Supermarkets, K-Mart. Can't live with em, can't live without em. They have lots of stuff that you need to buy, but the people who work there, including the managers just don't seem to care. I was just at Lucky supermarket. Sometimes after hearing their annoying commercials with that Rose Parade lady I swear I'll never shop there again, but it is convenient. I tend to shop late in the evening, say 11 pm or so. They especially don't care about you, the customer, when you shop at those hours. Aside from sometimes not having enough people staffed, they are in the process of restocking the shelves and don't seem very concerned that you can't see the stuff that you came to buy. I mean I dunno what they should do, but how can they have the store open and have boxes blocking your view of the shevles to see which items are KEY BUY PRICED. I mean they offer to get what I want for me if the boxes are in the way, but I want a clear view of the merchandise to decide what I want to buy. And I go and tell the manager about this problem, and he doesn't seem too concerned. After all, why should he. His job doesn't depend on my satisfaction. And as for those KEY BUYS and the idea of coupons.....they ought to have a law against them, or they should give tax breaks to those stores which just have all low prices and no coupons and specially KEY BUY prices. It's all a waste of time. I just want to go to the store and get what I want and pay for it and be out of there. I don't want any hassles. I don't want to small talk with the cashier, I just want to get my groceries without a hassle. Forgive me if this last paragraph is not coherent. I just came back from Lucky and it's late and I havent eaten dinner yet. Like I said. Supermarkets. Can't live with em, can't live without em.
