Sample Table/Booth Behavior
SMS
and booths in stores like Costco and Trader Joe's. Often they'll take a
sample, and rather than moving along, they'll stand right in front of
the table blocking access for everyone else, and often dribbling crumbs
over the table. At Costco they'll often block the aisle with their carts
as well.
What's the least offensive way to get these clueless and inconsiderate
people to move along?
Sometimes I use "hot food comin' through" or "please don't block the
aisle," which are marginally effective.
I also wish that the Costco's here would give samples of items like
wine, beer, and liquor. I was at a Costco in Seoul Korea, and they
sampled these items.

How about a polite "excuse me" in a voice loud enough to hear and not
so loud as to be rude?

Just a simple (and polite - with a smile) 'excuse me' or 'pardon' usually
does the trick for me.
Where I have a bigger problem of customers not moving along quick enough is
often times at the checkout counter after they have paid for their goods and
the cashier has handed back their change or credit/debit card.
Many customers seem to take their sweet time in putting back the change (or
credit card) back in their wallet (and especially purses), not budging an
even an inch away from the credit/debit card machine often used nowadays.
Often times the cashier has finished ringing up *my* items and the cashier
and I still have to wait for the previous customer to clear away from the
checkstand so I can slide my credit card through the credit card reader and
complete my transaction. This repeated, slows the whole line down.
Come'on, how long should it take to put ones credit card or cash away?
And if someone decides then and now is the time to reorganize their purse
(which appears to be the case too many times), why can't they just take
several steps further down the checkout stand so they don't block the
credit/debit card reader for other customers?
Grrrrr.

well, once you have finished eating your sample that came on a nice, sharp

Never mind the sample area, how do you get people to get their carts and

As for behavior...Rarely does the product grab me enough to buy it.

They have an "off sale" license, so they are limited to free samples
of 1 oz of beer and wine or 1/4 oz of distilled spirits. Further, no
more than a total of 3 samples can be given to one individual in one
day. A minimum wage worker dispensing the samples may have a hard
time keeping track of all that. You can bet, however, some asshole ABC
agent would have no problem at all...It just doesn't seem that it's
worth the risk/hassle.

Of course, that's after the idiots started searching for their debit/
credit cards AFTER all their items have been rung up...
Ciccio
Peter Lawrence
But what I find very ironic, even those who wait until all their items have
been rung up to get out their cash or credit/debit card *always* seem to be
quicker in getting their card/cash out of their wallet/purse versus putting
the card/cash back inside. Never could understand the reason for that.

What rubs me raw is those people who put their groceries on the belt,
pick up the filled bag and just walk off leaving their cart to block
the isle. It has happened to me more times than I can count.

1. This cannot happen at Costco -- there is a cart wrangler at each
checkout.
2. Growing up I learned you empty your cart and push it ahead of you
so the bagger can put the filled bags in the cart so you can push it
to your car -- these other people were raised by wolves.
It is in fact harder to put cash neatly back into a wallet than to
pull it out. My new wallet is particularly obnoxious to use because
its zippered cash compartment (which I wanted for security) is
apparently a bit smaller than the US dollar bill.

This hovering behavior also occurs at bars, receptions where food is
presented on tables, farmers markets, etc. I am also annoyed by
it, because it seems that if 2% of the people present behave
this way, the other 98% are inconvenienced. People who have
already gotten their stuff should move away from an area where
other people desire service.
However I do not try to act on this by saying anything about it.

A similar, possibly related, behavior is what I see often when group (large
or small) of people leave a room, auditorium, concert hall, arena, or
stadium. They exit the door, tunnel, stairs of the section where they were
seated, and then just *stop*, blocking the path of everyone who is behind
them, instead of walking just a *little bit* further where they could stop
and regroup without causing such a log jam.

Given an object and a slot for the object that is roughly the same size
as the object, it is more difficult to take the object out of the slot
than putting it back.

I've never run into that problem, but an easy fix for that problem is
for the shopping center to put a floor directory at the top/bottom of

The last time I was at a farmers; market, a guy sampling stone fruits

Well, in my wallet, the cards pull out easily, but sometimes catch
on the leather when being shoved back in, and I sometimes have to
fumble with them. I should get a new wallet, where that wouldn't
be an issue, but then I'd have the learning curve of the new wallet.
So yeah, it can take me several seconds to get this done.
I think many people are just oblivious. I'm not as fast at doing
some of this stuff as when I was younger, but I'm aware people are
waiting and try to get out of the way. Sometimes I'll move "around
the corner" to the end of the checkstand, if I need to rearrange
my stuff in a way that works for me (checkers don't seem to care
much how practical their packing is).

I've noticed that even small children, e.g. at a school, will do
the analogous thing. They generally congregate in doorways or other
bottlenecks. I've concluded that it's something about the human
psyche, although I don't know what. I agree it's quite annoying.

Worse than that is when you're stuck on an escalator during a power

My cards are easier to put back than to take out, money (paper) is
harder to put into the wallet unless it's crisp and new.
Phil Gustafson
Whatever. I don't find it hard to retrieve a card, swipe it, replace
it, and poke all the buttons while the clerk is scanning my items. I'm
always done before s/he is, and it saves me time.
I share the general annoyance with people who wait until the bags are
packed before they remember, "Doh! I'm going to need money!"

I usually swipe my credit card while the cashier is ringing up my items.
The one exception, I've learned from experience, Target. Why? If the
cashier made a mistake (like rang up an item twice) and you have already
swiped your card, the cashier will make you go to the Customer Service line
to have it corrected instead of correcting the overcharge right there at the
cash register.
