RUDE! You Should Stop Doing These 12 Things at Texas Grocery Stores
'Rude!' (Hey, we're guilty of some of these, too.) Here are 12 not-very-nice things some Texans need to stop doing when they're shopping at our grocery stores.
To be honest, I find most people in Longview and Tyler, Texas quite gracious in public places we share. At the same time, some didn't seem to get the 'memo' regarding how to treat people when, grocery shopping, for example.
I remember several times I watched someone have to deal with some of these rude behaviors. When I was a teenager and worked at Target, you wouldn't believe some of the interactions I would see while trying to peacefully get people checked out and on their way.
Hey, we all have days when we're struggling and can easily forget some of these. These are good reminders for us all.
There are some behaviors many of us have seen that may immediately come to mind. Brazenly cutting in line is a HUGE no-no. That should be a given. Insulting people seems fairly obvious, but I've still seen it happen. Heaven help the person who goes after the last bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos when THESE people are nearby.
At the same time, there are some less obvious social faux pas that some people either seem to be unaware of completely or, even worse, know they shouldn't engage in but choose to anyway.
We ran across a helpful list from Readers' Digest that outlined some of the rude behaviors we see, even here in the friendly state.
I'm curious how many of these you've seen while shopping here in Texas. Any other rude behaviors you'd add to this list? Let me know at tara.holley@townsquaremedia.com.
