This weekend will be one of the busiest weekends at grocery stores across New York as people get ready for Thanksgiving.
If you will be out and about loading up the biggest “eating” holiday of the year, make sure you don’t do any of these things.
If you do, you will be considered a “Big Jerk”
Here Are 7 Things NOT To Do When Shopping This Weekend.
1. Talk On The Phone While Shopping – Having a loud conversation in a crowded store is annoying enough, but if the person on the phone isn’t paying attention and blocking you it is even worse.
2. Shop And Eat – You see them every time you go grocery shopping…..grazers. People who munch and shop. Are you really that hungry you can’t wait 20 minutes to pay for your food and then eat it?
3. Shoplift – Stealing is bad, plus the more people steal the higher the costs are for items that we non-stealers buy fair and square.
4. Don’t Put Stuff Back Where It Is Suppose To Go – Ok…you thought you wanted that rice, but now two aisles later you decided you wanted pasta instead. Just don’t put the rice back in the pasta aisle, walk back and put it where it belongs.
5. Scan Too Slow In Self-Checkout – If you are unsure of how to use the self-checkout or if you have a whole cart full of stuff, just skip the self-checkout. It is meant to be quick and easy.
6. Block The Whole Aisle With Your Cart – The aisles in a grocery store are not huge, but if you leave your cart in the middle of the aisle and then good look for stuff you are a bad person.
7. Bring The Whole Family – Sure sometimes parents have to bring the kids to go shopping, but if you are bringing every member of your family every time, you’re crazy. More people in the store means less room and long lines. Also, feel free to leave your uncle and aunt at home.
Is there anything you would add to the list? If so let me know HERE.
These Are the 12 Biggest Shopping Malls in Upstate New York
The size of the enclosed malls of Upstate New York covers a whole range of numbers. You have several large malls with between 50-100 stores, and then you have several behemoth malls which host much more than that. For example, #12 on this list has 55 stores and has been open for more than 50 years. Sounds like a pretty respectable mall, doesn’t it? Compare that to the #2 on this list which is so large it has more than 18,000 parking spaces!
In this gallery, we have also mentioned some of the original anchor stores for these malls dating back to when they opened. It is fun to hear the old names like Sibley’s, Filenes, McCurdy’s, and G. Fox and Company again. Here are the 12 largest enclosed malls in Upstate New York. (We include all regions of Upstate including the upper and lower Hudson Valley. This list does not reflect the large malls of metropolitan New York City or Long Island).
