They forgot "paycheck day"! I don't know how it is in the states but over here it seems like everyone gets their paycheck at the same time (by the end of the month) and the 3-4 days following are shopping nightmare! I'm lucky to get my paycheck abit earlier and finish my shopping before the chaos!
I prefer shopping on Saturday morning when people are still sleeping! :)

If the supermarket is in a business district (i.e. offices, municipal buildings, etc.) do NOT shop at lunchtime...typically between 11:30 and 2:00. Nothing annoys the other customers (or us) more than someone doing their weekly shopping at 12 noon on a weekday, when others are just trying to grab a sandwich or whatever and get back to their job in the alloted time. If you only have a half hour for lunch, do you want to be stuck behing the person ordering "a half pound of roast beef, a quarter pound of ham ..."? I think not. A little common sense goes a long way...unfortunately, most customers are oblivious to it.
