Grocery store unwritten rules

Apparently:

Thou shall not shop from another person's basket.

Couldn't find hoisin sauce anywhere in the store. Saw it in someone else's basket who wasn't anywhere to be seen to ask where they got it. So I shopped!

No alarms went off, so you should be okay, unless they think to review the security footage.

For future reference, it's usually on one of the upper two shelves near the Chow Mein and oriental stuff.

You're probably going to want to duck and cover...

That was the problem. Usually a store will have a sign for international, asian, mexican or something. This is a Publix undergoing a renovation and nothing is where it should be!

I consider that a hostile action, and grounds for war!

Please tell me you're kidding.

Do you have any idea how absolutely annoying it is to grocery shop, pay for your groceries, lug everything home, dig out the ingredients to make what you planned on making, and then find out that one of the things you need doesn't exist?

I realize this isn't a life and death situation, but I had no words for how incredibly rude I think that is.

I was thinking this...but I was letting it go in one ear and out the other

This! Now this person has to take an extra trip back to the store (I hate grocery shopping with a passion). In order to save yourself a minute finding an empoloyee and asking, you probably caused someone else a lot more time. How childish!

I would be very mad when I got home and found an ingredient missing!

I would say common sense and the most basic common courtesy would tell you that it is rude and inappropriate to take something from someones basket. I mean really?? I am going to hope this is just a post trolling for controversy and not something someone actually did.

Because you know..all stores have employees..somewhere there was an employee to find and ask where the product was you needed..just requires some actual effort on your part if it is something you really want/need.

 

[PeterPan09]

This is our culture. Not only doing something rude and inconsiderate to others, but going on the internet to brag about how cute it was!

 

[Uncle Remus]

Oh heck, I've been known to wander off with someone's full cart, do down 2 aisles before I realize it's not mine!

 

[burnurcomputer]

Dude, did you at least leave a note?


Dear sir or madam,

I was hungry and unable to contain myself from the lovely sauce that you had in your basket. I simply had to have it! I took it and so you need to go replace it, or if you are single (I'm going off your screename here) you can call me at xxx-xxxx for dinner at my place

many thanks on your good taste,

singledad


LOL!!!

What a coincidence! I often look for unattended SingleFather carts & throw a bunch of extra stuff in so they have a surprise when they get home.

[Angelhalo]

based on another thread where I have seen "singlefather", I get this feeling....

I think it is one thing to make an innocent mistake and another to deliberately help yourself to whatever you want.

 

[goofyernmost]

You guys aren't really buying (tee hee) into this bull are you? Oh, well if it makes everyone feel good to react to fiction, who am I to stop you. Have fun with it.
