Work'n at Hannaford's-Meredith couldn't compare to that!

Less, reading your description of what you would be like working at Hannaford's made me laugh, because it brought a memory back.

You might do the shopping world a favor FLL.

When I was an assitant at MB in high school, I got a friend of mine a job with me in the front end baggin' and shaggin', this was not his preferred style of work. Well about two weeks into his employment on a Saturday afternoon (very busy) he started bagging a customers order. Part way through that order the customer stopped him and barked at him that she wanted paper not plastic and demanded that he remove the items from that plastic and put them into paper bags. He started in on removing the items from one bag, stopped looked at the customer, told her where to go, turned around and walked out the door. Never came back. Boy I was mad at him at the time for doing that, cause I got it from my manager, but we still laugh about it whenever it comes up. I would be willing to bet that that woman does not speak to people in that type of position anymore.

My wife brings home stories of people running her over in carts, pinning her against cases, then giving her a blank stare and walking off. Had a guy knock over a complete display of food in her department last week with one of the powered carts and kicked the product out of the way so that he could proceed with his shopping.
