If I were you dude, I’d work in the store just to teach her a lesson

Ask someone who works here? Don’t you mean ask someone who collects pay here?

It’s the aisle with all the jars—-you can’t miss it.

Finding sweet mixed pickles at my local grocery store has become a chore and a half – they never seem to have any. Any other sort of pickle is available in abundance, but not sweet mixed.

The sign in panel 3 says it all!

The sign in first panel is a joke……….

The Smiths store we shop at is going through this process. It took the employee 10 seconds to recall where they moved the honey, since PB & J, jams, and honey were now in the bread aisle.

We have two supermarkets, one has signs hanging at one end of each aisle listing what’s in that aisle.

The other one has laminated lists in every aisle of almost every item category in the store and the aisle number where it can be found.

I typically shop at the first one because the prices are better. But finding something is much easier at the second one.

Ha! Give him a break. He´s a construction worker not a psychiatrist.

Something I’ve learned from reading those addictive “worst customers ever” sites – never wear a red shirt to Target or a blue one to Walmart. “Karen” won’t care that you don’t actually work there.

Sounds like she’s in a pickle.

My car has been down for awhile, so I"ve been ordering online a lot. I definitely don’t miss hunting through the stores, I might keep it up after my car’s fixed.

Just tell her Aisle 10. Then hide. Berle would approve.

I laminate the list opportunities too, but that covers it. ;)

That was supposed to be lost opportunities, but the UI (user interface) struck again.

Okay, I can admit that I asked for help from people who didn’t work at the store, but for the company of the product they were stocking. I didn’t know for this store, there isn’t really a uniform and I thought it was a store clerk doing the stocking. However, seriously asking an obvious construction worker who is in the construction area? I can see it though, I have done retail. Sigh…
