Hey Pandas, What's The Most Awkward Thing That Has Happened To You In A Grocery Store? (Closed)

My son was a preemie and small for his age. He hated to be confined, but in the grocery store I made him sit in the cart's child seat for his safety and my sanity. After multiple attempts to get down from the cart and being firmly told he was NOT going to run free in the store, this tiny guy who looked about two years old sat in the cart repeatedly yelling "POOR LITTLE BOY!" as I cringed my way through the aisles.

I got separated from my dad in a walgreens.... Thinking i found him, i walked up behind this guy and tapped his buckled knee (as a joke ya know) well it wasn't my dad and the man was old and fell... oops lol

Not exactly awkward, but I thought I might share. When I was ~2 years old, there was this abandoned squeaky toy on the floor of a store. My brother picked it up, and I started chasing him around for the toy. Eventually I caught up to him and got the toy, but it was really dusty (the floor it was on was really dusty too). But I still wanted it, so at the checkout, 2 year old me asked the cashier if I could keep it. I don't remember much after that but I guess that the cashier said yes because I still have it today!

This is bad. Walked into the store with my dad, and promptly started my period as we hit the entrance. Of course I didn't have any feminine hygiene products in my purse! Had to hide in the restroom while my dad went to get tampons to deliver to me. I was 30 years old.

I was shopping for some feminine products and this woman looked so confused and said “wow I don’t even know What kind to get! There’s so many, right?!”

So I spent about 5 minutes explaining to this woman how I used to work in retail and had to stock the feminine products and there were so many different kinds and I was overwhelmed. She laughed and then said “Hold on this girl is talking to me” and then removed her AirPod and asked what I was talking about...

Some random child (probably around 6 years old) kept following me and putting packets of condoms in my basket. Had to remove the condom packets about 4 times!

I’m a kid so for me it was my mom asked me to get some milk and gave me 20 bucks and waited in the car and once I got the milk I went to self checkout and it wasn’t working so I asked for helped and the guy who helped me had such an attitude and said ,”DID YOU READ THE SIGHN”? And the sighn was in the smallest print and said only credit cards

I apologized to a manakin for bumping into it with my trolley 🙄

Met my old lover in the grocery store, the snow was falling Christmas Eve. I stood behind her in the frozen foods, and I touched her on the sleeve. She didn't recognize the face at first, but then her eyes flew open wide. She went to hug me and she spilled her purse, and we laughed until we cried.

I dropped a container of ice cream on the floor, and it opened and went EVERYWHERE kinda funny, but embarrassing at the same time. If only the containers were slip proof.

One time we were at the shops and a worker smashed crates of sauce all over the ground and then just kept walking off.

I'm pretty sure just about everyone has done this but, when I was younger around 7/8 I lost my mom in the store and I saw someone I thought was my mom, and I yelled at the top of my lungs MOMMY and they was looked at me and I looked at them and I said "your not my mommy" and they burst out laughing and brought me to the front desk.

I broke a wine glass when I was like, 3. It was not on purpose. I felt so bad lol.

i knocked out an old lady with a coke bottle (it was an accident)

so, I work at my local IGA and I shelf stack the drink isle (aka isle 3 or 4) so long story short I was stacking coke bottles and one slipped out of my and when I was on an orange stool and knocked out an old lady and there were like 10 people looking at me like I've killed someone the embarrassing thing I did was laugh...

When my oldest son was about 4 or 5 he used to accuse me of running red lights if I would go through a yellow light.
It was the Christmas season and a major retail chain hired a police officer to sit by the entrance. As we were walking in, the officer asked "how are you" and my son said "my mom runs red lights." That's not the embarrassing part. I explained to my son I don't run red lights and he didn't need to tell the police. The next time we were in the same store, he walked up to the same cop and says " I'm not going to tell you what my mommy does." You guessed it. I was mortified.

My mother... let the door swing shut behind her as we were leaving, and another old lady tried to dash in... the door hit her in the fanny and she did a somersault. We boogied to the car as fast as we could.

Saw my ex in a store while with my dad who didn't know we dated. I was like "I don't feel good so bye!" At least we were exiting though, or else... That's why that was my only attempt at dating for the next 5 years. :l
