so i got back from the supermarket a few minutes ago........

[sublime]

old people are to supermarkets as young kids are to malls.

seriosly, they like hang out there. i mean WTF, i am trying to get down an aisle to buy some jelly, and this geezer is like studying the different varietys of jelly. i cant get by her, because an employee is doing some stocking. i mean, really, she knows she is gonna buy the same fcking jelly she has bought for the past 30 years, so why the delay? is it exciting to flirt with the strawberry jam?

EVERYWHERE....gray hair!!!!!!!!!

[kerssens]

Yes!! I thought I was alone in my fight against old people.

My experience a couple weeks ago (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=2038375&page=&view=&sb=5& o=&fpart=all&vc=1)

[jakethebake]

There was a grocery near my old house that was awesome. They had the best selection. The store was always clean. The employees were courteous. Prices were comparable to others. But the reason I rarely went was this exact reason.

First, the parking lot scared the [censored] out of me. It was always full of these tiny little old women circling like buzzards in their gimungous cadillacs and lincolns waiting for the the spot to open up that was two spaces closer than the one they passed up.

Then it always took forever to get in and out of the damn place. Between the biddies parking their baskets in the middle of the aisle while they wandered off in some alzheimers-induced daze and the conversations they had about their grandchildren with the checkout girls (the checkout girls seemed to somehow look like every single old ladies granddaughter) a sixer of beer would take 2 hours to get home with.

Weird, when I was in FLA there were 2 supermarkets (both Publix) within 5 minutes of each other. One always seemed to have only old people and the other always seemed to have a mix. Luckily, the one with a mix sold Krispy Kreme's so we were good to go.

Edit- this is what you get for living in FLA

no, but i can imagine. i have the same problem with the mall. little fcuks everywhere who dont have any fcking money. when i was there age i was out trying to make a buck. well, at leats there are chicks at the mall. well, supermarket also but i am usually stressed to the max by the time i enter the joint.

Do you grocery shopping after 4pm on a weekday. They all go to Denny's for the early bird then.

[slickpoppa]

Yeah, I worked at a Supermarket for a couple of years in high school and the old people were cancerous. They go everyday and buy like two things just because they have nothing better to do. And they always pay with fvcking checks.

The best way to avoid them is to go at the right time. Around 4pm is the best. The store will be more crowded then, but the old people will be replaced with MILFS.

[Jazza]

seriously dude, can we paper-rock-scissors for the rights to the zoolander avatar?

[slickpoppa]

there can be multiple zoolander avatars as long as they are different

A couple of years ago I was in a supermarket in LA (Ralph's FreshFare at Beverly and Doheny) and I broke up a fight between two old men. It seems that one of them was being greedy and helping himself to too many of the free cheese squares on a platter near the deli area, and the other took offense. I physically separated and scolded them. Later, as I was checking out, one of them was in line ahead of me. The other came flying out of one of the aisles and tried to fight again, and AGAIN I had to get between them. They were both at least 70.

Dangerous, man.

[swede123]

Haha, this is the thread of the day, I laughed out loud at least three times browsing through this. Seriously guys, old people are worth it just because of the screwed up things they do that give the rest of us funny things to talk about.

My grandpa was a cook in WWII. He put laxatives in the German POW's food.

[kerssens]

Thats a funny story. I especially like how you scolded them.

Next time put their basket in a different aisle when they're wandering off and watch what happens. The alzheimer induced daze is gone quickly, instead you'll see fear because they realise they just had an alzheimer induced daze /images/graemlins/grin.gif.

I may try that. Or else just add a bunch of stuff to their basket. Like a 12 bottles of booze or something.

That reminds me of my grandmother's wedding day. We'd all just gotten back to her house after the reception. I go out to the garage with my aunt's boyfriend (Grandma keeps the beer out there). We open the refrigerator and there's this 2 gallon plastic jug of olive oil and it's wrapped in plastic shrink wrap. I'm like WTF? Frank says, "Grandma and Ray (her new hubby) will be breaking that out later tonite." /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I imagine that many people had similar expressions after reading this. It probably went something like this /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

If you go shopping late at night, you won't have a problem.

Old people don't go out after dark.

(Unless it's still dark when they get up at 4:30)

Try living in FL! Grocery stores and the banks, as both give out free coffee and doughnuts. In high school and college, we called them "Q-tips", as all you would see in cars was their silver/gray hair. Looked like a Q-tip driving the car! /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Late at night? In FL, the Q-tips ate dinner at like 4:00-4:30 (love their "early bird" specials) and were in bed by 6:30-7:00.
