Why do people do ignorant things in grocery stores

[bottomfeeder]

I was at the grocery store today and in one of the aisles someone left an expensive cut of meat and a tub of ice-cream on the shelf. The ice cream probably melted and the meat probably going bad as well. Is it too much to ask someone to walk 50 m in the store to put the food away that you don't want anymore?

Earlier today I was at Sam's Club - I wanted to buy a rotisserie chicken but there weren't any. I asked what happened and the chicken lady told me that one customer ordered 16 chickens for pickup at 10 am. They did not show up and so by 2:00 pm they had to throw the chickens out. The customer came in at 3:00 and cleaned out all the chickens. Because of the dufus not picking up his chicken they had to throw out 13 chickens.

I guess this is a sign of the growing selfishnesses and self-centeredness of modern society. People getting more and more rude because they are more and more inconsiderate.

Sorry - I had to vent.

I don't care about that, the people that take 17 items or more through the express lane piss me off though.

Someone who leaves icecream in their shopping cart for over an hour to the point where its now turned into pudding, then decides at the very last minute they dont want it anymore, so they return it back to the freezer and your the next guy to buy that tub of ice cream, and have no way of knowing its been thawed out previously untill you take it home and find out its been re-frozen... thats bad. and someone who left out a case of yogurt in room temperatur for too long, and some kid who makes 7/hr doesnt know any better and puts it back in the fridge and your the next guy to buy the yogurt, you get sick, and have to get tested for e-coli poisoning and have to give a poo sample to the doctor and give them a sample of the yogurt and the doctor has to send it in to a lab and analyze it if they are found to match...

You don't care about that? So the OP's comment is not important as long as we're listening to you and what pisses you off?

Ignorance is not the cause of this.

It's consideration for the well-being of others.

Ha ha ha - what kind of moron goes to the ice-cream aisle first? I thought common sense dictated that ice-cream is the LAST thing that you buy. Really makes you wonder about what some people think.

Yup - I agree. The lack of consideration on the highways where people speed up when you try to change lanes or merge into traffic so that you can't merge or change lanes. Like they will get somewhere faster if they prevent you from getting into 'their' lane.

I've had people throw items onto my pile of food(as it's about to scan), then try to take it away from me after I've paid for their food.

I get the attention of the cashier and make them intervene.

Always check your bill as soon as they give it to you is the lesson.

I've never experienced anything like that, although if I did, they'd get a piece of my mind, and maybe even a piece of my fist, that's for sure.

bottomfeeder went on to explain a few things that irritate him, and I posted something that irritates me.

Hard to understand?

I'm not saying that wasting food is not bad, however it's not a problem at a grocery store that directly affects me.
