Some take aways from shopping amongst crushing hoards which you may employ:
1. If you can opt for one of those two tier half carts, do it.
2. If you have a kid with you and it's super crowded, do not let them push the cart, tiny or otherwise.
3. If there's one area that is particularly tight AND crowded, like the corner where the meat case meets the tasting station at Trader Joe's, park your cart in a nearby, unobtrusive spot and do a "snatch and grab" for your much need tenderloins.
4. This is not the time to read the labels on each and every type of trail mix and snacking nuts TJ's offers. Skip it. You can do it next time.
5. Pay attention to the people around you.
6. Be polite: "Please," "Thank you," "Do you have a bottle opener on your keys?" they go a long way.
7. Double check your list before you get in line.
8. Do not park your cart in line and then turn to me and say, "I'll be right back. Watch my cart, 'kay?"
9. And for the love of all that is holy, Bag your own damn groceries. They are yours after all.
