One of the musts that come with keeping a house, whether you’ve got a fully functioning four-bedroom or a simple studio apartment, is keeping your pantry, your refrigerator and your supply closets well stocked. Regardless of how often you make that essential trip to the supermarket, it’s important to keep to the rules of etiquette. After all, everyone’s got shopping lists to get through and it’ll help to stick within the rules, to help all shoppers move smoothly through their To Do’s!
Respect everyone’s space.
Supermarket aisles don’t exactly provide the widest, freest space for shoppers. It might take some delicate maneuvering to ensure that your cart isn’t blocking an entire aisle and causing cart traffic. Be mindful of where you park your things, try not to dominate any one area so that the flow of people is regulated, and you don’t get into a jam with fellow customers.
Watch over the kids.
Most kids love a trip to the grocery store. There’s just so much for them to see, a lot of space to run around with, candy to pull off the shelves, and carts to sit and speed on. As a general rule, parents should keep their eyes on their tots at all times—more than that, however, moms and dads should also make sure their kids sit well-behaved and don’t cause a ruckus, disturbing the supermarket peace. If you see a rowdy bunch of kids running past you though, try to be as understanding and patient as possible—chances are those kids are stressing out their mother more than you.
Don’t be a lazy returner.
It happens all the time. Something catches your eye—a pint of ice cream or a 10-pack box of assorted cereal. You go about your own business, roaming the aisles and 30 minutes later you decide you don’t want that cereal anymore. Do you suffer through the trip back to where you started or do you shelf your cereal on the wrong aisle instead? Give the grocery store employees a break and help keep things in their proper place. You owe them that.
Stay patient at the register.
Don’t heave and ho and tap your feet when the person in front of you is taking forever—unfortunately for you, he got there first and deserves the spot, no matter how long he takes. If it’s the person at the cash register taking forever ringing you up, try to be as diplomatic as possible. Nobody likes a dramatic scene at a place as mundane as the supermarket.
