#832 Finding an employee in a supermarket to help you find something

The only thing harder than finding that thing you were looking for is finding someone to help you find that thing you're looking for.

Does anyone else consider asking a random person who looks like a supermarket veteran to help you find the unfindable?

It's just slightly annoying.

#918 Shopping carts with one bad wheel

Forget joyriding carts down the empty aisles of the grocery store and across vast parking lots. Instead, enjoy exerting double the effort to push your screeching cart with great dissatisfaction around corners and customers.

It's just slightly annoying.

#929 Having to wait even when you got in the 10 items or less line

I feel like I'm doing some sort of service by keeping my shopping list below 10 items. It's a service to the cashier, the grocery store and the world. I always think "oh, the cashier will be so happy that they only have to check out my 10 items or less and not some shopping cart full of stuff."
Judging by the pictures on this express lane,
this seems like a fun place to shop.

By purposely limiting the grocery list, simply not needing a lot of groceries, or even having few items by chance, there should be some sort of gratification you receive in return. That gratification should come in the form of an extremely brief waiting time. Waiting in line isn't something you'd expect to do in the 10 items or less line. If everyone actually does have 10 items or less, there shouldn't be a long line, if any at all. This is the express line, let's keep it express.

It's just slightly annoying.
