One of the main reasons that I quit Costco here in Canada was the behaviour of other customers. Really entitled, rude and obnoxious in LdnOnt.

Yeah I get that but the section where the meats are is really wide so he could have been parallel but not right against the case and wouldn’t have blocked the aisle.
Is the the new cartpool lane I’ve been hearing so much about?

I would totally either ram a cart into the back of that car, or use several carts to pen it in.

Ziptie a row of stacked/fitted carts to the back of the corral.

I see that often, locally. Motorcycles and cars blocking the parked car sometimes, too.
Good thing the license plate is visible. On the off chance it is the store owner, I’d just mention it to them. However if it is for disabled parking and the car is not showing a plate or placard the, off with their heads!
This is the cart return corral.

Does it say cart corral anywhere? The ones I’ve used would be hard to mistake for a parking space!
True, but then again you don’t often see a parking space with barriers on either side.

Also true! You won’t see me parked there! OTOH, you might see me dawdling in my car, looking at the space and 
“which of these things are not like the others?”.

Haha-so the shrimp were not snobs then but humble? hah!
Asking for it.
A new one: ShopRite in Aberdeen had Campari tomatoes on sale outside as you walked in. It was raining so I went in, figuring I’d pick them up there, but no, the produce guy said all that were left were outside. Of course, by now I had stuff in my cart so I couldn’t just take it back outside. (I ended up parking it at the service desk.) His decision to put all the stock outside was not well thought out.
I also hate it when something is on sale, and all the flavors/varieties I want are out of stock. Today it was both varieties of bistro salad, and one of the frozen entrees I wanted. (And another was hiding behind a different variety altogether.) I know–it’s just that I like the most popular ones.

Oldie, but this made me laugh, as I could only think of the cats I have/had. They all love to squeeze into tight and cozy spaces, so anything with sides and railings are apparently the best spots. This must be one of the cat/car hybrids.
I’ve experienced this twice recently, so this is top of mind (sorry if it’s a repeat):
I get very annoyed when they shift things around to “hide” an empty spot on a shelf or fridge when something is out of stock. They’ll fill the spot with nearby items and often take the aisle label/signs away. This has led to countless times my looking for something where it should be, and walking back and forth, thinking to myself that I’m crazy or going blind. This has happened with sales items that are sold out, or regular items between stock. Why, grocery stores, do you insist on infuriating me and making me spend 20-30 minutes walking up and down the same aisles wondering if I’m stupid or that a store randomly stopped carrying a product that every other grocery store sells? Just leave the spot there! We can easily see it’s out of stock and move on. Is it really that important to get those 10-20 extra cans of beans on that shelf for customers to buy?

Even more annoying is when someone (presumably not an employee) moves stuff around or puts stuff back, but puts product A in front of all the product B (e.g., puts a blueberry yogurt in front of the row of coffee yogurts). I end up having to read all the labels to find where what I want is supposed to be, and maybe it’s there hiding, and maybe it isn’t.

Ima real fast walker and absolutely hate being stuck behind slow peeps — anywhere, actually, not just at the supermarket.
