Grocery stores in D.C. — there’s a lot to say about them, and not much of it is good. Um, they’re open sometimes. You can usually purchase items there. That’s good, right? Aside from that, D.C. supermarkets are best known for having poor selection, long lines, a questionable level of cleanliness, unhelpful staff, crazy customers, and on and on. Today’s overheard comes from a grocery store PA announcement.

They ought to bring Friendliness also.

Overheard of the Week

At the Safeway in Southeast:

A clerk makes an announcement over the PA speakers:

“Honesty to customer service. Honesty, please come to customer service.”

After the jump, more grocery shenanigans, cursing at mom, and enunciation.

There’s been a lot of good stuff coming in, so keep it up! overheardindc (at) gmail (dot) com
