I have never hated a grocery store with so much passion. It's not the above average prices. It's not the poor fruit and veggie quality. It's not the weekly specials that are always out of stock. It's the horrible, horrible cashiers. I don't expect much service from them, but these folks are absolutely irritating.
Many of the cashiers will absolutely fight you on using manufacturer coupons. Yes, even the ones that are obviously printed by the manufacturer and legit. I've never had so much trouble using coupons at a store.
And we had one cashier who would refuse to pack my groceries. I had opened up my shopping bag for her (I brought my own), and she placed my groceries BESIDE the bag that I was holding open. I asked if she could place them inside the bag. She said she'd do it later because she was busy. Are you kidding me? Just place the groceries in the bag! It takes no more effort and would probably make your line go faster! Argh!
And the greatest bit. One of the cashiers lost my air miles card, refused to own up to it and then said: "Just order another one" in the most snarky and uncaring tone she could muster. Thanks Metro.
I hate this store..
