Shoprite is the largest supermarket in Africa. After one of my many visits, i decided to write about the kinds of people you'll see at the mart.



1. The One Who Buys the Most Useless Items: You know that product you pass and think, “Who on Earth would buy this?” Well, this person buys all of those things.


2. The Parent Who’s Buying Their College Kid a Bunch of Stuff While They’re Home: From junk food to hygiene products, this college student is doing the best they can to get everything they need for the next semester while they’re home so they can spend their money on booze.


3. The College Kid Who Is Running Errands for Parents: Maybe they made an agreement: sure, we’ll buy you all this stuff while you’re home, but you have to run all of our errands. Not a bad deal, but this kid is always stressed, and crossing out a handwritten list that they can barely read.




4. The One With the Butt Crack: Even when they don’t have to bend over, they do. And you can basically see their entire butt. You honestly feel like this person is following you.




5. The Acquaintance You Try to Hide From: You’re minding your own business and have shopping to get done, and that chatty acquaintance you know through a friend of a friend of a friend who will totally remember you is there. You spend your entire shopping trip trying to hide from them, because you don’t have time to chat with someone whose name you can’t remember right now.


6. The One Talking Loudly On Their Cell Phone: In a matter of seconds in aisle 10, you’ve learned everything you need to know about this customer and more. You’d tell them to shut up, but you already know that they’re in a dispute with the court for assaulting someone at Shoprite the last time they were here.


7. The Out of Control Kids: They want everything, and they’re not afraid to ask their parents for it. And they’re less afraid of having a tantrum when they’re told that they can’t have the toy or treats they want.

8. The One With the Coupons: Bless you if you get stuck in line behind this one. They argue every coupon, have to speak with three different managers, and end up leaving without buying anything because they couldn’t get all the discounts they wanted.


9. The Man Who Does’t Really Know How to Shop: There’s always that man, probably a dad, strolling around the store like he’s never been there before. He’s constantly looking for an employee, but he doesn’t even know what they look like because he’s never been to Shoprite until today.


10. The Teens Who Are Obviously Shoplifting:They wander around the store, whispering to each other, laughing. Meanwhile, the belly under their shirts get bigger and more oddly shaped the longer they’re there.


11. The One With the Stuffed Shopping Cart: This shopping cart is so full that you wonder why it hasn’t collapsed. Also, you try to stay as far away from this customer as possible, because you don’t really want to help them if anything does fall. You also wonder how much they’re gonna pay.


12. In a rush customer: Some people come for shopping in a hurry. They literally run from one counter to another, picking stuff and without any trolley. They look for the shortest queue at the time of billing.



13. Couple:You can easily find couples shopping in a store. They are like one is saying the particular product is in need but the partner says there is no need. They argue more than they do shopping.


14. Confused Shopper: Some people look so confused while shopping. Firstly, they pick some products, and then they keep them back, a few minutes later they again make up mind to buy those products.




15. Those that are there to take photos: They push the shopping trolley snapping pictures and at the end leave empty handed.




16. The babes/guys finder: This is the most common. The sole aim of these both sex is to find a date, spouse,or sex-mate. They'll seem to disappear after accomplishing their mission. Some will fake a call just to get out.


17: The Complaining Customer: These are the types of people you find arguing in every shop you find them and they are so rude, you hear them talk across the hall. It’s either they think the item is fake, it’s over priced, they are not being treated fairly etc. They always seems to be full of themselves and these are the people you hear them say, “Do you know who I am?”
What type of person do you always run into at Shoprite? Serve it to us in the comments!
