- Walking into an old lady’s pepperoni fart in the toilet paper aisle;
- 10 for 10 sales. Nobody needs 10 cans of refried beans;
- The chip aisle is deadly. I wound up buying Frito’s, Tortilla scoop chips, Pumpernickel and jalapeno cheese pretzels; 2 cans of sour cream and onion Pringles, Cheddar cheese Goldfish, and chilli cheese dip. Yep, I was starving when I went in there;
- The over-abundance of old people in the soup aisle, clogging it up like a turd in a toilet. Could not get to the Progresso soup cans and am still mad about it;
- You walk in and the make-up aisle is just right there, beckoning you to try a new shade of lipstick;
- The International aisle is too confusing, and I can never find the enchilada sauce;
- The bird section creeps me out;
- I have to ask people 1 or 2 times to move their cart constantly. On the third excuse me, I ram their cart a little bit to scare the shit out of them;
- Moms who grocery shop with kids in those super huge carts, then park them sideways so that aisle traffic is blocked in both directions;
- Every time I go there, I have a bag accident, today it was my hard salami falling on the ground, and 2 weeks ago my case of coke burst open and 12 cans rolled in front of oncoming traffic.
UUGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!













































Geeeez!!
You have a thing against old people.
And Oh My God I laughed out loud at the Pepperoni farts, thing. Now you know that you hung out just an extra second to figure out it was pepperoni. HA!!

Hell, I try not to breath in but I had to when I said excuse me 3 times to her. It seeped in, urghhh!! So gross. I am so not making that up either. And I have a thing against SLOW people, not just old.

The chip aisle IS a black hole.
We don’t have Meijers where I live but I go at least once when I go to Michigan…. I could have eaten a 7-course meal in the parking lot and I would still buy $42.37 in chips/fried things/orange popcorn.
DAMN YOU MEIJERS!!!!

This is a perfect description of what shopping at Meier is like. It’s like shopping at a Wal-Mart Superstore, only more chaotic (if that’s possible).
And for some reason, Meier brand stuff usually tastes icky to me.
I’ll just stick to our hellhole of a Kroger.

You should find a 24-hour store and shop at 2 A.M. on the weekend and you will eliminate four of these problems. You will still have to contend with the “deadly” chip aisle though.

another store us canucks don’t have… but thank goodness for that b/c I have enough issues of my own with our measly snack aisles!

That sounds like a truly wretched experience! So many smells…and old people…ugh. I am such a sucker when I grocery shop (especially if I’m hungry), I probably would have bought all the 10 for 10’s, convincing myself that refried beans were ohmygod so delicious when actually I don’t really like them.
But mmmmmmm jalapeno cheese pretzels.
