People are going crazy

These are trying times for most people. We are all making choices.

At least they can find ground beef lol haven't been able to find any for the last two weeks.

The store by me had a whole bunch and it was 2.99 a pound for a family pack but it was limit one pack per family per day.

The wholesale club and Walmart were out, but I haven't tried Sobeys, zehrs or basics yet. I don't typically shop at Walmart anyway the one near my place is off of a major road and it's just a pain in the butt to get to.

This was at Basics. It was a club pack of lean

Oh nice! I'll have to check at mine, that's a decent price.

SOCIALISM!

J/K. Some blame corporate decisions on the government taking over freedoms.

I hate the idea of someone going without food. It is one of the reasons why I did deliveries for the food bank. I try to help where I can.

The fact that they gave you attitude when you were talking to them about the spaghetti sauce should have been a clue that they didn't want your help.

This. I cant imagine pushing myself onto others like this. There is being helpful and then theres being desperate and pathetic looking. OP, mind your own business. You didnt need to know how much their bill was. I can imagine you embarrassed them. And you damn sure didnt need to talk about them to the cashier behind their backs. That was so rude.

I wasn't pushing myself on them. They were a disable older couple and I tried to help with the spaghetti since I thought they couldn't see the spaghetti sauce. She was in a wheelchair and his shoulder was slumped to the point he couldn't look upwards.
As for them being in front of them I wasn't paying attention to them until they sounded upset about not having money. Then I saw the cashier handing the two bags to another cashier. I couldn't put my food on the conveyor belt because the woman was blocking the way. If I had been nosy I would have known they got cigarettes. I was willing to pay for their food. I understand these are trying times and people are short tempered. They bitched about people not helping them get food. I was willing to pay for their food.
I wasn't talking about them. I honestly wanted to know how two bags totaled $50. This isn't some upscale fancy grocery store. Besides I talk to the cashiers all the time. Most know me by name and many times the head cashier will ask me to go into a trainees line because I don't flip out when a mistake is made.

If each person (tween and older) in your family grabbed a pack of ground beef, went to a different register to pay......how would the store know you were family members. There is always a way around store limits.

You really do not see people doing that here. It’s a small town grocery store everyone seems to have respect for each other. Even the ones coming from the larger city. As I said in another post people seem more friendly and helpful right about now. I really do not think people are going to go out of their way to do this. Anyone who does is a ass

I don't know where people live on this site but in 44 years I've never met anyone like people encounter here on a daily basis.

I made it 48 years before I had my first encounter. A few months back and old man felt compelled to accuse me of using food stamps, and yesterday while shopping I got eye rolls and a wow when refuting my two carts...which a normal shopping trip for me.

For the most part I don’t talk to people in stores unless they say something to me first, and that’s only if they are being nice and polite. I ignore most rude people until I cant. They are a waste of my time and there are too many of them and the reason I hate most people.
They can flash me dirty looks or talk about me all they want. I don’t know them and people love to judge so have at it. Usually these kind of people are quite miserable in life. They have their own problems.
