Little-known fact: Marty Feldman was one of the co-authors of Monty Python’s “The Four Yorkshiremen” sketch.
Don’t these ijuts understand that swiping a debit card is the same as writing a check? Even Food Stamps are on a debit card.
“My favorite is the person who watches the clerk check out everything and THEN pulls out the checkbook and starts writing.”
You mean a woman.
Same thing I thought when I saw the photo!! Think the bug-eyed folks are related, or all on crystal meth or something?
“Now get off my back before I block you on the soda aisle too.”
Just keep out of the liquor department.
I know, just looking at the pix on this thread has me creeped out. Imagine coming across one of these whackos in the parking lot?
Close call, but I’ll go with the NH perv..... ;-)
O-h-h-h, man!
There’s nothing like some good “Tales From The Supermarket” stories to get me going. Gonna have to look for the home blood pressure kit. Or just hit the beers.
While we’re on the subject...when the heck did the grocery store become an ersatz amusement park for kids? I’m talking about those shopping carts that have a plastic car stuck on the front for the kiddies to ride around in. Those things clog up aisles left and right.
He looks like U. of Pittsburgh Coach (and former Miami Dolphins) Dave Wannstedt. If anyone can post a picture of Wannstedt, I think its a dead ringer.
I'd ask that question about their parents.
Let's not forget the parents that let their 'kittle angels' pachinko-ball these carts down the aisles. They are not guiltless and deserve a good hobbling.
Or how about the large family that although not causing trouble always takes up too much room in the aisles. Oh wait! That was my family.
I wonder if he’s “Reader11722” in the comments section.

C’mon up to Chicago one day and we’ll get liquored up while I push you up and down the aisles in a cart at our local Jewel (Albertson) store. Don’t worry; I know the police chief AND the liquor store owner.
Should be fun!
His name is Curcio, lots of those in the high school I went to in Yonkers. I wonder if he is a native from Yonkers?
My big annoyance is those little old ladies who either pay in one dollar bills or who insist on writing a check. Those who insist on paying with ones insist on fishing through their purses so that an order of $32.13 is paid with 32 ones and 13 pennies. The ones who write checks write their checks out like each one is the declaration of independence. Then, when they are asked for ID, they take about twenty minutes to find a driver’s license. Why go through it all? Why not just use a stinking debit card? The money will come straight out of your account, just like a check, and you don’t have to show ID or fill out those nauseating check balancing books because the debit is ALREADY SHOWN IN YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE!

Likewise, I have never (and never would) act on it.
I used to find that annoying as well; but, when you discover how often scanners are wrong in favor of the store, watching every entry makes sense.
I now try to have all my groceries unloaded BEFORE the clerk starts scanning.
I do, however, use my debit card rather than writing a check. So, I don't hold up the line unless the store has overcharged me.
