Greetings, shoppers! Just a few helpful tips to help you fit in while shopping at your local Grocery Outlet.

  1. When parking at Grocery Outlet, the spaces are angled on purpose to make it look like you can only park in them from one direction- but don’t worry, you can park in them from either direction! The faded arrow is just a suggestion.
  2. Please back into spaces crooked. Going straight in is so passe these days, especially if you leave accidental room for me to get in and out of my car.
  3. Don’t park too far in the parking spot and be partially in the next spot ahead of you. Specifically, the one I’m trying to pull into that leaves the rear of my car 2 feet further out than I want it to be.
  4. Contrary to popular belief, taking two parking spots is actually more inclined to get you more scratches on your car. I shouldn’t have to explain that to you.
  5. When you’re inside and using a cart, make sure you keep it close and place it horizontally against refrigerator doors, vegetable displays and the cheese and meat areas. It gives me great pleasure to say excuse me at least three times a visit to get around your parked cart.
  6. When visiting a store that unfortunately has narrow aisles, please bring 5 family…
