Fun Things to do at Stop & Shop

(Or any other grocery store, for that matter)


  • Pick up a 20oz soda, walk to the deli, and nonchalantly leave it there.
  • Try to pop wheelies with the shopping carts.
  • Attempt to set up a grill in the meat aisle and cook hamburgers without the clerks noticing.
  • After you start the grill, attempt to get a rousing game of volleyball going.
  • When nobody's looking, sneak behind one of the registers and randomly hit buttons.
  • Demand to know where they're hiding the DDT.
  • Ask newly-hired employees where the Automotive section is, and get really pissed off when they can't find it.
  • Sing at the top of your lungs as you walk through the store.
  • Stand at one end of the aisle and do nothing for about an hour.
  • Hum the Stop & Shop jingle to everyone you see, and demand they stand still and listen until you finish.
  • Follow people about four inches behind them as if you want to pass them, but when they step aside, just look at them dumbly.
  • Pop all of the bags in Produce.
  • Walk back and forth between the cherries and the grapes, each time snatching one and eating it.
  • Get in the cart and demand that the employees push you.
  • Sing popular songs, but with inappropriate lyrics (ie, "Jingle Bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg...")
  • Ram other shopping carts for no apparent reason.
  • When other customers aren't looking, drop random items in their carts. Then follow them to see how long it takes them to figure it out.
  • Randomly rearrange the prices on the shelves.
  • Try to snatch a pricing gun, then walk around and place exorbinant prices on things (ie $10.55 for a can of beef gravy...)
  • Pelt customers in other isles with peanuts (or cherries).
  • Pick up candy bars, hurl them to the floor, and place them back. Then watch when people try to eat them.
  • Roll beach balls through the isles randomly. (And if you think anyone will pick up on it, start playing that weird Rover sound from "The Prisoner".)
  • Redeposit products from display stands around the store.
  • Pretend to stub your toe so that you can cuss in front of youngsters.
  • Ask for five pounds of meat from the deli, then wander off while they fill the order.
  • Violently shake all of the soda bottles.
  • Shove shopping carts into the parking lots randomly. Listen for "clang" or "kling" - then you've hit something.
  • Take mustard packets from the deli, then run over them with a shopping cart.
  • Create obstacle courses out of handbaskets and shopping carts, then watch as people (and eventually clerks) try to catch you.
  • Shove a shopping cart at the light bulbs, then run off and listen for the crash.
  • If there's a bookstore, bend back all of the covers on the books.
  • Again, if there's a bookstore, read passages from cheap romance novels aloud at the top of your lungs.
  • When the clerk is totaling your purchases, run away and hide.
  • Come on to the newly-hired clerks (males and females!).
  • Scribble obscene notes in the notebooks.
  • Whenever people are going down the aisle, shout "Red Light!"
  • Try to carry on conversations with the announcer voice.
  • Shout at nobody in paticular, "You chipped my paint job, you bastard!" Then watch the chaos ensue.
  • Try to kick field goals with bags of frozen fries.
  • Randomly jump into aisles with a mop, shout "Toxic Revenger!", then run off.
  • Roll soda bottles down the aisles randomly.
  • Play "catch" with a friend across aisles.
  • For no apparent reason, cry out "Cleanup on aisle five!" and see what happens.
  • Get a derranged look in your eye and start staring at the cutlery.
  • Argue with clerks that you won't buy asprin unless you can count the pills in the bottle.
  • Set up tripwires throughout the store.
  • Get live lobsters, then open the package and let them roam free through the store.
  • As above, but set up lobster "obstacle courses".
  • Pick up ice from Produce, then hurl it over into other aisles and cry "It's snowing!!!"
  • Try various martial arts moves using the objects in the store. If anyone asks, explain that you're a coreographer for Jackie Chan.
  • Switch the signs on the bathrooms.
  • Make it your duty to lean over everyone's shoulder and explicate at great length how unhealthy their purchases are.
  • The second a clerk speaks to you, scream at the top of your lungs that you want to see a manager. Then leave.
  • Stick fresh meat behind boxes of cereal and leave it.
  • Redeposit ice cream around the store, just make sure nobody sees you.
  • Scream at the top of your longs. When someone asks you what's wrong, mumble something and walk away.
  • Demand that every single item you buy be quadruple-bagged "just to be sure".
  • Try to get on the loudspeaker and make farting noises.
  • Punch holes in all of the saran-wrapped meat.
  • Pick up fruit, lick it, then put it back.
