Shopping etiquette

If you’re seeking a pleasant shopping experience at the Supermarket all you have to do is bear in mind certain basic etiquette tips. Follow these and you’ll create a satisfying shopping experience for yourself and your fellow shoppers.

1) Never abandon your cart to look for items further down the aisle.

2) Keep the cart in front of you at all times. If you are looking for items on the left side of the aisle, you must remain on the left side of the aisle (not the center and not the right side).

3) Never lose your temper at elderly people, disabled people, or children. When dealing with these fellow shoppers maintain the utmost respect and exercise a great deal of patience.

4) Do not bring your children to the store if they do not know how to behave appropriately in public or if you are unable to effectively control their behaviour.

5) Refrain from giving the right-away to shoppers in the main aisle. When you come to the end of aisle three, stop, look both ways, and, if there is no oncoming traffic, proceed in an orderly fashion.

6) When you are through checking out, take your cart with you, and don’t leave it there for the person behind you to push out of the way.
