I feel guilty now, but I went to the grocery store this morning.
I spent 20 minutes trying to shop only to find many empty shelves. No hamburger. The meat guy told me to come back 2-3 hours later. Yeah, right.
No rice. No spaghetti sauce. Milk was outdated. On and on.
The gal straightening shelves said it wasn't in her job description to see if there was any milk in the back that was dated correctly. She told me to go stand in line at the service desk to see if someone could get me some milk.
I asked about items that weren't on shelves. I was told that items will be stocked when the stocking person comes in.. probably on Tuesday.
I took what little items I had in my cart. I went to check out. There was only 1 register running, 7 people with carts in line, and they were training a new employee at that new register. One man yelled quite loudly they needed another register open. It was ignored. There were a few cashiers standing over to the side talking amongst each other.
After standing in line for 5 minutes with the line not moving and 2 people in front of me leaving I just left my cart sitting right there.
Now I feel guilty because I could have and should have backtracked and neatly returned all the items in my cart before exiting the store. Maybe I should have done that instead of wasting 5 minutes just standing there in line not moving.
Now that girl who couldn't get me milk because it wasn't in her job description is going to have to return all my items, plus 2 other people in line in front of me who left their carts.
I drove a mile down the road to another market. I got everything I needed, plus there were 5 registers open and 3 self checkouts. I got what I wanted, checked out quickly and went home.
I feel guilty though.
Have you ever left a cart of items and left a store?
