I can forgive them asking me; it may be difficult to tell the difference between a jalapeno and a serrano pepper, and they shouldn't have to put stickers on everything.
This is one of the reasons I use self checkout. It's faster to find the produce codes on the list and punch them in myself than it is to explain what all of my vegetables are.
Another pet peeve: giant bins full of non-grocery items taking up space. My local Krogers have stuffed animals, DVDs for sale (and the "Redbox" where you can rent DVDs that just takes up space
), and a bunch of other crap. Trying to compete with Wal-Mart, I guess. I'm not amused.
