This is your chance to rant about what aggravates you the most…
I’m sitting here trying to conjure up something that aggravates me. Maybe that means I shouldn’t participate this week until I remembered one thing from last night’s trip to Walmart. Why are the aisles so narrow and packed so much that you can’t even walk out of an aisle without nearly hitting another cart and having to apologize. Why do I have to apologize because I am done in the chip aisle? Who should apologize? The person walking past the aisle entrances is simply walking by because they don’t need to go down that aisle. Is that the crime? Should there be a set path through a store, a set direction you have to go in so no one is crashing carts? I don’t mind apologizing. I don’t mean to hit anyone with my cart! It seems like, for whatever the reason this doesn’t happen at Publix. The aisles are sometimes even so narrow that the cart handles hit.
I remember during COVID, the grocery stores around here had one-way signs on the floor. They could go back to that, but that was a bit annoying too. 🙄

That wasn’t so bad but it would have helped if they had a universal map, something so that all the stores had to follow the same pattern!

I worked for Publix, they actually make the isles wider on purpose.

We have wide aisles down here, I usually dance down them. Hubby gets rather embarrassed

I didn’t like Publix at first when they came to Atlanta, but they are especially nice stores, and their baked goods are tremendous. I like their sandwiches and fried chicken, too, and the produce is fantastic. They do a great job of laying out the store, too, especially the width of the aisles.

I totally agree! They make a cheesecake like I do that is fluffy rather than dense. When the sales are on they are definitely worth it!

Oh, that is irritating when stores sloppily cram stuff in so people can’t pass!

I’m also the one who usually knocks down the precarious mountain of products!

Shopping can be nasty. I don’t participate every week because I need a really intense peeve, which doesn’t always happen, to get me going
