Black People in Grocery Stores

=MattsyKun Aug 18, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I work in a grocery store, and I've learned to start avoiding some customers and taking on others. I'm not talking about all, black people, though. I'm not trying to be rude about people that have to use foodstamps, I'm just ranting here XD

First, they usually have their family members with them shopping. So they have their three carts divided into about 9000 different orders. They want the first order in paper, the second one in paper inside of plastic, and the third one double plastic. Then they have, like, 50000 packages of chicken and meat, as well as a bunch of completely unhealthy food and random shit. THEN one person pays with cash, the other with EBT/Food Stamps, and the third one with credit.

And GOD HELP YOU IF THEY HAVE WIC. Those damn things take forever! And usually there's always that one product that they have that's not on the WIC approved list, so I have to call a manager out to override the system (which sucks ass because the people who put the stuff in the computer are too damn lazy to mark things as WIC). And God help you even more if they've never done WIC before, or they're doing it for a family member (which, if they're not on the authorized list of signatures, they can't use them). Then you gotta turn off your light and wait for them to get the right stuff.

They also tend to get really mad if you tell them your coupons are wrong. There's this one black chick who photocopies her coupons, and when I told her that she couldn't use one of them, she blew up on me and wanted to see my manager. Then she complained about me, waited a day, then came BACK to complain about me! WTF! I'm just doin' my job here, bitch! She came back through today, and one of my managers was keeping a close eye on her and her coupons. :I

Ugh. Black people are SO DAMN COMPLICATED WITH GROCERY SHOPPING. JUST GET YOUR SHIT AND GO HOME!

Un-Complaint: Got new ISP, fucking glorious. I love you Frontier.

Funny, black people around here don't do that. Usually it's middle eastern people who bitch and whine about shit like that and to make it worse, they aren't wearing any deodorant when they want to whine and demand shit. The other thing they do is try and cut in line just to ask a question, knowing full well they are cutting 5 other people who have questions too.

Assholes in stores knows no color. People just think its cool to be a shithead even though they would hate it if it was done to them.

Are you sure they're photocopied and not just online coupons she printed at home?

Also, lots of people use multiple carts. It helps prevent cross-contamination from raw meat to other foods, and makes the bagger's job easier since shit is sorted for them.

It doesn't matter if it's black and white or in colour. As long as they're legit and having nothing strange about them they're valid.

There are things to look for on a printable coupon. The veri-code, which can be used to trace back to the computer used to print it, is supposed to be unique for each coupon printed off at home. So if someone hands you two coupons for the same product and both the codes are the same one of them is photocopied. Even websites that print off coupons don't always change the code if you print them twice.

I'm always a bit worried about the brand merch coupons that people print off for that reason. Obviously if a coupon that said you could get a 12 pack of soda for free just purchasing it alone is a dead ringer for a fake coupon. I wish more people knew that photocopying and selling coupons is illegal. Just because they go through doesn't mean the store or the manufacture will be reimbursed for the coupon. It's just the same as using fake money or stealing.

I also wish people would actually take time to look at their coupons to use what they can use them for. xD I always have people trying to use Glade refill coupons for the plugin.

Wrong person to reply to, lol.

Most of her coupons looked as if they had been printed off. They were in colour, albeit they looked like the printer ink was running out. But this one looked as if it had been photocopied. It looked NOTHING like the other coupons.

And I totally understand multiple carts. I don't mind them (but once I get to three carts, I begin to rage a bit). They usually have multiple orders in ONE cart. And they don't tell me when to stop most of the time.

Annoying white people on planet earth is also pretty terrible, let me tell yas.

Plus we crackers can't dance. Or jump.

I've always wanted to be able to jump.

It's tragic.

Eh, I dunno. I'm in love with a cracker and they can do some impressive jumping!
