supermarkets make me crazy

edited May 2008 in Social Entropy++
I love shopping for whatever but if there is one place I hate it is the supermarket.
No matter which one,they are all devoid of logic and just make me want to leave the place as fast as possible.

I wanted to buy toilet paper so I went to the nearest supermarket. I wandered around looking for it and managed to find a small shelf with 3 kinds of toilet paper on it. I was all "Why are there so few? And the one I want isn't even here!". So I grudgingly took one I never used and went on to buy some salad. Now the salad is kept at the other end of the store. So I walk and walk and after grabbing the salad I look to the left and see: An entire fucking row of about 20 different kinds of toilet paper! With my favorite one there too!

Why the fuck is there a mini shelf with toilet paper and then such a huge shelf? And why are there no signs pointing to this? If I didn't want salad I would have left with the most shitty toilet paper ever instead of my fluffy paper of softness.

Another story involved me getting bags of ice cubes for my store. Naturally after entering the supermarket I head towards the area with all the freezers. I look around,trying to find the bags but there were none. Frozen Pizza, Frozen Food, Frozen Everything but no ice cubes! After a few min I finally found an employee and asked him about the whereabouts of said cubes.
His response: "You have to go back to the entrance,the ice cubes are in a little freezer in the aisle to the left."

Why the fuck do the ice cubes have their own little freezer hidden in an aisle with dog food???


Who else is sick of crazy supermarkets or has stories involving them?


TLDR; Supermarkets are crazy,we talk shit about them.

    They put the most commonly used items as far away from the entrance as possible just to fuck with the customer.

    And what's with them actually charging you money to get stuff? It's like they're trying to run some kind of business. What a bunch of jerks.

    a) stop going to shitty supermarkets

    b) ice freezers are almost always separate from the food freezers from what i see

    some stores have it outside, even

    They want you walking all over the store to find items. It means you see more items and buy more crap before you leave.

    The nice store owners would never do this. It is not like they are trying to make money.

    Lets go back to the olden days where you walked into a small alcove at the entrance and just asked your grocer for the items you wanted and they brought them to you.

    And when I lived in Germany all of the grocery stores were really tiny and within walking distance but this was in a tiny village in a valley about 10 miles outside of Geissen.
