Although the grocery store doesn’t have stop signs and yields, there are common rules of traffic flow that every shopper is to abide by. Furthermore, there’s grocery shopping etiquette that is important to follow. One of the most commonly known polite etiquettes is putting your shopping cart back where it belongs when you are finished with it. Obviously, not everyone does it. There’s many more on the list below…

• Leaving a Shopping Cart in the Parking Lot

  Share

  Probably the most popularly known. Always put your cart back people...and push it into the cart in front of you.

• Leaving the Checkout Isle for Another Item

  Share

  Get everything you need BEFORE checking out.

• Blocking the Isle With Your Cart

  Share

  Just park it to the side as you would when driving a car!
• Cutting the Line

  Share

  This doesn't only apply to shopping at grocery stores...

• Cheating the Express Line

  Share

  If it says 10 items or less, you ought to have 10 items or less.

• Kids Misbehaving

  Share

  Make sure if your kids are coming with you, that they don't knock things over or lick the frozen isle glasses.
• Not Putting Items Back You No Longer Want

  Share

  If you end up not needing an item in your cart, don't just place it on a random shelf. You can actually take it to the cash register and tell them you don't need it.

• Sampling Food When It’s Not A Sample

  Share

  For safe health practices we advise you to not sample the food that isn't at the sampling station. It's just gross.
