4. People who abuse express lines...
5. Checkers who let people like this abuse express lines, instead of sending them...
6. Stores that aren't absolutely religious about removing expired items from the shelves.
7. Checkers who ask, "Credit or debit," when I give them my Amex Platinum
8. Checkers who get into protracted conversations with customers.
9. Panhandlers who stalk the exits and harass shoppers
10. Children who stalk the exits collecting money.. or whatever and harass shoppers
11. People who write checks for small purchases
12. People who say, "Wait, I think I have a penny," and then spend several minutes rummaging through their purse to find it
13. Shoppers who let their kids graze the produce...If you must steal food to pacify your kids, at least pull off a couple of grapes yourself ...The produce section isn't a buffet at the day care center.

Hmmmm. No wonder I don't like grocery shopping.
