RedScare Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 If I want to see Angry White People, I go to the Bunker Hill HEB or Central Market. Those places are full of Angry, Impatient, Entitled, Self Absorbed White People. Every time I go to one of them I get cart bumped, ran over, or scoweled at by women with perfect hair and nails.Of course they are all at Bunker Hill HEB. If you read back earlier in this thread, you can see all the snotty posts claiming that 11th Street Kroger "isn't good enough" and that they now do all of their shopping at Bunker Hill HEB. Add those angry white people (AWP for short) from the Heights to the indigenous AWP from the Bunker Hill and Galleria areas, and Voila!, you have a veritable angry white volcano!

Heightsfamily Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 And my husband still doesn't understand why this is the first site I check in the morning each day! Keeps me laughing lots.and for my two cents on grocery stores:I can drive to the Rice at Westheimer and Wesleyan, do my shopping and drive home in the time it takes me to go to the 11th street Kroger and stand in line (mostly). I get treated nicely by friendly people and buy cool national brand stuff that Kroger long ago removed from their shelves. Yes, it is a bit more expensive, but I did my own comparison shopping and it is not as bad as you would think. Surprisingly some things are more expensive at Kroger.Kroger long ago sized up our neighborhood and has us slotted in some specific way that certainly does not seem to fit me. BTW, I used to go to the West Gray store and just could not take the horrible check-out/bagging experience any longer.Any one want to talk about the post office?!

AtticaFlinch Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I'm going to have to visit this revamped 11th St Krogers to see the angry people. If they are even half as angry as the West Gray shoppers are creepy, that's saying something. But seriously, hope you guys will get the jaundiced, smelly old keyboard player dude. He's such a treasure for us Gray store shoppers. I actually heard some equally smelly and jaudiced shopper lady hovering around the wine sample table go over to him and request "Rhiannon."I think he reminds many of those old women of their old days, their college days, back when they were experimenting and before they met their River Oaks millionaire husbands, back when they used to flirt with grungy coffee shop guitarists. It was a simpler time. Most importantly, it was time before "Rhiannon" was a classic rock/Sunny 99.1 staple.If I want to see Angry White People, I go to the Bunker Hill HEB or Central Market. Those places are full of Angry, Impatient, Entitled, Self Absorbed White People. Every time I go to one of them I get cart bumped, ran over, or scoweled at by women with perfect hair and nails.Most of those perfectly coiffed, silicon enhanced banshees are just pissed because they have to venture to that side of I-10.Only if there are AWPs there.Dude... It's the post office. That's like the AWP Mecca.Next stop: Luby's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverJK Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 yet the workers at HEB at bunker hill are soo nice (at least from my experience there). I would say the AWP i've dealt with at Kroger are more aggressive and more likely to buggie bump, but maybe that is just because there is less room.

When I first moved to Houston from ___, I went to the Randalls on Voss and I just couldn't believe how many times AWPs would literally run over my heels with their grocery carts. In time though, I have found myself a bit annoyed trying to shop at central markup or whole paycheck trying to get through the aisle when a family/group of 8 people are blocking the entire cheese aisle learning about pecorino from the clerk (who doesn't even know that it has to be called pecorino romano to be the real deal.)

Yankee_in_TX Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Oh, the keyboard player is quite the treasure. They have one at the Buffalo Speedway location too. There's something so incredibly odd and awkward about the whole situation. But I suppose that for some of the older shoppers, the Kroger keyboard player's rendition of Rhiannon is the highlight of their week.You push your cart that much faster, thinking "God, please don't let him pick now to start audience participation....!"

20thStDad Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Most of the angry white people are angry when a Starbucks isn't open or when they have to go more than 40 ft to get to one. I am angry that Starbucks exists, or that anyone would waste $4-$7 on a drink that has no alcohol in it. Dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were finally allowed to close around 10 AM on the Friday of (the same day the storm hit). I was helping them close up so we could go hunker down.I have NEVER seen so many AWP's in my life. People were banging on the doors, demanding they open back up and brew coffee so that the AWP's could get on the road to evecuate (too little, too late my friends). Never mind the well being of the workers, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally do not care for this Kroger, but its only 5 blocks from the house, and usually all I need is coffee and cereal anyways, so its not a big deal. I guess I am either blind to it, or everyone here complaining about angry white people, are WAY to thin skinned and need to get over themselves and find something else to complain about...

AWPs posts are an observation about just how rude people can get lately- but for some unknown reason they feel justified in doing it. (Such at the post about people demanding a coffee at Starbucks just before a hurricane). My favorite grocery store used to be the Fiesta on Dunlavy until they (somewhat) spruced up the one on 14th a few years back. If I just want to grocery shop quickly and w/o the crowds - I'll go to the Randall's on Westhemier/Shepherd - there's hardly anyone there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barracuda Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 The most annoying shoppers I've found are at Whole Foods on Kirby. I refer to the shoppers who roll their giant Lexus SUV into a compact space, and then block entire aisles with their carts while that chat away on their cell phone, oblivious to the other people trying to pass by. It's worse at this location because the aisles are narrow and yet the store is usually packed (including the parking lot). I miss the days when Whole Foods seemed to be frequented by hippies instead of pretentious soccer moms and dads... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20thStDad Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I've never been bumped by a cart, but I did bump someone pretty good one time. I blame the cute 1 year old I had in the seat, she must have been doing something either really funny or really annoying for me to be not paying attention that much. The person I hit didn't get angry, neither did I. I get the AWP looks when I cross the parking lot. Yield to pedestrians? NEVER! I have to get my fat ass to Starbucks NOW!

You're very focused on your items and you're "moving quickly"...hmm... why? You're dodging the other angry white people? That's why! (Oh, don't deny it. You're an AWP.

SilverJK Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 maybe he's too busy cutting people off shoving them into the cereal?The kroger on 11th street is the first place in my entire life that i saw someone try to cut in a grocery line. there were 3 buggies deep per register, and this female AWP tried to cut infront of three people. The second person said something like "what do you think your doing" to which the AWP replied "i'm in a hurry". I'm normally quick to mouth off, and have often suffered consequences for it, but i was so shocked i couldn't even respond. When she realized they weren't going to let her cut them, she shoved her buggy aside and yelled about how rude people were. I could have written this off to be someone who was really in a hurry, but 5 minutes later saw them going in to Buccannans.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
