Almost as silly as the Kroger in store shops which pay a LOT less than the easier pick up shops where you have to look at 6 things in produce, see if the produce man says hello as you position yourself where he can see you. Note if he looks at you makes eye contact, smiles and greets or perhaps only makes eye contact without a smile or greet. perhaps he makes a nasty look at you- nothing on the form about that oh well! nasty look produce people are safe as nasty looks are not on the report! And note if he has tats, jewelry, ( I often wonder if a watch or wedding ring counts as jewelry - hard to stand and stare to see wedding rings on fingers and watches often covered by shirts- OR are they only interested in knowing about jewelry like nose rings (yep I saw some of those on shops!) earrings, necklaces with Satan on them or some strange jewelry) a moustache, beard or glasses, figure out his age, height and how long his what color hair is--Is the hair wavy, curly, pulled back or in braids? One store I shop has a man with some hair illness- his hair is black but depending on when you shop he has large white spots in throughout his head- something his hair looks more black than white - very hard to count the spots and figure out whether his hair is black or white on that visit. Poor guy feel sorry for him especially as he never looks at me or says anything to anyone as far as I can tell! Do not forget to check the front page meat ad items and 6 items in meat, 2 milk items half and gallon size and counting days ahead by 10, seeing if the meat man greets you as you stand there looking like a dork staring in the meat case with no idea of buying anything! What the heck do you say when they ask what you want? Geez, I am a shopper trying to see if you say hello, smile make eye contact, one or two of the above or perhaps none of the above? See if the cheese lady says hi as you count how many cheese varieties are there that meet the criteria with no thought of buying as the cheese costs more per pound that the $9.00 shop reimbursement for cheese you never heard of or wanted to buy! So you stand there counting cheese varieties with no intention of buying anything! Oh yes and do not forget to see if the courtesy desk is open and if the bathroom is clean even if you have no need to use the bathroom, along with checking the wipes and the parking lot. And of course full description of the produce man, cashier and bagger and note if they make eye contact, smile and greet you or if they do not smile, but make eye contact but not greet you, or if they greet you but do not smile or make eye contact, if they say thank you and invite you to return, perhaps say only have a good day and not invite you to return? Perhaps none of the above! Kinda ridiculous if you think about it. Squeezing roma tomatoes and picking up puff packs of ground beef, picking up packs of chicken to see if they are leaking, trying to figure out if 85% of items are in stock, seeing whether there is a blue tag or not- opening the milk case when you have no thought of purchasing milk to sniff if it smells clean---- oh my- just what I love to do in Krogers while buying only 3 items worth $9 seems like a waste of time? not enough reimbursement to buy any meat or anything of value- yet in order to get the pick ups you need to do these!
