Believe me, most of the pet peeves about supermarket shopping mentioned in the article are definitely mine, too!

But I also have another pet peeve not mentioned in the article: they don't bother to properly re-stock items in the right shelf locations during the day. That explains why when I go to the grocery store in the early evening many shelves are a mess and I can't find the item I want!
Small wonder why I usually go shopping in the mid morning when the shelves have just been neatly restocked--probably the first time that day.

I shop in the middle of the night. I fell into the habit when I worked a second shift job. It's the only way to shop.

-selling plants in the garden center area that can't POSSIBLY survive in said climate
-35 cartons of milk that expire TOMORROW
-people who swear at their cell phone because they can't get a signal in the store
-people who park in the fire lane for an hour with their hazard lights on

Would you like to holler "move it" when another shopper blocks the aisle?I would rather use a TOW missle launcher.

I can't access the article so my pet peeve may or may not be included ~ but here it is:
Items that ring up at a higher price then they should but (because they are no longer individually marked with the price), unless you commit all the item prices to memory, you usually can't spot the errors. (it also ticks me off the these errors in pricing are always in the stores favor!)

Are you one of those people who stands in the quick-check line at the grocery store and counts how many items the person in front of you has in his cart? I used to be, right up until I started working late nights. Shopping at 3am is pretty darn hassle free.
