Caution, Wide Load!

November 1st 2006 16:23
A grocery store is a mom's biggest nightmare. I would really like to know who designed the check-out aisles vs. the grocery carts. Some stores offer carts that seat more than one child. Great! You think, untill checkout time....

We are all aware that the evil candy companies strategically place candy at the check out. Right within a child's grasp. But why in the heck do they design carts that are too wide to fit down the check-out aisle? There you are, a screaming 5 month old, tantrum throwing 3 year old, cart full of groceries, and a skinny aisle that is impossible to navigate through.


Waiting in line is stressful enough. You are fighting with your toddler as they rip through packs of cigarettes, throwing them on the floor. Why should American mom's have to worry about knocking products over and causing even more embarassment? And the looks you get from elderly people. At this point you want to strangle your kids. But, there is always someone just waiting for you to smack your kids so they can call the cops. If only the grocery store would widen their lanes, it would make life so much easier, not to mention... pleasant.

Just when I think my horrific shopping experience is at an end, I smack right into the door because my cart is so big, I can't see anything in front of it! And of course stuff falls out all over the floor. Short people beware! Shopping carts aren't only stressful, they're down right dangerous!

Evil Cart!

I hate the new check out at wallmart because you have to put your bags into your cart. So now I have to check to see things are ringing up right, Load my items onto the counter, put my items into my cart and manage 4 kids. I hate it so much I stopped shopping at wallmart. If i am going to spend my hard earned money in a store the franchise need to treat me like i am something special and be thankfull i am shopping in there store.

Yes, I've narrowed down the stores I will go to by how easily I can get through the aisles and check-out counter with kids.

Sooooooo true... I usually even manage to find the checkout lane with the pole smack in the middle of it and by the time I realize its there, a line has already formed behind me and I have no way out! I also just started shopping at an organic market place and they don't even have an option for 2 kids, so I end up putting the carseat of the little one across the cart and the toddler in the seat, but their carts are so small that now I have to lift the carseat (with 20 lb. baby inside) every time I want to put something in the basket! Arghhhhhh,,,there's got to be a better way!
