Random Gripes you Wish to Express...

Really? It's no wonder I am not aware because my ex did all my management science homework. hahaha.

I think SM's queuing system is stupid because sometimes even when there are a lot of cart lanes that are free they don't let people with baskets fall in line there. Isn't that stupid?

A little workaround I do if ever I go to an sm grocery. It's rare I do my bulk purchases from them anyway so I make sure when I enter I have a cart and a basket inside. I pick up what I need then come checkout time I check which lanes have shorter queues. Most often than not the big cart lanes have one to none while the basket lanes have their zigzag queue. Off to the big cart lanes then. They can't turn me down as I've a big cart despite having very few items.

Exactly my gripe. It's like their cashiers are robots who can't analyse the situation. They would only check you out on the cart lane if your items are on a cart even if it's just 5 items there. But won't let you if you have your 5 items on a basket.

Probably just conscious of what their bosses tell them. If they allow and are seen by their supervisors, goodbye. I've long given up on using logic with sm people. I just look for workarounds so my BP stays sane

I can't take the multitude of people at Landmark. Rustans and C&C is good. I like Rustans because I almost always get free parking when I use them in makati. S&R has been our go to destination for bulk groceries.

I stopped going to Landmark this year because parking is a nightmare

My issue with S&R is you can't do full grocery there because they don't have much local products, like my favorite Jufran banana catsup

Another option is shopwise. I like that they opened at paseo since we always use that route during weekends.

Huh. Rustan's is still around? My mom used to stop there and get a few things on the way home (from Clark AB).

Why would you think that isn't around anymore? They are in the same spot in Ayala.

Then you'd be pleased to know that Gaisano is still alive and kicking down south, and making inroads(albeit slowly) in Metro Manila. Even HappyMart is still selling piles of briefs out in the open ^_^
