More Things you Should Never Do in a Grocery Store.

​I read with interest an article on my Microsoft News—Insider by Sophia Mitrokostas, “11 Things you Should Never Do in a Grocery Store, According to Former Employees”. The list was not all inclusive. Most of the things she listed concerned consideration for the employees and other customers. Here are some more things you should never do in a grocery store:
 

1. Do not have sex in the store. I would think this should be top of the list. This is just gross. This apply especially to the frozen food section if you’re trying to get pregnant.
2. Don’t have food fights. This should go without saying, but so often people do it, so it must be said.
3. Do not drink from juice or milk bottles and then place them back on the shelves. Again, gross.
4. Do not get into the line for under 15 items if you have 16 or more items. This is one of my pet peeves. People have been shot for less.
5. Do not fart in the store. Go to the restroom to fart. Farting in an empty isle doesn’t work, because your farts linger longer than you think.
6. Do not use deodorant or toothpaste and then place the item back on the shelves. No one want to buy a partially used item.
7. Do not leave your clothes in the restroom if you’re shoplifting. Chances are you will leave your DNA or some other ID.
8. Do not circle back for more free samples more than twice. No one likes a hog.
9. Do not take the shopping carts home. Someone may spot you and report it.
10. Do not yell, “I won!” at the ATM when you withdraw money. No one thinks that’s funny anymore.
11. Do not read an entire newspaper or magazine without purchasing it. Your prints are all over it.
12. Do not race with the grocery carts. You might run over someone.
13. Do not sample the ice cream without purchasing it. No one wants to find bites missing from a new carton of ice cream.
14. Do not set up a table by the exit to sell kisses. Kisses should be free.
15. Do not juggling the fruit or can goods. The fruit gets bruised and the cans dented.

 
If you follow these additional tips, your shopping experience should be enjoyable.
