Most people want to be left alone when they're running their weekly errands. If you're tall and shopping at a grocery store, then you have probably been asked to help grab something from the top shelf on more than one occasion. In most of those scenarios, a decent human being would indulge the short shopper; that is, so long as they have been decent to you. Here, we have an entitled Karen shopper who had the audacity to grab a tall stranger by his arm and drag him to where she wanted him to hel…

Nothing stirs up grocery store rage quite like the "10 items or less" lane offender. When one shopper noticed the woman in front of him breaking the rule with a cart load of items, he tried to politely call her out. But this lady wasn't having it, brushing off his remark and saying, "It's just a little longer wait." Then, her kids joined in on the chaos, running back and forth to add even more items to her pile until she had officially annoyed everyone in line, including the cashier.

Remember the days before the self-checkout line? These days, you can do self-checkout at maybe half of the places you shop . When you go to a drug store for some shampoo and cleaning supplies, you can expect to ring that up and bag it yourself. At some grocery stores, they want you to scan and bag all your own purchases, not to mention weigh your fruits and veggies and type in the right code for them. It's an irritating thing to some people, but for those who hate waiting in line, a self-checko…

Turning a power-tripping authority's own methods against them b y adhering rigidly to their strict rules—turning the authority they love so much into their own downfall or to be “Hoist with their own petard,” as Shakespeare would have put it. And there's a reason why this theme is so pervasive throughout history and intriguing to us through to the modern day, the poetic justice of someone's own misuse of authority against them by turning their orders into a perfect act of defiance.

We got places to be, lady

The grocery store is a lawless place.

Never underestimate a customer's ability to be completely and utterly wrong. That's the lesson one baffled delivery person learned during one of their days on the job. Every job deals with clients or customers in some way, and at the most basic level, it's an employee's responsibility to assist them. Companies take this very seriously. For example, at call centers, most workers aren't allowed to hang up on callers, even if they're flipping out over the phone because they don't understand why th…

Watching the grocery store cashier ring up your food items, makes every working-class shopper rethink that second box of gourmet cookies. As the receipt tallies your haul of hunted and gathered groceries, it's hard not to think of those days when a family of four could live off of a $20 grocery store run for a whole week– nowadays, $20 gets you a box of lettuce, 12 eggs, and a cluster of bananas (if you're lucky).

The worst thing in the world is that tingling icky feeling on the back of your neck when someone standing too close to you. Back off, buddy– ever heard of something called personal space?

Express checkouts exist purely to improve the flow of checkout by allowing a greater number of persons with a minimal amount of items to move quickly through the checkout process, freeing them from having to wait behind those with full carts… It's a pretty simple concept, really.

As a grocery store employee , this part-time worker is known for taking on additional work to make the store run smoother. You'd think that would make them the ideal employee! But at this grocery store , that's just not how things work. As the OP explained in their story, they work very hard at their job, doing tasks that honestly sound like managerial work, like adjusting inventory or handling deliveries. Despite that, they still did all these things happily, until a new boss decided to step i…

People will go to any length and make every attempt to turn even the most petty situations to their advantage. Just a single trip to any busy parking lot will show you this, with desperate drivers doing anything in their power to secure a spot, even getting their passengers to jump out of the vehicle to stand in front of it and (hopefully) prevent anyone from getting there first, whilst engaging in outrageous displays of behavior from within the safety of their oversized vehicles. Of course, on…

The most insulting thing you can do to another kid in grade school is eat their lunch. You reach over, belligerently grab their sandwich, and take a bite right in front of them just to prove that you have power over them– Countries have gone to war over less. In this case, one sandwich shop employee did the unthinkable and took the ultimate sandwich-revenge when a group of Karens pushed him over the edge.

This is a strange one — why would this woman try to steal food from another customer while in a grocery store?

Customers who whip out a rewards card at every grocery store live every moment thinking about 10 cents of savings and they are very serious about their discounts. Typically those 'rewards members’ tend to also be the Karen or Kevin types and they can be a huge pain, thinking that every grocery store employee and patron is their personal servant.

One cashier was rolling their eyes at this incredibly unaware customer who just couldn't seem to focus on the task at hand. Wake up, Karen, it's time to pay for your groceries, not blab with your friend! On the r/Talesfromretail subreddit, one frustrated grocery clerk shared the daily struggle of just getting customers to listen to them. On an unexpectedly busy day at the store, the cashier wasn't able to leave their post for a second due to the massive influx of customers. But still, when this…
