Proper Grocery Store Etiquette

I am not going to put a picture in this post because I don't feel it requires one. Today I would like to discuss a few things, one being stupid people.

People when you go out in public, try to conduct yourself properly. Don't be rude and don't try to screw people over with scams and other dishonest behavior. Do not steal from stores! Pay for your freakin merchandise or food. We don't need more parasites in our society.

Try to have a little common courtesy and decency. Treat workers with some respect. Don't try to use that "Customer's always right" NONSENSE. Because guess what? THE CUSTOMER IS ACTUALLY RARELY RIGHT. That's right. Most customers have no idea how things actually work, so they make all kinds of unreasonable and unattainable request because they are very ignorant about what ever particular industry.

The Gull does not go into a place such as deli and ask that brand new packages be opened for every deli meat that I choose. That's stupid and wasteful. If every customer was to partake in this activity tons of perfectly fine deli meat would be thrown away! With this mentality they have the nerve to criticize grocery stores of being wasteful.

Another thing, don't shop if you are in a hurry. It's all about proper planning. You don't want to wait in line? Too freakin bad! Poor planning on your behalf does not constitute an emergency on the employees' behalf. Wait your freakin turn patiently or get the heck out of the store.

Don't try to cut in line at the deli department, wait your turn and respect others. Don't demand custom made sandwiches when you walk up to a deli. They usually require 24 hours notice for such a thing. They are not equipped throughout the day for making sandwiches efficiently. You want a custom sandwich fast, go to Subway or Blimpie, there is usually one in every grocery store shopping center! Deli departments slice meat for you so you can go home and make your own sandwiches!

No it is not fresher, better or cheaper to get custom sandwiches from grocery store delis. Definitely not faster! Subway has fresh baked bread throughout the day, and the choice of numerous toppings usually for no extra charge. Except for extra cheese, meat, or avocado. Subway also specializes in subs so they are usually very fast at getting you what you need.

Bottom line people, don't be dumb. Try to think before you act, it could save you and others a lot of headaches. The Gull is signing out for now.
