Love to shop there, love to sa...I love Publix too! Love to shop there, love to save there (not so sure about that one). I have noticed that my grocery bill keeps creeping up and up!<br /><br />I know one of the baggers, Brian, and I say to him when he asks if I would like help out, "Brian, is my leg in a cast?" "No m'am", "Well then, no thanks for the help. Thanks anyway!" <br /><br />I like to shop at about 7:30 am on Sunday morning. I do believe there are times I am the only shopper in the store. It is a lovely thing! :)Darlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16278069278839684349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1138297462120947402.post-22737306619030676892012-02-27T17:30:40.782-05:002012-02-27T17:30:40.782-05:00No one ever asks me if I need help at the grocery ...No one ever asks me if I need help at the grocery store--of course, my husband, who is the chef, does most of the shopping! Yay, how lucky am I!sherri s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15270832904648602074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1138297462120947402.post-68442567368271278132012-02-27T15:37:31.617-05:002012-02-27T15:37:31.617-05:00I guess if they weren't so aggressive about it...I guess if they weren't so aggressive about it, it would be a different story but...living every day in the retail sector of the world is a different story.<br /><br />We have a young lady with us now who worked at Harris Teeter for 3 years. They had 7 things they had to either ask the customer or tell them. If they did not and it was a secret shopper they would be written up. One of these things was "Can we help you out to your car with that?" or something similiar. Now, I don't know about you but if my source of income was on the line I too would offer the service. <br /><br />I also shop at Publix and have for gosh going on 14 years. They know me, they ask about the girls, one of the older gentleman always asks how my tree hugger daughter is doing. I don't need my groceries taken out but sometimes he is so insistent that I have him do it. I enjoy the time to catch up with him and what he is up too.<br /><br />Being stuck in a store all day long smiling at people you don't know gets pretty tiring. Dealing with people you are trying to be nice to and who are as rude as rude can be gets exhausting. Having men stand there and watch you load a heavy piece of furniture into their pick up truck gets plain maddening.<br /><br />Sorry for the rant but...there is another side to the coin. I am with you when they get aggressive about it, some of them do. I just smile my sweet northern smile and say no thank you. Then run as fast as I can to my car.Colleenhttp://thefrugalfoodieskitchen.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1138297462120947402.post-29684090789446265412012-02-27T06:20:21.440-05:002012-02-27T06:20:21.440-05:00I'm with you.

Now, if they would ...I'm with you. I got it. <br /><br />Now, if they would come home and help put away the groceries, THAT is something I'd be interested in...angie128https://www.blogger.com/profile/16417807924759499655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1138297462120947402.post-87326528375247788772012-02-25T20:50:40.324-05:002012-02-25T20:50:40.324-05:00I am with ya there, sister.

It's a wonderful service for some folks, but I'll pass.KBhttp://kbroddey.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
