he got bad grades (yeah, I didn't get it either). Then, when I was at the check out and putting my things onto the belt, that same guy came up from behind me and began helping. Thoughtful.... but very weird. Especially when all I had left to put on the belt was paper towels and TP... I think I can handle it.

How about you? Weirdest experience ever...

Answer 1

I took my 2 year old and 9 year old along...and we were just inside the doors, and for some reason my 2 year old pulled my pants down.....the bad thing was I had my period and my pad flew across the store and landed under a rack....There were several people there and one old guy that worked there kindly went over and got my pad out from under the rack......I felt like such an idiot...

Answer 2

Some guy ran in chasing after a guy, stabbed him, and drove away. Goes to show how ghetto people can be. Also I saw a lady using a squash from the produce section as something sexual... lol, I go to the grocery store almost every day and I see weird and funny stuff happen a lot.

Answer 3

I used the lame self check out lane at the store yesterday, made a mistake, so the light began flashing, no one was in the area to help, so as I waited deciding what to do ( I wasn't sure I'd be tazed by security if I went to a regular register), suddenly the light quit flashing, said VOID on the screen. It re-set.So I re-did everything OK, walked out, never saw a store employee.

That's exactly what we need-less customer service. It's a joke.

Answer 4

Here is the weirdest, and saddest, experience I've had. I was waiting in the check out line and there was an elderly woman in front of me. She was obviously a frequent customer as the checkout lady knew her, and was asking her the typical 'how are you' type questions. Well eventually she asked, "How is your husband?", and the woman replied, "He died three days ago." The checkout lady didn't know what to say, and the woman was insisting it was ok, and then the checkout lady came around and gave the woman a hug. It was really awkward for me.

Answer 5

I decided to return the cart inside the store, rather than leaving it in the parking lot - or even the designated areas within the lot. The front desk manager took notice, and over the intercom announced to the entire store "see people, now that's a good customer - returning the cart to the store!"

I have not seen him since.

Answer 6

There were two checkout belts so the person ahead of you could start bagging their order while you were checking out. The person ahead of me was reaching over to my belt and putting my order in his bag and walking out with my groceries while I was up at the checkout taking my order out of the cart. This happened to me twice. I thought I was going crazy when I got home and found out I only had half my order until I figured out what was going on...

Answer 7

One day, as I was shopping at Wal Mart an employee came up to me (holding something - I really can't remember what it was now) and said to me "here you go, I finally found what I believe you were looking for". I just looked at him and said "I just walked in the door and I have no idea what you are even talking about". He had a puzzled look on his face and finally said "ok, I guess I got you mixed up with someone else. Wow, now how in the world am I going to find the lady?"
I told him "that's your problem to deal with, sorry" and I kept walking.

Answer 8

I was working in the grocery store and this 90 year old woman wanted to buy straight razor blades. When she thought she'd found them, she came up and put them on my counter to pay for them, asking me if they were indeed straight razor blades. The only problem was that what she'd picked up was a box of Trojan Her Pleasure condoms. I told her I didn't think that was exactly what she needed.

Answer 9

I can think of two weird experiences

1. During the Xmas horror days I was in Krogers and I needed to get to something on a shelf well these ignorant snobs kept ignoring me being polite so I litterally infront of like 100 people said at the top of my lungs to my sister inlaw "we'll have to wait til these ignorant rude f'ers move!!" everyone turned and looked at them ... they moved immediately!!

2. I was in Walmart and this guy almost ran me over and I flicked him off... He came back around and started screaming at me for flicking him off like I didn't have the right and then this cart boy comes out of no where and starts telling me I was lieing and he saw the whole thing and started hugging on this guy who almost ran me over!!
I went to the manager and apparently the entire thing was on tape so the police was called on the guy who almost ran me over and I got to see the cart boy fired! ... I managed to slip a bit of keying in before the police got there ....

Answer 10

Well, I was on vacation and I had very horrilble cramps you know and needed some midol and I needed face wash; so, I went into this store and this guy who is my age and pretty attractive comes up to me and says, "Hey, can I help you?" Then I said, "Yeah, you can get me some Midol." Then he gave me a look and started laughing; so, I laughed, too. Then the laughing stopped, and I said, "Seriously, where's the Midol?" Then he said, "Oh" and showed me to it in silence. Then I said, "Ok, where's the face wash." Then he laughed and said, "Right beside it."

That was pretty weird. Lol.
