Locked: Wife angry that I wouldn't face the shelves in the store

Your wife seems to have some other issues though if something like that sets her off. The responses in this thread are pretty pathetic. No one should feel forced or obligated to do something that they don't want to. He set his boundaries and stuck to it and yet is getting chastised for it. Doesn't mean he's not a nice person. So judgmental

and even if someone was actually trying to reach the item I would be under no obligation to help them unless I wanted to.

+1 for your wife.


...so the next time your wife shares with you a story about how she was unable to reach something on the shelf, and a taller person there refused to help, you're gonna reply "fukken-A...I wouldn't help you either, you short-azz cow!"...aren't you?

YATA

Her negative attitude actually eggs me on and last time we went to Superstore, I price matched 3/4 of the items in the cart. The cashiers couldn't figure out how to price match the meat, so they rang it in as "other". Then we had to go to customer service to get our PC points for personal offers on the meat. All in all it added maybe 10 minutes to our shopping trip. My wife is now refusing to go shopping with me for groceries. I added it all up and showed her that we saved $40 just on price matching, which didn't phase her.

What do you say to a person like this? It's not like we are rich and have money to waste. I am scared to let her go shopping alone, so now I have to go alone.

Selfish pricks.

I am tall, and the last time we were shopping, I reached a box that was on the top shelf, right at the back. After I grabbed it for us, my wife then asked me, "please move the rest of the boxes to the front of the shelf so others can reach them". I told her, "no. why would I do that? I don't work for Superstore". There was nobody else around who was looking for the item. As far as I'm concerned, that's the store's problem, not mine, and even if someone was actually trying to reach the item I would be under no obligation to help them unless I wanted to. My wife says it's a sign that I am not a nice person, I wouldn't help others, and I wouldn't do something that she asked me to do. She says it would be so easy for me, take only two seconds, and yet I am so selfish and mean that I want people to suffer.

What do you think? Would you do it?
