children should murder their parents for dragging them to the boring ass grocery store. i would act up and make life miserable for my parents and everyone else in the store if i was a rugrat forced to go grocery shopping.

Tho I can't stand the about 2-3 year old kids who are big enough to sorta walk but lack awareness of their surroundings. They always seem to run smack into my legs when I'm standing dead still in the store. And then they bounce off (maybe with a bit of help from a subtle leg flex) and fall on their asses and start bawling and everyone stares accusingly at the tallish dude with a crying kid sitting at his feet. Makes me wanna pick up the little fucker and drop kick him into the next aisle. And then yell at the parents to stop staring and go get their kid.

Reminds me of a month ago... Walking down the cereal isle there was this hokey looking 4 year old that was in his element... I had to stop because his toy cart was about to hit me. He finally noticed, froze, gazed up at me and I just smiled and walked around him

Then I heard really loud, "dad that guy is bigger than YOU!"

I wanted to circle back and high five him

MANY solutions keep me out of the grocery store completely.

I have been in before, and often felt bad for the 2-4yo kids riding in carts after midnight. WTF, get them kids in bed!

I do a lot of cooking and probably do the most grocery shopping.

I really really hate families shopping together. They clog the aisles, and every item on their list becomes an open referendum that needs a vote. You don't need 4 family members to get groceries.

the worst experience years ago working near Lincoln / Touhy we would occasionally try to grocery shop at the walmart out there in Niles after work before driving back into the city. The fucking southern asian families would have all 3 generations there, with their inchoate terrorist rugrats making aisles literally impassible. and then they would all stand in line together! WTF was the point of a dozen people all moving through the checkout together. I think the last time we tried we just abandoned our cart when we saw the line fuckery and went to the Cub foods down the down.

The most important lesson you can teach a child is that life is simply one boring mundane task after another and then simply getting ready to do more mundane tasks the next day until you die. If you are lucky, you die first and teach them the ultimate lesson that every person looks back on their life, doesn't remember 99.9% of it and therefore virtually every day of your entire life is like it never even happened.

That must have been a common thing in Sauganash. My mom used to shop at the National on Devon and Crawford which was almost across the street from our house and my sister and I liked to go but we fought so much my mom barred us from shopping trips for awhile.

Going shopping with my mom as a yute, I just remember the Brach's candy thing with all of the different candies. She would sprint that shopping cart by that damn thing. Later in life I happened to play the Par 3 Executive course at Torrey Pines with a Brach aire.
