I stand there and look at it until a tall person happens by.

I admit I’m one of those idiots who sometimes climbs the shelves.

Same. I’ve climbed on shelves in dairy cases to get that last container of heavy cream or half & half

Did I post this already? In Safeway the bag of sweetener I wanted was on the top shelf, pushed back. A tall woman came by. “You’re tall,” I said. “I am,” she replied. She got the bag off the shelf. I said “Thanks. I owe you a jar opening.” She looked puzzled, and I mimed opening a pickle jar, and then she nodded and smiled.

I’ve been known to find a broom or a mop in the cleaning section to use the handle to hurl the item I want towards me

I do that, too, in my errant youth. Too dangerous now …

I thought about you today when I had to reach up really high to grab the sixpack of V-8 on the top shelf. I have an aquaitance who many many years ago was felled by a wall of groceries in a store. Horrible outcome, lifetime paralysis and yes, multiple lawsuits. Gotta be careful out there, everywhere.
New pet peeve today. Bags of flour which had been stacked on the shelf with a gaping slice mark at the top from the utility knife uncrating. C’mon, really?

When there is seven checkstands . Only one checkstand being used . A long line forming . This is why i have given up . I shop at the smaller grocery here in town . Friendly with better product and polite quick service. Pretty much the same price .

This happened to me recently while reaching to get a 12-pack of my desired flavor of La Croix soda water. Conked me so hard I saw stars.

I hope you reprted this!
Nah, it was all my fault. The only store fault is not restocking the lower shelves with the extra boxes they stage at the very top.

It’s called a trebuchet…
That explains a lot, now.

Pet peeve I’ve mostly encountered in Europe-- when I hand the cashier currency, but then the cashier places my change on the lucite table above the conveyor belt.
I get that it’s to try to prevent change from falling, but it does slow down the operation.

And the old chestnut for U.S. supermarkets (and other businesses) … not including the sales tax (if applicable) in the price. I like the Japanese way of showing the pre- (zeinuki) and post-tax (zeikomi) prices.
