Stop it. Please. *really long, with swearing*

Don't wait till you get to the checkout to decide what you are going to buy. I remember a mom and daughter who played the "Don't want that, want that!" game in front of me.

Argh! I hate that one! Usually they do it when they realise that they have $100 worth of stuff in the trolley, and only $20 in their wallet. People! Work out how much you can spend BEFORE you start piling crap in there!

And #35:

If you know you're going to be buying a lot of stuff, please, PLEASE don't wait until we're just about to close before you come to the registers.
I had a couple once who came up at 8:55pm (we close at 9) with not one, but two trolleys full of stuff. It took 15 minutes to sort them out, they bought $400 worth of groceries, and the security guy was utterly enraged, since he can't leave until whoever's doing the close does. I forgave them, because at least they realised they were being a pain (and I got overtime ).

Actually, something very much like this list of rules was posted a while back. I remember it, as we there was the Infamous Rule #8, but I don't remember the name of the thread, and frankly, am far too lazy on my First Day Off In Forever to bother looking for it.

Jester, that thread was a tongue in cheek one telling sucky customers what sucky things they must do at the grocery store in order to get in their full 8 servings of suck per day.

I'd like to add:

39. Just because the clerk says, "Hi, how are you today?," they don't really want to know the details. And the customers who are waiting don't want to hear the details. Just say, "Fine" or "Doing okay" or whatever brief, polite response you can come up with.

40. If you're limited by being on a fixed income, or just low on spending money, check the price of the items before you buy them. Don't make everyone and the cashier stand around while the bagger gets sent to check on the prices for half the items in your cart. You may not have a life, but other people do.

41. You're friends with the cashier? That's nice. But she's trying to do her job and she doesn't have time (and nobody else wants to wait) while you discuss with her your plans for Friday night, or the baby shower, or which dress to wear on Sunday.

And, adding to 14., if you want someone to check backstock, don't ask the cashier, find someone on the floor. And be frikkin' polite about it. Maybe they have it, maybe they don't. Just because you want it doesn't mean it will be magically conjured for you.

42. The change you pay with goes where you want the change you get back to go. If that's the counter, then so be it.

8 servings of suck.

That would be a great band name.
